@cstross ah, ok that makes more sense and sounds much less junkety

@pndc RPG rule books on paper aren't light and the pile I have to sign probably weighs more than I do. It's cheaper to ship me around—and besides, they've got a warehouse and mail order fulfillment facilities there. Whereas I do not (and I'm up four flights of steps from ground level on a no-stopping main road.)

The "signing tour" is a one-stop trip to a rainy industrial estate outside Dublin to sign the RPG rule books people paid for as part of a kickstarter! (They'll be mailed out in due course.)
It's a trip away from home organized by a publisher and I'm signing books for customers, so in my headcanon it's a signing tour.
(Why are you looking at me funny?)
@cstross one of those is for me, so it'll be posted to Scotland afterwards.

@freiksenet I got a few of them circa 2008-2014, but nothing recently. (Laundry Files and Merchant Princes didn't need them by that point; also publisher marketing spend per author dropped significantly.) They still happen but they're expensive so they're only really a thing for guaranteed bestsellers.
Also, I'm not visiting the USA under MAGA rule. And nowhere else has the potential sales to justify one.

@nina_kali_nina I have this ongoing fantasy that one day I'll start like "Old Crone Tech" and consult for companies that have software or hardware from ye olden times and help them move it.
Decompiling old programs, extending dosbox/etc to deal with weird peripherals, write modern drivers for old peripherals, things like that.
You'd think that there's a market for that kind of thing? But how would you even start...

@nina_kali_nina We have some maybe-suitable roles open ATM - https://wikimediafoundation.org/jobs/#section-8
As a non-profit, it's not the same $$$ as places like Meta, but we do worthwhile work.
[if you have questions about WMF as a place to work, happy to (try and) answer them :) ]

@hp ikr... Maybe I should consider creating such a market
