Nottingham Forest plays today but I won’t know the score until after this has posted. I’m heading to my brother and his family this weekend to watch my nephew play basketball. (He’s 6!) I’m coming home Saturday afternoon and then back to my usual routine on Sunday.
What are you doing this weekend?

- Empire UK : blocus des navires fr #commerce pour en asphyxier l' #economie + la famille Austen avec leur fille #JaneAusten quitte Bath, dans le Somerset (cf 1801).
I drilled a hole in my #Commodore modem to add a headphone jack because I couldn't stand the sound of the built-in speaker. An unintended benefit is that now I can record the incoming audio signal directly. Here's a video of my #C64 receiving the first few paragraphs of Pride and Prejudice sent at 300 baud over VOIP, including the audio signal received by the modem:

300 baud is painfully slow, but that makes it easier for a plain old sound card sampling at 44.1kHz to record the signal with enough fidelity to clearly see the individual bits. In the attached image the Y axis is frequency and the X axis is time. The higher frequency represents 1 and the lower frequency represents 0. I've manually decoded the first few characters just for fun. Characters are ASCII-encoded and sent least-significant-bit-first, and each byte is preceded by a low "start" bit and followed by a high "stop" bit (ie. the terminal is configured with "8n1"). The signal may remain high between characters such as between the "R" and "I".
#SummerGlau moved to #LosAngeles with ballet training, one community theater credit, and a film education that mostly consisted of #JaneAusten adaptations. Nonetheless, she believed that she could become an actor. She was right.

Solche Leserinnenstimmen zu meinem Roman stimmen mich froh:
„Ich liebe die Charaktere und ihr tägliches Leben und mag sie gar nicht verlassen. Du hast ja unglaublich viel recherchiert und en passant, scheinbar ganz leicht, einfließen lassen."
Ich fühl' mich verstanden. ;-)

Keine Ahung von der Konkurrenz, aber dieser Oscar-Kandidat für Live Action Kurzfilm macht richtig Laune.

The Perfect Novel
After editing professionally for nearly forty years, I find it hard to read for pleasure. Instead of losing myself in a book, the back of my mind is appreciating how the plot is structured, how surprises are being laid in, how characters or evolving. Or, worse, I’m writing critiques in my head as I go.
So when Ruth and I were reading through Pride and Prejudice recently (reading comfort books aloud is one of the ways of coping with things at the moment), my internal editor was busy noticing all the ways this may well be the perfect novel. Certainly, Ms. Austen did a lot of critical things very right when the novel was still new and untested.

Zum Zitatemontag ein kleiner Hinweis darauf, wie sich altbekannte Charaktere ändern können. Ja, ja, es ist Mary Bennet - aber eben nicht aus „Stolz und Vorurteil", sondern aus meinem Debutroman „Mister Bennet" ...
