Dan, please, what’s the meaning of lemmetellya?

Here, a topic commented in Colour Comments

Of microorganisms and man: First large-scale test confirms Darwin’s theory of universal common ancestry
May 12, 2010More than 150 years ago, Darwin proposed the theory of universal common ancestry (UCA), linking all forms of life by a shared genetic heritage from single-celled microorganisms to humans. Until now, the theory that makes ladybugs, oak trees, champagne yeast and humans distant relatives has remained beyond the scope of a formal test. This week, a Brandeis biochemist reports in Nature the results of the first large scale, quantitative test of the famous theory that underpins modern evolutionary biology.

Is that like the “Chinese Curse”?

“May you live in ‘interesting’ times!”

Ah gots ta ad-mit it. Folks in Utah are every bit as screwed up as folks in Texas. (Take last week’s political conventions, for example.) In fact, I’ve known some really fine folks from Texas.

Thanks for the good wishes. I’m deep into working on that book I mentioned earlier now. It’s tough sledding, lemmetellya! I’ll need all the good wishes I can get.

Thanks, Dan.
It’s been an interesting read.
In Texas, we would wish you happy trails ahead.
Good luck on your new endeavor.

Good luck Dan.
Actually, you are capable of doing several things at the same time: so hear to Peggy’s comment as Steven has said and I am sure that we will all follow.

Wow! I may not have a lot of readers, but the ones I do have are pretty great!

I don’t know exactly how long this site will last at this point, so I decided that I better get this out.

First, I will send emails out if and when I have something else going on. Send your emails to:

seigfried@msn.com

Second, I actually DO have something else going on now. In a way, the demise of ColorComments.com is a blessing in disguise because I’m now looking at 16 hour work days for the next several months.

It appears that I will have a contract to co-author a book with one of the most respected technical authors in the field: Matthew MacDonald. (Check out his books the next time you are in a bookstore that has a good selection of computer books.) In fact, I just received the first batch of draft chapters to work on today.

It’s not even close to the kind of writing I have been doing at ColorComments.com, but it’s a unique opportunity that I just can’t pass up. Wish me luck!!

And thank you, one and all, for your own ColorComments!

Dan,
I’ve intentionally waited several days to respond so I could digest the other responders comments first.
I say Hear! Hear! to Peggy’s comment. I currently donate $10-$15 annually to at least three newsletters which I consider equivalent to Dan’s blog. I would willingly donate/pay the same for Dan’s fine work. If he changes his mind, I’m in!
Lena, RPMcMurphy, Carleen, and Manou: I echo your critique of Dan’s craft. Personally I find writing to be EXTREMELY difficult in that I don’t seem to be able to transfer my wonderfully unique thoughts/ideas from my mind to the printed word — Dan is able to and that’s why I’ve followed him.
Best of luck in your publishing endeavors Dan. Keep in touch. Thanks for the privilege of reading your OMS novel as well as your other posted writings. Let me know how the St. George writing competition turns out.
Fair winds & following seas my friend.

I hope “ce n’est qu’un au-revoir”
Really, I enjoy reading your blog even if I don’t participate effectively.
Would you please, anyone of you keep me informed

I think that Dan himself will solve our present problem. If not, by a simple search “Dan Mabbutt” it’s amazing: we will track his latest activities:)
I am ready to “follow” anyone of you (facebook twitter…)
“Bonne chance” to all of us

To echo the other comments, I too will miss your blog. I, like RPMcMurphy, enjoyed reading about serious topics without having to slog thru personal attacks and unsubstantiated biased stated as fact. You’ve always been up front about stating your personal opinions and never had to resort to masking it as Truth – like so many other blogs.
I too wish you sucess with your writing.

I am sorry you are going off the air – I will miss you.
I enjoyed this blog because serious topics could be discussed without the personal attacks found on other blogs.
You are a good writer – I wish you success.

Well I’m gonna miss you and your blog also. I sometimes find writing fills the bill much better than other forms of communication . DAMM! Lena
