Love the look of the upcoming Sinclair/Speccy book that states a 'November' release(on the Hiive site). Is this book on schedule? If it is I'll preorder this week. I'm really quite excited about this one :) Hell no! Am I ever on schedule??? I have to update the website, but I'm waiting for BT to in...

Still not got mine or even an email .... :cry: hi Nick. I'll check into that. I've got a batch of emails to send out as soon as my home Internet connection gets set up... The book may have been sent already. Send me a msg via the hiive books web site with your order number and I'll double check. An...

Another 2 years and no book :( Being serious for a while, I am not worried about it turning up and I know it will be a great book, I just hate waiting.. When I pre-ordered the book I was told it would be available in March though ;) Now think about it... When have I EVER got that right!!! :oops: Se...

The original Alone in the Dark... Too many moments to mention, but a few are: The ballroom dancers frozen in place - crapped myself when they started whirling around. The random jangly noises. The thing crashing through the attic window. The banging on the trapdoor in the same place. The cthonian(?)...

Yeah, sorry,.. Not only have I had to change jobs and continents, but I've also had to contend with a upstream server problem causing the server to be down for about three weeks until I could convince AT&T to come and fix it. All the shipping information is on the server, so I couldn't get to it. Th...

... and of course the super generous Andrew Rollings who bought us all food and beer at the Carvery. Which reminds me, could someone PM me Andrew Rollings' email address please? Or does anyone know if he's on any forums? Was going to buy him a drink today to say thanks but unfortunately didn't catc...

Anyone driving up from or through the Reading/Bracknell area got room for one more?

Should be working now... Needed to reconfigure the server. Here are some crappy iPhone shots of the book... Sorry about the crappiness, but I'll get some better shots organized soon. http://www.andrewrollings.com/images/8bitbook/8bit-1.jpg http://www.andrewrollings.com/images/8bitbook/8bit-2.jpg htt...

Certainly!

Just heard from the printer... The books are about to be shipped. I'll have a couple of advance copies arriving on Friday. Expect copious photos!

Long(!) overdue update, but I've been moving countries in the past few weeks... The books will be arriving at Hiive HQ early next week, and will be sent out in the two weeks subsequent to that... Apparently there was an issue with "drying the ink". Beats "snow on the line" I guess. Sorry for the hol...

Pre - ordered, but price for postage was a bit of a shock.

It'll be a shade under 6x8"...

And yeah, sorry about the postage... It's shipped from the States, and the exchange rate isn't great right now
