The Plexes: System Guide

http://theplexes.blogspot.com/p/system-guide.html

This is a guide to the systems or stations mentioned or visited in the story. I'm putting this here as much for my own benefit as yours, because I got myself all tied. Up in knots over it. (Should have made the map first! In fact I might have taken some of them out. Before you read on, I found a recent article on 1970s tech designs built for NASA depicting toroids. And other types of space colonies. Karnaan is a desolate minor planet with immense stores of H 2. The Yucretia system has four jovian (gas) p...

The Plexes: Ship Classifications

http://theplexes.blogspot.com/p/ship-classifications.html

My ship classifications probably don't conform to any existing classifications, although I did borrow some of the lingo from the Navy. Thanks, guys! I don't have pictures, so I'll list in order of magnitude, starting with the smallest. Corvette (I avoided this one). Frigate (drones are about this size). Battle cruiser aka ram ship, warship. Generic Classifications of Non-Military Vessels. Solo, flyer, single ship (1 pilot). Small craft (usually 2-4 passengers, short range only). I never go into detail ab...

The Plexes: Unexplained

http://theplexes.blogspot.com/p/unexplained.html

Here are some other explanations and thought processes used in the story. Being outside my brain, you have no idea how I made currency work in this storyverse. It's simple. If you're wealthy, your currency is called liens. Which you can think of on the scale of dollars. So you buy a meal with stakes, and you buy the restaurant with liens. How do they jump from system to system in an instant? And then there's String Theory. In its simplest form it is that all matter is made up of one-dimensional component...

The Plexes: Galaxy Map

http://theplexes.blogspot.com/p/galaxy-map.html

Just in case you're a bit confused by the jumping around, I'll provide a little insight into my galaxy. I am trying to base it on the real Milky Way galaxy, given what we know or don't know. I found this site recently, http:/ galaxymap.org/. Which is absolutely amazing! All the colonies around Sol (Earth's sun) and the neighboring star systems joined together for commerce and what-not, calling their tenuous alliances the League. This being on the opposite side of the Penumbra, it makes a great place ...

Fintan Reilly - aka "Baby Goon" - aka "Bunky": July 2009

http://babygoon.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 23, 2009. Fintan started school a couple weeks ago - just two days a week for half day. I am hoping this will help him adjust to going full time in September. The school is a Montessori style preschool with a great reputation and a great facility. He is already enjoying it immensely - and amazingly enough, he is so exhausted when he comes home that he apparently puts himself to bed for a nap! Now if only we could get this to happen on weekends.). Since I am racing in my first triathlon.

The Plexes: Pronunciation

http://theplexes.blogspot.com/p/pronunciation.html

Mark told me this was going to happen. Boune would be "bown" and Reja would be "Reeja." That's okay, whatever works in your head is fine, unless it's distracting. I've been there. reading a name 300 times and every time you're wondering how it's pronounced - like Hermione. Distracting. So it's got to change. I'll start listing names and other things here as I think of them. And no I'm not going to use those insane international symbols. Sirjon = sir john. Appote = a poh tay. Greming = gree ming. Subscrib...

September 30, 2016. Once again I have not been updating, but it's about time that I do. I'm fleshing out the sequel and look forward to getting it finished around mid-January. (A draft, anyway.)
