iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Um, thanks, I guess. As a longtime user I really didn't want to read that. I'll be consulting my linux guru about upgrading security if that's possible with very smart and fast machines loose in the system. Butlerian jihad anyone?

That's great! I have set alerts, alarums and tripwires for the preorder and have just given my email to your minions. You have minions right? It will be done when it's done and I can be patient...if I must. Be well!

Another great shot! Is that the martello tower from Joyce's Ulysses in the background?

There's nothing wrong with bulking before the cut. That's my excuse anyway.

Well come on up! A fun way to see puffins and gannets is to go whale watching in the Bay of Fundy. The whales are pretty cool too.

bob gasper @bobgasper.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Lol. Travel note here, there are puffins you can drive to in Newfoundland & Labrador and on couple of islands in Nova Scotia.

You're welcome! The Darkest Midnight is cued up and I'm looking forward to the magic.

@rafinley.bsky.social #TheStoneofShadows I thought it was a little slow to get moving and then about halfway I paused... to buy the next two books in the series and set a reminder for book 4 next year. I do love a good story well told!

bob gasper @bobgasper.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Awesome reviews! Will there be an ebook?

bob gasper @bobgasper.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Great, Total Information Awareness just like that crazy general wanted after 9/11. I wondered when, not if, it would happen. Good luck, America, you know all the other kids are gonna want one too.

bob gasper @bobgasper.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Irish vampires come out in the daytime? Yikes! Your pictures are wonderful, so full of life and place.

Hard aground. I wonder what it's cargo is or was.

Always wrong, never in doubt. "Christ, what an asshole!" is a good phrase to keep handy.

If one wished to turn a country into a white nationalist ethnostate alienating all allies would be high on the to-do list. Along with deporting all the ungood folks of course. Looks like the plan is working... sort of

bob gasper @bobgasper.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Lol y'all, I'm Canadian and some of us use it now. Sounds more edumacated than youse

Yes! Glad I'm not the only one!

Even the fucking ceiling! Just light up the couch and most of that plastic will melt and dribble

There's a Canadian OS? Cool! Can you name it for those who don't have an NYT account please?

bob gasper @bobgasper.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

As a Canadian I also caught a hint of Stephen Leacock. Well done!

bob gasper @bobgasper.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Well, y' know, "for fans of Terry Pratchett." And PG Wodehouse and Tom Sharpe and Twain of course. You made this old backwoods hermit laugh out loud.

#booksky #fantasy #GingerbreadChildren by @carolcarman.bsky.social It's about time for an Igor! And mondegreens! And another snort/chuckle/cackle. And so much more. Magic, mayhem and pastry, and humans doing their best. A fine story, you should read it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

bob gasper @bobgasper.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Done! Now I know what's next

bob gasper @bobgasper.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Review on Kobo but I'll go to the zon for Gingerbread and a little C+P

I knew the name but had to look up Rosalind. Remarkable woman! So too Mrs. Beaton and her household management.

010

bob gasper @bobgasper.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

There's a whole cozy little world here, dare I hope for sequels and prequels? The ones in my head will do but still... Just kidding, thank you for this story.

bob gasper @bobgasper.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

#booksky #Fantasy #Twicetime by @carolcarman.bsky.social Book hangover! What next? Loved every bit and was sorry it ended. I laughed (the notes!), might have teared up a little and stayed up late two nights in a row. For fans of Sir Terry et al. indeed!

bob gasper @bobgasper.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

You're welcome! And yes, I will

bob gasper @bobgasper.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

#booksky #Fantasy #TwiceTime by @carolcarman.bsky.social Is very funny and well done! I'm a third of the way in and have to stop chuckling, snorting and laughing so I can go to sleep. I'll be looking for more soon at the rate I'm going. As always, my review: Is good book, you read!

World's best, greatest and most powerful country president ever(!) accuses another great power of serious crimes. Committed while he and his minions were in charge! I can't help thinking the Chinese will not be best pleased. Interesting times ahead.
