From Paris to Berlin... well, actually Adelaide to Townsville. Posted in 'Other' - by Affirmative on Tuesday, May 8 2012 |
|
|
Aff will be in Townsville, Queensland from May 16th onward. I can't give an 'end date' because I don't have one, yet. During this time the site will be run on 'automated paranoia mode' - all lost password requests will fail, and attempting to log into an account from a vastly different location will fail even if the correct password is used. My computers at home are set up to distrust foreign addresses, so they won't even allow me to log in from that location. Please do not lose your passwords! |

Writing of the Ancients to go online Posted in 'News' - by Shadowdancer on Monday, April 16 2012 |
|

As group projects go, this is one of the more impressive ones. To have 1.5 million ancient texts, most of them from the ancient Vatican libraries, be made available on the Internet is awesome. http://www.affsdiary.com/cgi-bin/vb/showthread.php?1291-1-5-million-ancient-texts-to-go-online |

SImple Recipes 10 is posted! Posted in 'Cooking' - by Shadowdancer on Sunday, April 15 2012 |
|
|
Simple Recipes 10: Dormitory Dining This one is a reader request, asking for the creation of very simple recipes that can be 1) cooked in a rice cooker with steamer tray and 2) don't need the use of fridge for the leftovers. Thus this issue is even simpler than the previous ones! Readers will need to sign up for a free forum account to view these sections however, and we highly encourage feedback and comments! |

CHEESECAKE~~!!! Posted in 'Cooking' - by Shadowdancer on Thursday, April 12 2012 |

 Technically this would be Simple Recipes: Step by Step Special # 2, but... my previous Special didn't have a name. This Special has Cheesecake that can be made without the use of an oven or a cake mixer to blend. THIS WAS DELICIOUS OH MY GODS Readers will need to sign up for a free forum account to view these sections however, and we highly encourage feedback and comments! |

Revolution Chapter II Is Up! Posted in 'Other' - by Shadowdancer on Wednesday, April 11 2012 |
|
Mary has posted the newest chapter for Revolution in Shadowdancer Scribblings! Here's a taste of the chapter:Nothing seemed to happen until one day, there was an explosion in the UML campus which led into an intense melee. No one knew who threw the first spell or fired the first shot. People were blind to their biases. While some of the protesters went to find higher ground as the security forces fired into the crowd like fish in a barrel, many fought back with Molotov Cocktails and other improvised weapons.

Simple Recipes 9 Is Available! Posted in 'Cooking' - by Shadowdancer on Sunday, April 8 2012 |
|
|
Simple Recipes 9 is all about the seafood - rather unintentionally themed to the Lent season (we so completely forgot about Easter this year we didn't have an easter egg hunt for the kids!) This issue was somewhat delayed because I wanted to take a photo of one of the recipes, but oops, forgot to factor in a couple of things like setting time. So to make up for it look forward to a Simple Recipes Special with photos later! |

We have a new contributor to Shadowdancer's Scribblings! For those unaware, I have a section called Guest Contributions where people are free to add their stories and artwork for viewing and enjoyment. Mary C. begins by sharing with us her story, tentatively titled Revolution, a well-plotted tale following the children who must now suffer the world made unintentionally by their parents' wish for equality between mundane and magic user. To see the story, you must register for the forum, but it is available for free otherwise! I highly encourage feedback and responses! |

Aff's Diary Breaks 10K Posted in 'Arcadian Storyverse' - by Affirmative on Tuesday, March 27 2012 |
|
|
As of March 28, 2012 (ignore the news script, it uses the wrong time zone) - the novel Aff's Diary has sold over ten thousand copies. Not bad for a book written initially as a joke and released only two years ago. That officially makes Aff's Diary my most successful work. Current subscribers (and people who subscribe before May) will be able to order a special Hardcover Collectors Edition of Aff's Diary, which includes extracts, artwork, and notes from both myself - David Chalmers, the author - and Rory Modena, the editor. It'll be signed by David, and include a personalised hand-written introduction and a thank you for supporting the Arcadian Storyverse & affsdiary.com Thanks for all the support! |

On March 17, this site will be down or disabled for an hour or so for an upgrade. Some service, such as the forum, will be unavailable during this time. The upgrade should take no more than one hour and when concluded, we should have a leaner, faster affsdiary.com |

A while ago I announced that a free series was coming to the forum - and it's arrived today. A spin-off from Aff's Diary, the web-series 'The Story of Seda' is a smaller, semi-daily story that is being posted on the Arcadian Storyverse forum (subscribers can read it even earlier on Station Two). Check it out - and if you like it, indicate your support. It helps keep the site fires burning. |

Simple Recipes Posted in 'Cooking' - by Shadowdancer on Friday, February 17 2012 |
|

I've started a weekly minizine focused on super-simplified recipes. Hopefully they'll be of use, and tasty, to folks who have very little time to cook. Issue 1 can be found here. This week, Issue 2 focuses on meals with a pre-prepared meat base. Happy cooking! |

That's what happens to old people. Posted in 'Slate' - by Affirmative on Friday, February 17 2012 |
|
|
I'm now older ... so expect my memory to be bad and my perspective to be off. I'm working on a few things at the moment to make the main site 'better' so you can expect some things to be broken over the next few days. Permission pending, I'll even be setting up an apt repository for software. In other news, Aff's Diary II is well on track for its intended release (October). It will be made available to active forum subscribers much earlier than that, so if you're interested that's the way to go. |
