Weekly Chat Reminder

2010-01-06 Thread William T Goodall

The Brin-L weekly chat has been a list tradition for over ten
years. Way back on 27 May, 1998, Marco Maisenhelder first set
up a chatroom for the list, and on the next day, he established
a weekly chat time. We've been through several servers, chat
technologies, and even casts of regulars over the years, but
the chat goes on... and we want more recruits!

Whether you're an active poster or a lurker, whether you've
been a member of the list from the beginning or just joined
today, we would really like for you to join us. We have less
politics, more Uplift talk, and more light-hearted discussion.
We're non-fattening and 100% environmentally friendly...
-(_() Though sometimes marshmallows do get thrown.

The Weekly Brin-L chat is scheduled for Wednesday 3 PM
Eastern/2 PM Central time in the US, or 7 PM Greenwich time.
There's usually somebody there to talk to for at least eight
hours after the start time. If no-one is there when you arrive
just wait around a while for the next person to show up!

If you want to attend, it's really easy now. All you have to
do is send your web browser to:

..And you can connect directly from the NEW new web
interface!

 is away on holiday, at least it shows the server is still up.

BRIN: Uplift books on Kindle?

2010-01-06 Thread John Williams
I was checking again for the Uplift books on Amazon Kindle, and things
have improved since the last time I looked, but the status is odd.

Uplift War is available on Kindle, and Heaven's Reach is available for
pre-order (Jan 13 release).

Oddly, Brightness Reef and Infinity's Shore are nowhere to be found on
Kindle. Why release Heaven's Reach but not the other two in the
trilogy?

And Startide Rising is still missing. If you search the Kindle store
for David Brin, you find a listing for Startide Rising: Kindle
Edition - Jan 11, 2009 Buy $3.55 Available for Pre-order but clicking
on the link gives a page that says Pricing information not available
and no way to purchase or pre-order the Kindle edition of the book.

What is going on?
