Room with a View

Richard's current project has been going well. They had an equipment trial
today and everyone was very happy. It's a scheme at Dorchester hospital which
aims to transmit live footage from nature reserves into the intensive care
wards. There's research suggesting that cancer patients recover faster if they
have views of the natural world.

We originally heard about the project through the Dorset Wildlife Trust. It had
been abandoned as it had costed out way too expensive. Richard, being a
telecomms man, said 'that can be done for a fraction of the price if you do it
this way instead' and is now a happy bunny having proved his point.

The project is being sponsored by a cancer research charity and Richard will
also have an occasional job maintaining the equipment once the project is up and running.

Truth and Consequences

'Truth and Consequences', the sequel to my Stargate novel 'The Price to Pay',
came back from the copy shop yesterday. I've mailed out the 'trib copies and
all the copies for people who pre-ordered at Eclecticon last year.

kerravonsen, your copy is in the post.

Once I've caught up on life, I hope to start work on a third volume. I don't
think Maybourne's story is finshed yet, and Jack, Sam and Teal'c and Daniel
still have plenty to do, not to mention Cassandra and Bra'tac and....

I like PLOT.
