Desiderius Price got a reaction from Darkalley_Muse in I've asked myself this a lot when writing: does the length of a chapter matter?
It both does and doesn’t matter. In the end, it down to how much you wish to convey in a chapter to make your point. Onthe pragmatic, a really long chapter takes longer for the reader, and details might clutter; but a really short chapter might not have the depth you’re desiring (and readers constantly having to click for the next one). For each of my stories, I’ve got numbers in my head, a range, that if I’m too low or too high, I evaluate what I’m trying to do with the chapter, then decide to cut/add material, or merge/split chapters. More often, its on the high side and I’m splitting chapters.

Yes, the daft one is working today as well. And tomorrow. And Saturday. Universities don’t close campuses. On the other hand, he’s going to make a ridiculous amount of overtime, which is always good.

Seems to now be leak free…. though I may consider putting some redesign into this setup, maybe go for a bigger pump?

I’ll cross everything for you that it’s only a seal, and nothing else was affected. Honestly, it’s a superb way to cool a desktop, but the potential for leaks always scares me a bit.

Let’s hope that works!

Some teflon tape and some sealant around the “plug” in a port, I’m testing it now. (This pump, I’m guessing, is designed to be able to feed more than a single hose, it was seeping around the plug of a disused port, and water was seeping, a slow trickle, but I could notice it.)

Fortunately, nothing had fried yet, it was more of me getting suspicious of “I just filled the reservoir, where’d it go?”

Got a heat sink on order, as a backup plan, though it’d be noisier :(

So, using the laptop until I get it sorted out.

Yep, liquid cooling. Fortunately, it’s (most likely) a pump seal, and the pump’s pretty low in the case (over bare metal too), so I don’t think there’s any collateral damage.

My habit has been a week, finding that to be about the right balance to forget enough so that a proofreading catches most of the cruft.

Desiderius Price got a reaction from BronxWench in Wondering if we’re going to have a Halloween round robin this year… it was fun last y
The first one I worked on several months ago, might go into the story proper, so it likely won’t be round robin material. I do have a second idea that I’m working on, a mini prequel to SR: Alaska.

Resistance is futile. Revision is inevitable.

The ones we need, the smart ones, know better than to get involved. It’d likely go better if we just made it like jury duty.

It also means it’s nearly time for the Halloween round robin
