Hey, welcome!

Thanks for the link--it's pretty neat.

I'm surprised you had trouble listening to it. I just clicked on "listen" and a separate window popped up with the mp3, which started playing automatically. Perhaps if your browser won't play mp3s, you could try right-clicking (control-click on a Mac) and download the mp3 first.

What kind of computer do you have? If it's a Macintosh, I can help. Either way, you might want to consider using Firefox instead of IE.

And yeah, I tried finding it on iTunes and they seem to be way behind. Too bad, because some of the authors are interesting and iTunes is way more convenient!

Thanks for attaching the podcast! I enjoyed listening to it very much, I always like hearing Jasper talk about his books and stuff. Wouldn't it be fantastic to go to the fforde ffestival or have a house in a street named after people from Thursday Next! I wish I lived in England sometimes, instead of down under!

As you have already been offered Pi I will just say "EEEEEEE, welcome SnF!"

If BK hasn't buried it, there may be some Battenburg going spare and perhaps a drop of something hot to drink.

Calling people 'dear' will only make them more suspicious, grasshopper.

Welcome S&F! Would you like some coffee, tea, or hot chocolate? Or just chocolate?
Thanks for the link!

Kitten: I do it a lot. Just not often online.

But yes, welcome. To the castle!

I was once blissfully unaware. Then I tried some thinking "Well, if Hamlet didn't completely hate it..."

I liked the podcast too.
I've always wondered how to pronounce words like "ImaginoTransference". I guess Jasper is quite an authority in the field.
