Yaoicon report

Sorry guys, it’s taken me a few days to get my life/mind back together. As you may know, I attended Yaoicon in San Francisco last week. Had a good time.

Forgot my camera so I thank my good friends Jade, James and Luisa for allowing me to post a few pics of theirs on my site: https://www.jetmykles.com/home/image-gallery/yaoicon-2008/

The very best single thing that happened all week happened in the first few minutes of Saturday after we’d opened the booth. Imagine my surprise to look up and see someone standing there dressed as one of MY characters!! It was too damn cool!

I met a lot of wonderful people. Thank you to those who came by to say hi, with an additional thank you to those who bought my books 😀 Much appreciated.

Loved seeing my author buddies again. It was a whirlwind week, though, so I didn’t get to spend much time with them outside of the vendor room. But that’s okay. We’ll get together again soon.

OH! If you go look at the pictures, do pause to appreciate Tall, Dark and Yummy. He was SO very hot!

Website Changes

Some major changes have happed to my website. One you may see, one you may not.

Computerotika.com and jetmykles.com have been mirrored for awhile with computerotika.com being the main site. I’ve now switched them around. For most of you, that won’t make one whit of difference, but you may want to update your bookmarks.

The old gallery no longer works. I’m going to try some redirection, but basically it was getting full of spam and I couldn’t handle it any longer. But the images are all still here and even easier to get to. Click the Images page above. It now has subpages to show the images in my WordPress software itself. Should be much easier for us all (I hope).

Any other changes should be minor but there probably are a few other things I did. If you see anything really amiss, let me know.

Read on if you’re curious about detail on why I made the switch. If you’re not interested in the technical stuff, stop here. Continue reading Website Changes

Feline companions

(this is the same post from FWF but I felt the need to spread it around)

I made a joke earlier this week to the cps. Something along the lines of I’d hope one day to be able to write without various things in my life going to hell. But then, I may not know HOW to write without strife. OK, not a very funny joke.

In the last two weeks, I lost two of my cats. This particular pair was born the year of the LA riots (1992), which happened to be the same year that I graduated from college. These cats were born at my parents’ house and moved with me four different times. They were with me through times when it was pretty much just me and an occassional friend dropping by. The last 10 years they’ve been with me and the SO, watching as we acquired a bunch of younger cats (because the SO can not stand to see a cat suffer. Simply isn’t in him). For nearly half of my life, they were with me when I was sick, kept me company in times of lonliness and watched over my early writing attempts. They were one of my early signs that the SO was a pretty cool guy.

These two saw me through so much and now they’re gone. I’d like to say both died peacefully, but I can’t. Both were very sick in the end and there was nothing we could do for them except watch them suffer. One died two weeks ago yesterday and we had to put the other to sleep yesterday because he was headed for the same painful end.

They are now without pain and for that, I’m grateful. I had them with me for 16 years and I’d like to think that they lived good lives. They were loved as best as we could love them. I hope they’re together again and enjoying the sun in the great beyond.

Damage and Squack. Rest in peace, my loves. I will have and do have other cats, but there can’t ever be two others like you.
