Does Twitter automatically update, or do I have to refresh?

I know the projectx page has to be refreshed for it's Twitter updates. Not sure about Twitter page itself. I'm getting the update via SMS immediately.

It's 2 hours.

On a related note Charlie Higson will be there on March 10th for an hour. His is called "Nothing to Fear? The Pains and Pleasures of Writing Horror".

One definition is: Unrestricted power to act at one's own discretion; unconditional authority.

It's a common saying.

My mind instantly went to Casino Royale. Perfect, I'd say, for the first book of a reboot Bond series. A total CR echo.

Elegant, classy title. Will surely have real meaning with regards to the plot too. Avoids the cliched Bond titles. Like!
