I liked his book "Don Quixote" enough to name a sailboat "Rocinante". I was the only person who could remember the name......

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

There was a US TV Series named "The Expanse" on the SyFy (science fiction) channel.I liked his book "Don Quixote" enough to name a sailboat "Rocinante". I was the only person who could remember the name......
It was about three groups of political power in the solar system: Earth, Mars, and the Outer Planets (and asteroid belt).
The main setting of the series is a Martian gunship named Rocinante.

I know who the first 3 are, but who the heck is Chad Sexton. If he won an arguement with his wife, he should be fairly famous.
Maybe I was on 12 hour shifts at work when that happened. You would think something that important would be on national news.

For What It's Worth:
In Greek mythology, Rocinante is the name of the horse that Zeus rides. It was the name of Steinbeck's motor home in Travels With Charlie. It was also the name of Don Quixote's horse.
Plus from Rush:
I set a course just east of Lyra
And northwest of Pegasus
Flew into the light of Deneb
Sailed across the Milky Way
On my ship, the 'Rocinante'
Wheeling through the galaxies,
Headed for the heart of Cygnus
Headlong into mystery
(Rush© 1977)

That sounds like an interesting series. I don't have TV, but I do have a DVD player. I can get the entire series for a reasonable price. Thinking about ordering it to watch this winter when it is cold and dark more than it is warm and light.
