I would love to see the first chrons made into a movie. I have even tried to put together a team to at least do a few scenes to get some interest, either live action or animated. I am not an artist, or an actor. I have also thought recently about getting some funding to create a 10 minute scene, usi...

OK SO I loved SevenEves!! excellent reference, thanks!!!

I guess Cryptonomicon is next?

Still, though...one of the hardest pills to swallow happens at the beginning, and if the audience will come along for the journey after the rape of Lena, then it could be a success. I've been thinking about that ... it's not just rape, it's rape of an underage girl to boot. Possibly, if it's off sc...

UMMMM looks like a cover from the third chrons. wow. im not impressed.

I recommend you guys check out Ray Kurzweil's idea of the Singularity and his research on the Pattern Recognition Theory of Mind (PRTM) in his book How to create a Mind Kurzweils idea of the singularity is that by 2045 we will begin to merge with machine technology significantly and that we will hav...

Hello iQ, Sorry I was unable to vote. As it happened, I was blocked because apparently my Silverlight was out of date. When I tried to download the updated version it seems it drained the last of my broadband credit. I popped out to the all night garage for a top-up voucher but when I tried again t...

AV Awesome thanks! Yes we tie in QR Codes as a means to identifying equipment, which then allows us to associate live data from the automation system and documents (schematics) movies and other resources. Saves a LOT of time because tech don't have to turn their back on equipment to go get something...

Hi KW Friends. I lurk a lot here but haven't posted much in a while. I was hoping some of you might help me out by voting for my App iQagent in an upcoming award. Basically iQagent is a app for the plant floor which recognizes equipment and shows relevant schematics, live data and resources. It also...

done!!!!

I'm late to the party, but congrats Null! I'm a fan of your prose. thank-you. and good to see you back? :) Hi Guys. sorry I haven't been around. I've just been really busy for a few years both with my company and my kids. I'm trying to make enough money to fund the TCTC Movie, since no one else wil...

I'm late to the party, but congrats Null! I'm a fan of your pose.

I think that a proper appreciation of TLD would require one to (re-)read the entire Chronicles from LFB to TLD in sequence, in a reasonably short space of time (yet not so quickly that one isn't reading carefully and reflecting) to get a real sense of how the Last Chronicles and TLD develop and com...

Perhaps the wisest quote in the whole series Soulbiter. Foul all but admitted Covenant could slay him. TC decided not to, and it led to thousands of years of horror for the Land. That quote comes from a time before the Sunbane, before the Clave and their bloodlust, before the despoiling of the Land...

I have an idea for a project, and I need some help. I won't say what the project is here, only that it would interest those of us at the Watch. Its a just for fun thing, nothing for profit and only for the enjoyment of watchers. Here is what I need: - People who can draw well and take existing image...

Oh, great. now I have to finish mine, too. :D Please. It is sincerely anticipated, as was the recent fruition of Nom's Garden . I've started and scrapped several times. I know the last part, and it breaks my heart to write it, as stupid as that sounds. And I want to do it justice. The seareach miss...

I've finally completed this story. I've posted it over here in the Hall of Gifts. I decided to put both parts together, so that it can be read all at once. There is nothing in the story that is a spoiler if you haven't read the Final Chronicles. In fact, I finished the first draft of the second par...

An idea came to me from the recent question/thread about why Jeremiah didn't try the Harrow's suggestion of trapping the worm. My response was that perhaps Jer did exactly as the Harrow suggested. Maybe the (new) earth is a structure that traps the Worm ... for a little while. I'll have to go back ...
