Guidance from the Dark Scribe – October 2010

Posted on by Ty Schwamberger

I mentioned awhile back that I will be writing a quarterly column, ‘Guidance from the Dark Scribe’, in the online Reviews Supplement Edition of  UK based Morpheus Tales Magazine.  Authors such as; Joe R. Lansdale, Michael Laimo, Joseph D’Lacey, Ray Garton, Christopher Golden, among many others, have graced the pages of the print version.  In fact, I just received print issue #10 in the mail yesterday and it looks quite amazing and I can’t wait to tear into it this weekend.

You can read my October column, ‘Horror – Check Yourself at the Door’, in #10 by visiting the Reviews Page or directly at the issue version of the Supplement.

Enjoy!

ClustrMaps Archive and Reset

Posted on by Ty Schwamberger

Below is a note from ClustrMaps (that little map at the bottom right hand side of the page):

Many thanks for being a loyal ClustrMaps user for the past year. Now that a year has elapsed since your account http://tyschwamberger.com was registered or archived, we are writing just to let you know that an annual automatic ‘archive’ of your red dots has taken place, meaning that all your ‘other’ (previous) red dots are safely stored in the Maps Archive, which you’ll find by clicking on the Maps Archive link immediately above your large full-size world map.

Although the map archive has already happened, your existing map will stay displayed until the NEXT update of your map. This helps to avoid displaying a totally empty map until there are fresh dots to show.

Yeah, tons of thanks for doing that yet another year.  I just don’t get it.
