happy martin luther king jr. day! i am again being amused by stuff over at distributed proofreaders... you might remember that in the past, i reviewed a lot of work by roger frank. even though he was doing some of the most advanced work over there at d.p., he was still wasting lots and lots of time being donated by the volunteers there, and i pointed out this truth with evidence. roger took all kinds of offense, and ended up calling me all kinds of names before storming out of here without engaging in any discussion. and that's sad, because he coulda learned a lot... as it is, though, he's teaching himself, slowly and surely, and will eventually -- after a long time -- find himself in the positions i advocated all along. it's just that he could have advanced himself to that point a whole lot faster if he would've listened to me. but, you know, everybody chooses their own pathway... anyway, roger's newest project is a test of a "roundless" system for digitizing books. you can see discussion here:
