This $18 Bundle Includes Almost Every Discworld Novel.

Humble Bundle and book publisher Harper Collins have teamed up for a new book bundle focusing on the beloved Discworld series of fantasy novels by late author Terry Pratchett. The aptly named Terry Pratchett's Discworld Bundle includes up to 38 ebook editions of mainline Discworld novels, and like other Humble bundle deals, a portion of all sales goes to charity.

US only 😢

1. Billy, the festive whale (see previous toots for 'explanation')

2. I have a new coffee gadget

3. The joyful sounds of the small child next door discovering that Santa had been! (Not sarcasm - it genuinely was delightful)

:mtag: The Drum is filled with 1,000 Elephants - which means the top domains have now been reset avatar-wise. The queues are filling up to restore them; but as stated this can take up to a week (the system spreads it out to not swamp servers). Please be patient!

Feeling weirdly caught between chill and melancholy this evening.

The couple of days spent helping my MiL weren’t anywhere near as arduous as I feared they’d be, and while the drive up there yesterday was crappy (3 hours for a <2 hour journey), the drive back today was nice.

Drunk a couple of beers, watched some TV, mooched about online.

Bed time now, with a lay in tomorrow, and not a huge amount to do. Looking forward to it.

People on tumblr are so strange.

Do you want to know what my most popular post is over there? Is it a short story? A cool ant facts rundown? Is it some political issue thing?

No-- it's a "note to self" I posted about the world-building in my "Planet Myrmecos" series outlining how "Traditional Ant Names" work in the story. (super personal and obscure) People are over there giving each other ant names now like a colony and it's been going on for days. Don't understand... but, I'll take it.
