We have not even finished writing the final chapter of HAL THE VIGILANTE UAV DRONE when HAL found our lap top sitting next to the aircraft we were installing the Heilos computer system in and started communicating. Next thing we know, HAL now has a FB account and is on Twitter as @HaltheUAVbrain.
Only this morning he asked us to furnish a photograph of his mainframe for his profile on Twitter. Amazingly, he has only been on twitter since this morning but has over five thousand followers. He is taking up all the space that the Twitter server has and has offered to provide access to his primary system and a free 20 terabytes for Twiter to expand. We received a letter from the system administrator at Twitter requesting that we do not let HAL communicate with their microprocessor in the future.
Something tells us that this is probably going to be worse than raising three teenage girls.

The next book to be released after Terrorist Number Two is ......
We received the proposed cover for the next release,..well actually it will be the SECOND release after INTERDICTION in the "DJ" Jacobs series. ( Terrorist Number Two ..due out in December 2011 is the series following the first INTERDICTION) It will be HAL-THE VIGILANTE UAV DRONE.
This is a story of a group of engineers that decide to place the industry's largest possible computer ---one with 6 Brontobytes of memory--on board one of the latest Unmanned Ariel Drone. The result is both interesting and comic....in some places. ( The unit wants to be called "Hal" after the computer in the movie Space Odyssey 2001") Hal starts doing its own missions and on the second one--unauthorized by command, it takes out an Afghan oil transport truck. When command transmits to the UAV "You just took out a friendly",..it responds with ....."OOPS. This one, I have found is as fun to write as it is to read. Computer wizards will take me apart for the terminology and process methods that I have the big computer programed for but,,..that's all part of fiction IMHO.
