Just back from listening to Neil Gaiman read at Borders

Just back from listening to Neil Gaiman read at Borders. The event listing on his web site didn't mention signing, so I foolishly assumed there would be none; when I left the event there was a queue of better-prepared people halfway across the floor.

Fun, though. He read "Wolves in the Walls", then answered questions. " Where do I get my ideas from? Confluence. You should be very careful asking that question, because 90% of authors will make up a joke answer". Favourite characters: Delirium (Sandman), Crowley - or possibly Death (Good Omens), Wednesday (American Gods). No, there probably won't be another Pratchett collaboration. His Babylon 5 episode was pretty much entirely his own work. And his sinister beard makes him look, well, sinister. But also kind of cool (as if he didn't already).

Geeky stuff about what I do. Many include Lisp, Android, Javascript, Linux and matters arising. For my other personality (less tech and more skating/cycling), see coruskate
