More musings
Hi Folks,
First, thanks for for your comments and good wishes. I truly appeciate the comments; we all do, I am sure! It looks like Eric, Anthony, and I shall soon have a new online home. Anthony is taking the lead in the negotiations, but we should all be getting into the loop pretty soon. If this works out, we may be setting up there very soon. As it stands, it will be a set of self-contained "expert" forums on a commecial site, but as I understand it, it will be designed somewhat differently than we have been active in before hand. I will post here if and when those new forums open up. It will be pretty nice to put RC totally behind us. I still may be involved with Reefkeeping.com, but that remains to be seen. Skipper and JohnL have made noises about wanting me there, but I need to see some specific contract offers before that occurs.
My most recent
article, just got published in "
Reef Hobbyist Online."
Interestingly enough through all of this, I got also got a few "don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out" comments. They are to be expected, I suppose. I find it interesting to see what crawls out from under their nice warm and slimy rocks these days. I have gotten specific "kicks" out of the dopes that condemn us (in this case Eric, Anthony, and I) for writing books and articles. Given the comments, I am sure that these people can't either read or understand what has been written.
What I find really incredulous is the amount of support that some of the frauds have recieved in all of this. If someone is so pathetic as to feel the need to state that they have two (not one, but
TWO) non-existant doctorates, they really are a few cans short of the proverbial six pack... Of course, the rationale for this is they feel that their claim would give some sort of "validation" for the bullspit that they utter. The consistency of some of these folks is truly bizarre - they have condemned Eric and me for our educational degrees, but they feel the need to claim their own. Ya gotta luv it!!! In any case, this particular social basket case has been left behind at RC, as far as I am concerned, although I have heard that he does babble on elsewhere.
Other life continues apace. Our morning is dawning rather warm for early January, in the high 20s, and cloudy. I hope the clouds will burn off after the sun is fully up.
I have to steel myself to go to Billings tomorrow for the removal of the 5o or so stitches on the side of my head. I will be glad to have the stitches out, but I am not thrilled with the thought of the process of their removal.
The remodel of my office/lab is occurring in full force at the present time, and may actually get done some day. However, it is so far behind schedule that I have had to cancel my speaking engagement at the IMAC in April. I was planning on doing some research with current velocities and flow regimes and their effects on animals. I have constructed a special tank to create actual laminar flow, and as this type of current is needed for the health of some animals, I hoped to detail some of the conditions necessary for successful maintenance of some hard to keep animals such as
Dendronephthya. Unfortunately, to do the experiments, and then subsequently analyze and write up the results would take longer than the time I have remaining before the IMAC, so I opted out of that conference.
I am scheduled to speak at the Boston Reefer's Society on February 25, though. Presently, that is the only speaking engagement I have scheduled.
On that happy note, I will close for the day. I probably will add to this blog tomorrow, depending on what I have to prior to travelling to Billings (about 150 miles one way) for the stitch removal. If not, I will be back Friday.
Thanks again for your comments and replies!
Cheers!
