Kip Carlson — The Gumshoe Files has been added to the quick stories area. It’s a throwaway thing I thought up this morning. Enjoy.

Of the four novels that are in various states, both electronically and cerebrally, the one that is foremost in my mind is the latest one, The Spark That Set The Flame. Straight, or standard, fiction, versus science fiction, seems to be the most difficult to sell to, and one genre that I didn’t think […]

Last night, I tried to get the wireless card working on the Omnibook. However, while I copied the appropriate configuration file info, I neglected to write down the file name. (Idiot!) Still, I gave it a decent shot to no avail.
