“Planetfall” posted!
A new Witches story this week! I present to you the very simply named “Planetfall“: “Shouldn’t we be moving, Miss Lucia?” Robert asked urgently. Lucia looked up at him, her pale blue eyes meeting his green ones. “We will go when we go,” she said coldly in a thick accent. Her dirt-smudged face was set.

Quasi-daily linkage
Windows 7: PHP can’t connect to localhost for mySQL – An issue that I have good reason to suspect has tied up a dev or two for many hours. Windows 7 needs to have a certain entry in the hosts file uncommented to allow PHP to connect to localhost.

If you're writing a book on frugal living, are you still trying to make a living off of it? Spinning right wrong – Heather spins a great tale. "But then an alien spaceship flew…
