Hello, and Happy New Year 2552 (as it is here in Thailand).
ReplyDeletePlease can you publish the "Eagle on the Web" article in your blog in the near future, for those (very few, probably only me) of us who run Eagle related websites and who are unable to get hold of the hardcopy due to our remote south-east Asian location and totally unreliable postal "service"? :)
Seriously, there is no way I can get an overseas subscription delivered to me here in rural central Thailand, even Christmas cards from England didn't arrive, so a bit of online help would be very much appreciated.....
I'll blog and link you back, as always. :)
All the best,
Peter Inns.
Peter,
ReplyDeleteA Happy New Year to you too! And apologies for the delay in answering your comment.
The 'Eagle on the Web' series of articles, written throughout by David Britton, has been running in Eagle Times since the Autumn 2002 issue.
In the latest issue David reflects that "when I undertook writing this feature for Eagle Times, the majority of our readers did not have access to the internet, and there was no Eagle Times website. Things have changed, most members appear to have e-mail addresses". He also points out there is now an Eagle Times blog. The 'Eagle on the Web' article in the Winter 2008 issue is therefore the last.
David has provided some encouraging support to my efforts on this blog. Hopefully readers of Eagle Times can look to this site for the sort of information that David used to write in 'Eagle on the Web'!
Regards,
Will.
