Are you planning on coming to my convention? (http://www.constitution-con.org.uk/) I may have a programming request or two if so.

(Also I should talk to you at some point about Eastercon panels, but I'll do that after my con is over ;-)

What Eddings book/series would you recommend to someone who has (shamefully) listened to the bashing and not yet tried reading him?

Yay for fellow Stainless Steel Rat fans! :-D

I wasn't aware of David Eddings' death. =( He had a good long run of things, but it's still sad. His books made a big impression on me, and I reread the Elenium at least once a year.

The post about placenames really resonates with me - this is a subject on which I have reasonable knowledge and boundless opinions, and on which I've written in the past.

FWIW, I believe 'Yr Wyddfa' means 'the cairn' or similar, and refers to the heap-of-rocks appearance of the summit.
