Less than 12 hours to go!!! WOOHOO!!!
(And I still don’t know how it ends! Yay!)
Yes, yes, I’m cheating on my no-Web pledge by posting this. So sue me. (It was a gratuitous promise anyway, and thus, lacking consideration, not enforceable. So, barring some quasi-contractual remedy… oh, nevermind.)
Besides, I made it through 60 straight hours without blogging or commenting. That’s pretty good, right? :)
Anyway, just an FYI - tonight, starting at midnight, the timestamp on “That Which Must Not Be Blogged” will begin refreshing once a minute, via a cron script. As a result, it will remain on top of the homepage all day Saturday, even as new stuff is posted below it.
That way, anyone who wants to comment on Deathly Hallows as they’re reading it will be able to easily do so.
To further facilitate commentary-while-reading, I’ve created a special “safe” comment form for those who might want to leave spoileriffic comments while reading the book without reading anyone else’s spoilers. That form will post comments to “That Which Must Not Be Blogged” without displaying them.
And of course, those who want to continue avoiding all discussion of spoilers altogether will be able to simply scroll past “That Which Must Not Be Blogged” and look at whatever’s below it.
Again, just a reminder, in case anyone is still unclear on the concept. :) Please do not post spoilers here, or on any cell-phone posts that I may blog from the book-release party tonight, or anyplace else except “That Which Must Not Be Blogged.” That post is the ONLY place for spoilers, and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Thank you!
And now, I return to my self-imposed exile. Happy reading, everyone!

My lawyers, Dewey, Cheatem & Howe, indicate that my continued viewing of your website is “consideration”, and that in addition to breach of contract, there will be emotional pain and suffering. So there!
They’ve also advised me to ask for your first born… ;-)

Additionally, Captain’s Quarters has post on “The Harry Hurry”. Amusing poll, too.

Interestingly enough, I never got any action from anyone. Opportunity lost, I suppose.

IRA - be VERY careful if offered a first-born as surety for anything … do you have ANY idea how expensive a good education is ? Or a place in a good university ?
