Since the release of the J2ME client API for Poject Darkstar I've had 36 downloads of the plugin from the NetBeans plugin portal alone. Given that the target audience for this effort is a very small I think that this is quite a success. Too bad I can't cont the number of downloads from the plugin homepage.
Off topic warning!!!
In other news I've been lately listening to a number of podcasts and if you are interested in Sci-Fi but lack the time to read then checking out some of these podcasts may just do the trick for you, it did for me :)
- Grey by Jon Armstrong, not only an excellent audio book but also one of the very best books I've ever read, period.
- Singularity by Bill DeSmedt
- The Failed Cities Monologues by Matt Wallace
- The Rookie by Scott Sigler, while Scott is a legend his work is not for everyone (being action oriented rather than deep and though provoking)

Glad you enjoyed Grey and the Grey podcast! I'm busy on the next book, but keep in mind it took me 20 years on the Grey! In the meantime, try my podcast about books and culture: If You're Just Joining Us.

As long as you manage put it out in your lifetime I am sure it will be worth the wait :)
Again I just have to say that listening to Grey was like tasting Caviar for the first time.
