Just saw the artwork for the new Simoqin cover, which I think should be a definite improvement. Chewing nails off in anticipation of Manticore cover.

cant you provide a link to the new cover? Or is that copyrighted or something?

Posted by thalassa_mikra | October 12, 2005, 9:58 pmwish i knew 😦
Posted by samit | October 13, 2005, 1:35 amLINK PLEASE! WHAT ABOUT MANTICORE COVER?
Posted by Pip Squeak | October 13, 2005, 4:07 amDoes this mean those of us who already have the book should buy it again for the spiffy new cover?
Posted by Aishwarya | October 13, 2005, 4:48 amPS: not sure if i should put it up at this point, since its not complete. will put it up once i see it with titles and everything.
aishwarya: 🙂 dont know if it will be THAT spiffy. but you should definitely buy the book again, many times.
Posted by samit | October 13, 2005, 4:56 amI like the old cover quite a bit, and hope the new one is even better :D.
Anyways, whats the site hijacking thing? Are they talking about this blog, or you got a personal website? If you havent, i think its high time you had samitbasu.in. I checked, its available. And in case you are not too tech savvy(which i doubt, i think you are) I can help you out. first buy the domain name(600rs/year), and then setup the site. and from that site you can link to your blog. Its very easy and not at all expensive. You can check out tanveer.in for a very basic site set up in 10 minutes :D.

Posted by Tanveer | October 13, 2005, 6:26 amWhat hijacking? I haven’t had any problems visiting your blog… its the same whether i click on a link, or type the address myself.
BTW, there’s another Samit Basu, who has his own webpage. Check out http://www.ifp.uiuc.edu/~sk-basu/
Otherwise the only place to go is this blog. And it has nothing wrong with it.
Posted by Shobhik | October 13, 2005, 8:24 amHmm there is nothing wrong with a blog, but i guess an author of this genre should have a website. lets say somebody just heard of samit basu, that person will first try samitbasu.com or samitbasu.in, rather than duckofdestiny.blogspot.com.
Posted by Tanveer | October 13, 2005, 8:58 amumm, this comment is utterly irrelevant o your post actually, just wanted to say shubho bijoya 🙂
Posted by babelfish | October 13, 2005, 2:55 pmTotally irrelevant, but still:
tanveer – its samitbasu.blogspot.com , and most people have heard of Google! Thats how I found his blog, months before I started blogging myself! But you’re right. Samit should have a website.
samit – shubho bijoya!
