@136:R. M. Koske - I hear you. I live in Atlanta, too. I'd love to
bike to work, but my route takes me down a very narrow, very busy two
lane road without sidewalks where people drive 50mph, and onto a
limited access road that says "No bikes." I also live in the MARTAless
'burbs.

Oh, and I forgot to mention (@anyone in general)--linux is also very
forgiving of old hardware, if you use the right distribution.

My Diva Cup rocks the house, and I write in plain text because that
way I get the benefit of subversion's merge and conflict resolution
features. I wish I could bike to work. I suggest it every time we fill
up the gas tank.

Patrick @ #34 - Actually, I noticed that the corporate website was
no longer partying like it's 1999. Do I get a cookie for noticing? ;)

Russ @ #56 - It's that wacky "view all by" link. Chock full of tasty email address goodness.

boogieshoes @ #123 - Yes, I know about Baen's Bar. My SO lives there. I'm totally not their target audience.

Fitzroy @ #269 - Yes! :)

More hints. Not only does he learn his life is a lie and that he's the messiah, he also falls in love with a beautiful colleague and does battle with an evil computer.

After rotting #252--yeah, I never would have gotten that one.

A man learns his entire life is a lie, and he's the messiah?

Bryan @ #248 Tbyqvybpxf.

Yeah, I'm thinking I haven't read that one, either.

Xopher @ #237 - Hint: Our hero also learns that he's the messiah.
Posted on entry This can't be good for one's soul ::: February 19, 2008, 02:55 PM:
P.S. Xopher, please give me a hint.

Xopher @ #202 - That works, but it's not the one I had in mind.

John Houghton @ #205 - Yep. :)

Xopher @ #186, LOL, no wonder it seemed like such a good idea! Multitasking is bad for focus.

And I'm stumped by yours, but I'll keep working on it.

A man discovers that his entire world is a lie.

Lance got it, Xopher (@ #176). The protagonist has the same first name as the hero in #2.
Posted on entry This can't be good for one's soul ::: February 19, 2008, 01:47 PM:
Lance @ #173 - Yes, you're right. Gur Gjb Uneelf (Cbggre naq Qerfqra).

A girl lands on an alien world, kills the evil overlord, and is sent on another assassination mission.
Posted on entry This can't be good for one's soul ::: February 19, 2008, 01:40 PM:
Xopher @ #167 - Yes, it's Uneel Cbggre. :)

Still no snarky wizard?

A.R. @ #161 - Tvytnzrfu?

Carrie @ #157--now that's Fgne Jnef!
Posted on entry This can't be good for one's soul ::: February 19, 2008, 01:31 PM:
Xopher: 1 out of 3. Vaqvnan Wbarf is correct. Fgne Jnef works, but it's not the title I had in mind.

Madeline F. @ #11: Okay. Hmmmm.

Snarky wizard with hunky vampire brother and cute pets fights crime.

Abused orphan boy learns he really is special and important when he develops magic powers.

Handsome college professor takes time off teaching to fight Nazis and save the world.

And, of course, my favorite, which I'm paraphrasing from memory from J. Michael Straczynski's scriptwriting book: Male meets female. Male pursues female. Male dies for love of female. Q: Is this Romeo and Juliet or King Kong? A: Yes.
