"powers that be" have ignored don for as many years as they've ignored me, but since he hasn't pissed them off to the point of _banning_ him, he's still able to fight the good fight against d.p. stupidity. he continues: > We've got to start planning and managing our work better. > We've learned so much in the years of our existence; > we've learned how much we don't know, but could find out > and use for feedback; and it's in our own interest > to get smarter about how we do our work. good luck, mr. kretz... -bowerbird

help with the DVD
by Aaron Cannon 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

Hi all. I'm working on the DVD again, and I could use some help. I'm going through the list of books on the Best of CD and finding the HTML versions (when they exist) of each of them in the catalog. Unfortunately, the list of books on the CD don't come with Ebook numbers, nor do their titles match the catalog, so this can't be automated easily. So, I have to look at each title and author and manually look it up in the catalog, and then get the name of the zipped HTML version from that. It's a time consuming process, and it would sure go a lot faster if I had even one more person to help out. If anyone is interested in lending a hand, or would like more info, please let me know. Also, if I missed something, and there is in fact a way to automate this, please share. Thanks. Aaron
