Lafferty's Heaven 5: War

[stePH]

Is this done?  I can't find any indication that this is finished, but the last episode released was part 9 at the end of July.

As far as I know Mur's still working on it.  She's been ill recently though, hence the delay.

[DKT]

No, I'm pretty sure it isn't done. I think Mur blogged that it was going to be a bit longer than she originally anticipated, so it's probably just a little hiatus.

I believe it's been illness, followed by too many commitments, followed by Con Season, followed by more illness.  She's on twitter http://m.tweete.net/mightymur  You can see how many distractions etc, occur in her life with the PT, etc.

Doesn't help; I avoid Twitter on principle.

You're missing out. Seriously.

I've since signed up and started following a few people (initially, just the cast of Questionable Content.)

But as you can see from my profile, I still don't "tweet".

And I'm still not convinced of Twitter's value.  What exactly was I 'missing out' on?

You have to invest a little time to reap the rewards. Follow interesting people. retweet interesting links.
Potential rewards, that I've found:

Breaking news MUCH faster than plain news sites. I knew about, for instance, MJ's death long before it hit CNN, MSNBC or any similar site.

Interesting links in a wide variety of genres.

Well personally I have found out some things about some of the podcasts/podcasters I follow, that wouldn't have known otherwise.  like I didn't really care much for JC Hutchins filler after 7th Son, but without twitter, would probably have missed the whole Personal Effects thing.

I also follow, Al Jazerra News, VoA  Special English, and BBC Learning English, which have been helpful when needing current event info for my English Classes.  You can follow many other news sources, if your someone like me who doesn't watch much TV or  read a daily paper, it's a way to stay current on what's happening in the world.

Dude. It's about people, known, community. I started when a forum I loved migrated to Twitter. In short, start with someone(s) you know (and trust). Look at whom they follow, and check their tweets. If you like them, follow. If not, look elsewhere.

Also... where else can you get a pic of Mur and Alisdair?

(Mur: hot)

(Alisdair: not so much --but pleasant)

Dude. It's about people,

Ah ... the "Cloverfield Defense"
