    I know Tiste said he DNFed RISE OF THE RANGER by Phillip C. Quaintrell, but I'm nearing the halfway point and I'm enthralled and enjoying. There's so many fun varying fantasy concepts at play: Humans and Elves at either war or distrust of one another verging on war, time travel, rangers, and knights, and Mages, oh my! Many fantasy beasties, kings, queens, and politicking, assassins and assassin-guilds, elf sex, vicious merpeople who demand "human" payment for god knows what purpose as a bargain to give ships better sailing to their destination, ancient ruins, a massive map with a thousand year history, magic weapons, crystals, and other items, well-rounded characters filled with personality.

    It's just good, classic fantasy and I'm very much looking forward to finishing it and getting the next book in the series.


    I just bought book 1 based on this recommendation.

    I'll start it after I finish Peter F. Hamilton's Exodus: The Archimedes Engine.


    Hamilton's Exodus: The Archimedes Engine is exactly what you'd expect from him -- in all the best ways. If you like any of Hamilton's previous works, you will like this. Highly recommend.

    It's better than a video game universe tie-in has any right to be (joining the ranks of all the other tie-ins that are better than they have any right to be).

    My only quibble from the very last page...

    Not sure where to go with this one.
    Bowed down to the man, took the money.

    Sat down to the maths, when I broke it down it equates in real term money in the bank as about a 45% raise

    If you want to tolerate it for a 2 year set point or whatever time period, that probably leaves you and your family feeling good without being trapped in perpetuity and sets up for a transfer to the next job at a higher pay bracket.


    Or you'll toil forever while riding the Jones' treadmill to lifestyle creep hell.

    But, probably what Amph said!

    Same vibe i'm getting from Rachel Aaron's Legends of Eli Monpress bk 1, SPIRIT THIEF. I'm holding opinion til i see whether she can stick the landing, but there's an olde skoole caper fantasy feel to this book that's working for me and I hope will carry fwd into the rest of the series.



    Oooh, I read the Monpress books a few years ago and am a big fan! Hopefully you continue to enjoy them, especially as the world is fully revealed and the scope increases significantly!

    Yeah, they didn't make it easy though.
    Offered me a promotion, car and fuel card and work from home Fridays.

    I mean the money would he ace, but being able to have breakfast with my wife and actually cook her dinner for a change tops it. Currently spending 3 to 4 hours a day in the car

    There it is. My hours give me the ability to not only pick my kids up from aftercare, but cook dinner for everyone. That's a huge thing and it's worth its weight in gold (or extra coinage)....you can always make more money, but the memories and experiences with your missus are priceless.


    That's just my opinion mind you, you do whatever feels right for you guys.



    Agree w the basis for your decision Mac, and QT's support.

    You should feel good about their offer tho. that's a solid compliment even if you decline.

    Americans don't understand this conversation.



    I understand the individual words in the quoted posts, but the way they're strung together? Nonsense!

    Undervolting isn't something I've ever done myself, it's one of those things that really isn't that useful in the broader sense.
    It can reduce your power usage quite a lot, but at the same time it takes a huge bite out of your performance, just like underclocking. It's also, as far as I'm aware, somewhat risky as you're playing with the power supplied to your C...

    Westchester County is about 2 hours and 45 minutes from Albany. I don't know where you're getting 4 hours from.

    If by close, you mean two hours and change away, then yes, Syracuse is close. Just as close as Westchester County is. Have fun at 'Cuse.

    I'm a Google search professional. I have 4 degrees on it, but I still suck on the creativity part. I was never good at doing anything visual, hence my incredibly ugly face.

    They are all very nice. Do you use Photoshop to do those or something else?
    I gave up trying to do any kind of visual design years ago, I finally understood that it requires talent, which I don't have.

    Are the images on your DevianART page all made by you?
    They look incredible.
