As it turns out, grad school classes take more time than undergrad classes. Imagine that. I'll try to be slightly more timely in the future, but we'll see. I have people dedicated to poking me with things when I tarry too long, in any event. On another note, we got a nice big spike in activity a few weeks ago when a school club I'm involved in (Gravity and Chaos), got linked on slashdot, after we dropped several thousand rubber bouncy balls from a decent height. This site's linked to from the club page, so there was some spillover. At least my server didn't just spontaneously turn into a smoking crater like theirs did.

Amalric is the name of someone associated with Conan, and Howard wrote a LOT of Conan, but I can't find a book with that title. Someone want to drop me a line if they can point me to it? The Book of Kane Karl Edward Wagner Reason: Already there General statistics Number of Books: ........................... 6093 Number of Authors: ........................... 845 Number of Series: .......................... 1069 Number of Books with 5+ votes: ... 1955 Number of Books with 0 votes: ..... 1410 Another long delay with no updates. Bad maintainer! Bad! I don't have a decent excuse. The Final Fantasy 11 beta devoured my soul, but I am slowly escaping its grasp. I'm sort of shocked that only one person submitted the new Harry Potter book in all that time. I know from the scores that come in that there are plenty of his fans out there visiting this humble site. It's a mystery... Oh, and yes, the book count is not broken, I'm just an idiot. Removing three duplicate books + adding three new books = no change in book count. Perhaps I shouldn't be starting math grad school in the fall after all.
06.06.03:	General scores update Removed/consolidated 3 duplicate books by Elizabeth Hand New books added The Burning Road Ann Benson The Turing Option Harry Harrison and Marvin Minsky Mad Merlin J Robert King General statistics Number of Books: ........................... 6076 Number of Authors: ........................... 845 Number of Series: .......................... 1067 Number of Books with 5+ votes: ... 1946 Number of Books with 0 votes: ..... 1421 Another end of a quarter, another update, heh. For some reason the "Number of Books" entry has stopped getting bigger. I'll have to track that down. Anyway, too hot to type more.

Smallish update, but at least results are coming in again.
04.19.03:	Fixed dead server name in vote submission Sorry about that. The server name that was pointed to for all the cgi vote submission behavior was an old dynamic workaround from before I got a static ip, and it's stopped working around, which prevented anyone from submitting votes in the last few weeks. That server is now hardcoded to eigenspace, so as long as I hold the domain, it shouldn't be an issue again. A real update is forthcoming.
03.22.03:	General scores update New books added The Moon's Shadow Catherine Asaro The Company Dossiers: Black Projects, White Knights Kage Baker Abarat Clive Barker Spires of Spirit The Dove Looked In Branch and Crown Gael Baudino The Fear Principle The Fear of God Learning Fear B A Chepaitis Skeen's Leap Skeen's Return Skeen's Search Drum Calls Drum Warning Drum into Silence The Burning Ground Fire in the Sky Crystal Heat A Bait of Dreams Shadow of the Warmaster Shadowkill Shadowspeer Shadowplay Diadem From the Stars Lamarchos Irsud Maeve Star Hunters The Nowhere Hunt Ghosthunt The Snares of Ibex Quester's Endgame Jo Clayton Wit'ch War Wit'ch Gate Wit'ch Star James Clemens Godheads Shade The Kronos Condition Emily Devenport The Gathering Storm Kate Elliott Becoming Human Testament Imposter The Beacon Valerie J Freireich Smoke and Mirrors Neil Gaiman Expendable Commitment Hour Vigilant Hunted Ascending Trapped James Alan Gardner Belarus Lee Hogan Blood Debt Tanya Huff The Tomorrow Log Sharon Lee and Steve Miller Acorna's Rebels Anne McCaffrey The Speed of Dark Elizabeth Moon Turning Point Fortune's Wheel Fire Margins Razor's Edge Dark Nadir Stronghold Rising Between Darkness and Light Lisanne Norman By Chaos Cursed The Children of Wrath The Beasts of Barakhai The Lost Dragons of Barakhai The Flightless Falcon The Unknown Soldier Mickey Zucker Reichert Sword-Sworn Jennifer Roberson Angelica Sharon Shinn Broken Time Maggy Thomas Eyes of Amber and Other Stories Joan D Vinge The Hunters Burt Wetanson and Thomas Hoobler General statistics Number of Books: ........................... 6074 Number of Authors: ........................... 844 Number of Series: .......................... 1067 Number of Books with 5+ votes: ... 1940 Number of Books with 0 votes: ..... 1442 With the end of another quarter comes another update. Good chunk of new books this time. (And not a single rejected, that may be a first!) There was a significant spike of activity over a one-hour period last week that perplexed me for a while, until I saw a link to the page from a comment on slashdot. Not a true slashdotting (poor prime would be a smoking ruin in that case, I suspect), but at least a glancing blow.

I've been holding off because I've been busy and the volume hasn't been that high (except for the suggested books, as you can see). Apparently James Axler is effectively a series of ghost-writers, but since that's the name on the books, I guess that's where they can be filed.
12.11.02:	General scores update (FINALLY!) Corrected author information for the X-Wing series of Star Wars novels New books added The Eye of Night Pauline J Alama Shadows and Light Anne Bishop Foundation's Triumph Kiln People David Brin We All Fall Down Brian Caldwell Rossum's Universal Robots Karel Capek How could I have possibly forgotten this one for all this time?

It's been a long quarter, but after two more finals, it's done with, and I can look forward to an even longer winter quarter (what lunatic decided 8am was a good time for ANY class, let along a COMPUTER SCIENCE class? Has anyone ever SEEN a computer geek who is coherent at that time? Bah.) Anyway, big update, hopefully the next will be sooner than two and a half months from now, eh?
11.28.02:	Not dead (yet) Sorry about the dreadful lack of updates. This quarter is trying to destroy me. No update yet, either, I'll get to it when I can, probably in roughly two weeks. Keep submitting votes, I WILL get to them. Blah.
09.30.02:	General scores update Books added White Apples Jonathan Carroll Artemis Fowl Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident Eoin Colfer Scorpianne Larissa Eggheads Emily Devenport Water: Tales of Elemental Spirits Robin McKinley & Peter Dickinson The Whispers Faces of Infinity Paradox Gate Dan Parkinson Rejected books Lovescraft Reason: insufficient information Quo Vadis Henryk Sienkiewicz Reason: Not SF/F General statistics Number of Books: ........................... 5898 Number of Authors: ........................... 830 Number of Series: .......................... 1050 Number of Books with 5+ votes: ... 1921 Number of Books with 0 votes: ..... 1308 Standard update. School's started up, but updates could hardly get more sporadic, could they? Voting activity has leveled off, more or less, still less than pre-@home-implosion, but a decent level.

Activity is still considerably lower than before the @Home implosion, but getting better all the time.

Much easier to do now that I don't have to deal with attbi's crummy unstable ftp system. Anyone planning to get dsl in the pacific northwest should definitely look into blarg.net as an isp, they run a good shop. And such a nifty name.
