I was disappointed to discover that Burn Notice was a rerun last night. I was looking forward to the torture interrogation episode. Not until next week, I guess. I watched the first episode of Big Brother. I have two guesses who the saboteur might be based on their reactions at various times: Kristen and Andrew.
I upgraded my iPod Touch to iPhone software version 4.0 last night. Mostly a painless process. Apparently this a major step forward–the new software apparently supports multitasking (though I haven’t seen how yet) and folder creation. My only complaint is that Safari now crashes on one of the sites I visit frequently. It’s a secure site with an invalid security certificate. After I accept the certificate, the page starts to load and then Safari goes away. At least Opera still works there. I found a message board where other people are finding the same problem on similar pages.
On the other hand, the Facebook app is a lot peppier. Likes and comments now post immediately instead of after a long delay.
I started working on my review of Stories: All-New Tales last night. This morning I got a couple of short stories back into circulation. Received a nice rejection letter from Asimov’s yesterday and an implied rejection from the 2010 HWA anthology when my name didn’t appear in the TOC. The audio version of my short story “Harming Obssion” (read by me) appears on the NECON 30 audio CD, which will be given out to attendees. Alas, I won’t be able to go this year. The CD also has stories by Rick Hautala, Yvonne Navarro, Weston Ochse and some other people whose names you’ll probably recognize.
