The boy done good...

Next few years and you'll be polishing a Hugo on the mantelpiece, mate.

Well done Ian.

Are you having anything included for this year's Hugo nominations/ballot Ian?

Seeing that it's taking place in my hometown of Melbourne in 2010 and I've both voted for and attended the Hugos previously, I have a keen interest in such matters...

Thanks, Patrick, and yes, don't forget to vote! The more people who nominate, the more valid the award process becomes.

As for a Hugo, J-Wo and Gollum, I wish! One step at a time... I'm just delighted to get nominated for the BSFAs.

I just read "The Assistant" today, nice story! I like stories that explore the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Thanks, FE!

Somehow this story seems to have stumbled, blinking and disorientated, onto the actual shortlist for the awards...

As a result, I've just posted it online, free to read for anyone who would like to:

Re: Nominated for an Award
Congratulations once again!

It's actually quite an interesting scenario/setting; following the lives of corporate cleaners who have to deal, not only with regular cleaning activities, but also having to clean out robot/viral attacks as well. There's quite a bit of scope for more stories or even a novel in there I think. I don't know if you've considered that at all?

Great news, Ian - congratulations on making the shortlist! It was definitely worth me voting then!

And I like your new blog site too - very swish!
