TNH and I have updated the nielsenhayden.com home page, mostly to add something that was notably missing—a brief paragraph explaining what we’re generally looking for as acquiring novel editors.
Of course, “calling card” sites never get updated as often as they promise. And ours’s design is still straight outta Movable Type templates circa 2003. Do you figure if we leave it that way long enough, the look will cycle back into being icily retro-hip? Here’s hoping.
I like it, as is. But I'm getting old, and set in my ways. :)
(It'd be nice though if ML had a like/notlike button for comments.)
Click "like" if you think the commenter resembles you.
Click "dislike" if you think the commenter resembles Hitler.
Click "not like" if you speak pidgen English.
Click "unlike" if you used to love her but it's all over now.
I'm tempted to ask what you click if you resemble Hitler.
Mongoose @5, a handy link to a local plastic surgeon...?
Actually, you get the Sudetenland as your last territorial demand....
D'oh! The answer is obvious. I know what you click if you resemble Hitler. Your heels, of course.
(For the record, thankfully, I do not resemble Hitler. But I did know a cat who did.)
Mongoose, #8: ... three times while repeating, "There's no place like home"?
Mongoose @ 5: with Mussolini.
John A Arkansawyer #10: But not really with Franco.
Serge, I though you knew. I'm afraid that Francisco Franco is still dead.
Still some old links there, alas. Perhaps one day the wheel will come full circle and the unofficial TAFF site will again be hosted at the University of Glasgow, which took it down years and years ago. Also I haven't had an account at demon.co.uk for a very long time.
Here as gnome-bait are the relevant paragraphs with working links, communicated to PNH in 2011 and resent this May:
The rest of our never-finished TAFF report, from the TAFF archive maintained by Dave Langford“TAFF in Thirteen Paragraphs,” our exegesis of the Fund, its practice and its ideals, from the same site
Dave Langford, #15: Oy. Thanks for the updated links, and apologies for spacing out your previous attempts to communicate them. They are now actually and truly fixed.
