Random Thoughts, Wednesday Edition
Mar. 6th, 2013 09:08 amWe are still struggling with my "high availability" network at work, which has suddenly become "low availability." That's been rather stressful, so not much blogging or writing happening. Having said that, here's a few random thoughts.
1) I just finished reading Spots The Space Marine by M. C. A. Hogarth. You may remember Ms. Hogarth as the writer who got afoul of Games Workshop's attempt to trademark "space marines." Despite the implications of the title, the book is a not-at-all funny piece of military SF. It's written in a screenplay format to book length, which results in a quick and urgent read. I found it enjoyable, and will be writing a more formal review soon.
2) Found via the highly-scientific means of "dinking around on the Internet" I present the Tulous of Fujian Province. These are large multi-tenant buildings, really small towns, build in China as protection from bandits and earthquakes. I envision something similar for early settlements on Mars.
