Hi Daniel - or should i refer to you as The Big Cheese? Thanks a million for the welcome, I really appreciate it ... hopefully I'll be a regular at the bar. CrimeSpace is a brilliant idea, I'm sure you've heard that many times before ... Cheers, Dec

Hi, love the website which I found by accident, as one does, just looking at crime on the internet. Great that you are from a land downunder! I will be there in December for 11 days as my youngest is working at the Shakespeare Globe Centre in Sydney from late Aug. Hope to catch up with some friends in Sydney and Armidale and maybe Brisbane before going on to NZ where she has another job during her gap year. I am involved in a european crime fiction website and will put a link on it for you though obviously only the English readers and speakers will be able to enjoy crimespace. europolar.eu is in English, French (inc Belgians), German, Italian and Spanish and we may be adding other countries when we meet in Toulouse in Sept. The lingua franca is French as it was them who started it. What would you like me to put as the rationale for the website - or can I find that from your page and just copy a bit and put it on? I am off to Harrogate next week and will report on it for europolar. There are loads of festivals for crime fiction in France and I really hope to get to one soon. Will check out your writing too when I have a moment.

i know you're busy. just wanted to say I didn't realise it was your brainchild. good work! all I kept thinking was, my this guy does a lot of posting! all the best.

And why not, too, Daniel! it's an interesting face! but when do you have time to write? any bionic parts?!

ooh cool! titanium plate, maybe i'll get one.
sounds like it might work!

Karen J. Laubenstein

Wow - you've really expanded those resources and will come back to it again and again! What a great idea! I'll let authors know about it and you may have just contributed to a huge spurt in crime fiction! Having so much there at our fingertips can only help the writing go faster and better (smile).

It's also cool to have you post something tomorrow when it's your yesterday here. (Right now, it's Tuesday, 9:45 pm, Aug. 14th) Thanks for the offer to be a friend. I've come out this summer, but not like it sounds... got bionic ears and went from being deaf to hearing too much, it's a completely new life! Now to get the bionic body to go with the ears? I do tend to be attracted to magnetic things. My head stuck on our pickup truck last night.

Aug 15, 2007
Karen J. Laubenstein

Yeah, bionic ears. Sounds better than cochlear implants. I'm among the few who had both done at the same time - so didn't have to wait months and use just one. I like the plastic car concept and if we can only find one that pulls large travel trailers... but the trailer is magnetic, too! I keep wondering what future archaeologists will think if they ever dig my skull up with the implanted magnets and electrodes! Did I mention I can't wear the speech processors around static electricity -- so have to take them off before dressing or undressing? Or folding laundry? Or... you get the picture. Glad to be here. You're doing an amazing job! We have some Australian authors coming to Alaska for B'con.

Thanks Daniel! I love what you've done to the place - Crimespace looks very interesting and I can't wait to sink my teeth in. It looks like the perfect place to chat, argue and learn about all that is criminal in the world. I like it.

The spooky photo is only temporary; I will replace it with a photo of my noggin pretty soon, a photo only slightly less scary.

Are you going to have a party when the crimespace numbers hit 1,000?

Amazing!

How does it feel to be the irreplacable man in all of this? But I do find this the most cool of all cyberconnections. Well done, cobber.

Hi Daniel
A million cool points for putting this site together - I'm letting all my mates who are into this stuff know about it. One eentsy tiny question ... I cannot for the life of me get the badges and stuff to show on my Wordpress blog or MySpace. (On MySpace I get the phrase after the image, but no image.) Is anyone else reporting this, or is it just dumb stupidity on my part?

Eric Enck

Yes...very well done...fantastic sight. I'm glad there are places for writers to kick off their shoes.

Hey Daniel,

I'm trying to add some imbedded code from a Facebook app into my Crimespace Box and it shows up after I save but goes away once I leave the page. Any suggestions?

Hi, Daniel --

Just want to say thanks for creating this site. I've met some interesting people and followed some great discussions.

I check it daily, and that's more than I can say for almost anything online.

Thanks,

Tim

Approaching 1,000 members you may hear playing in the back of your head Thus Spake Zarathusa or something as momentus. I don't know if you're doing a temporal convergence, or want to start a contest to see who can estimate the day, date and time it all happens. I once won a bottle of bubbly for estimating the midpoint time for a Hawaii-LA flight, so I'm game.

Oct 15, 2007
David L. Hoof

Daniel,
Thanks for all of us. Perhaps there is some way that you could organize a reference system within crimespace, whereby those of us with certain niche expertise could make themselves available to those who need to know in order to help with plotting, and in turn be helped by those others who have niche wisdom we lack. This is just an idea, like the ones I write onto index cards and chuck in the bottom of a large box, sorting through every now and again.
Best,

David

Well, duh. Thanks Daniel; I guess I should have figured that out!

Yeah, finally figured out how to crop a family photo so it was just me there. I thought it was fairly authorish, LOL!

Daniel, Mate,
I've noted that 'new friends' are added in nonchronological order, or at least not all with the last moving to top left in the overall matrix layout. How do you assign a position in a group of 1 thru n photos, with n being the last (yours for me) in the set? This probably isn't something the average member notices (or even cares about) but if there is a method to your madness, well... it's like picking into the mind of a nonlinear organizer.

Many drinks later, chundering is an essential natural reaction in a nation where the first form of payment for labor was always in rum.

Hi Daniel, thought I'd just swing by to say that the site is great. Can't even begin to imagine how many long hours this took to set up! The resource area is 'kin amazing - thanks for putting this out there - just the kickstart I was looking for!

Hi Daniel

I noticed you wrote 'Finally, another Aussie' on Asra Pajalic's page. I think if you look around, you'll find plenty of us Aussies here, but maybe we're quiet? I've been a member for several months and enjoy the contact with crime (writing) lovers around the world.

Great work to have a seperate author section. I was reffered by the Mystery Writers of America so I have to believe now that this is separated from readersie socially interested.. you will get tons of members. Happy 2008.. All can visit me on crimespace.. and my space and my bruceforester.com web site to whet your interest in my mysteries. Now on book 3 of a 14 part series.. no I think 15 outlined..

Hi Daniel!
From Croatia straight to Australia - give my greetings to your father :) there are a lot of Croats there. I plan to see Australia one day when I have my own income... ;)
Btw, here in Rijeka we have a little legend about how Sidney got it's name and about how Croats actually named it :)

Hi Daniel, I'm in Sydney too, perhaps we should put our heads together and complain about how hard it is for Aussie writers to get anything published here.

Jan 11, 2008
Amanda Howard

Hi Daniel, yes it's very tough to even get a foot in the door in Oz. They want you to be well-published, before they'll even look at you, that goes for agents too. But once you're in so to speak it gets easier.

I went O/S for my first four books, so now I'm getting bites from Aussie agents and publishers, but still nothing is assured.

David L. Hoof

Bloody Hell, mate!
It's 5:42 in Washington DC and you're already on-line in Sydney where it must be 5:42 AM? Are you joking?

Jan 17, 2008
David L. Hoof

Quite possibly. 9:42 is much more civilized.

Daniel, the authors section is bloody fab! New Years res for me is to 'appear' in the coveted authors section!

I've produced articles for magazines and the book is underway - bring on 2008.......

Hi Daniel, glad to be aboard. I have a feeling it won't be too long before #1168 is one of the low numbers.

Hi Daniel - fantastic site. The only question is, as a book publicist with some of the world's best crime writers on my list, why have I only just discovered you??

Sigh...

Quite alright. I found that I had a character combo that the site software interpreted as an illegal HTML escape. I cleaned up my post and it worked fine.

Daniel--
How do we find people with ning sites without looking throught all 1200 pictures? When I go to search, I find comments but not sites. The only way I can communicate it try to find a subject I remember them commenting on and click their picture.

Hello Daniel -- I'm lost. Can you tell me if, when, or if I missed it -- announcement of winner(s) of the Crimespace short story contest? Or am I anticipating? I thought results were to be announced in March. I thought the Ides of March. Am I wrong?
