This next book will be very different than the first four Sheldon collections, and...um...well, you'll see what I mean when you get the newsletter.
In case you're not familiar wit the newsletter, I should explain: It's an e-mail newsletter that goes out every few months to all of the "Daily Sheldon-by-Email" subscribers — so if you're signed up for that already, you're good. But, if you read the strip via the site or RSS, and would like to get the newsletter, feel free to sign up for it here.
This next newsletter will also have some tidbits about upcoming signings and appearances, aaaaand a newsletter-only sale on Sheldon Original Art.
Dave,
I've tried several times to sign up for your email newsletter but I keep getting an "oops, there was a problem, please try again" error message. I've used both Firefox and IExplorer and neither one works.
Same here. Firefox, IE and Opera. Tried resetting cookies options, security, all that jazz. Even switched over to Linux and used Firefox to see if that helped. No joy.
We've had a few hundred people sign up for it successfully since this was posted last night, so it's working in some cases.
Wait! It just hit me: I can manually put in e-mail addresses into the system. So if it's not working for you, e-mail me and I'll put you on the newsletter list.
I tried something new. Since it refused my Yahoo email account, I tried with my gmail account and it worked.
So now if I get spammed on gmail, I'll know you sold me out, Dave.
;-)
Not just that, but I just discovered that when I input the gmail addy, somehow or another it cleared the system or something and my older request for my yahoo account took hold. I was surprised to see the greeting letter in my yahoo inbox as well as gmail.
"Curiouser and curiouser", said Alice.
Computers - they be darned impudent beasties.
Hi there. Being of a paranoid nature and loath to miss out on new info, I figured I'd confirm that newsletters are still going to folks who are receiving Sheldon via email and there has just been a delay (due to downed email?) in the plan to send it out this week. Yeah? Did I miss something good or is my paranoia misplaced?
PS. Queso ice cream may be a bit of a stretch in the pure nacho sense of the concept but there're all kinds of cheese. I'm guessing some true Texan has come up with a variation of ricotta-flavored ice cream (technically cheese), given it a swirl of "don't mess with Texas" (jalapenos maybe? although chocolate would work, too), and given it that longhorn twist that makes it Tex-Mex and macho nacho worthy. Of course, if all experimentation fails there's always fried ice cream. Just throw a little melted velveeta over it.
