Here's something fun to try: some of you have already heard about our custom "build a CD/DVD" program. This was developed primarily by Craig Stephenson, a student and ARSC employee where I work (the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks). It lets you make your own custom collection of Project Gutenberg content, and build an ISO file (suitable for burning a CD or DVD) for download. This week, through Thursday afternoon at 4:00 pm (PST), you can try this CD/DVD maker on a much faster system & network than I'm able to offer at the regular site. Visit this URL to try it: http://a163.112.sc05.org/pgiso This is basically the same software as is at the regular place, http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu/pgiso But, it's on a much faster network, called "SciNet," the network at the annual Supercomputing conference (http://sc05.supercomputing.org). For these next few days, I'm running some experiments at the Supercomputing conference in the ARSC booth (#112), including this ISO maker. Please note that this is a temporary installation, so any ISOs or collections you make will not be incorporated back into the "main" site on snowy.arsc.alaska.edu. In other words, anything you make will need to be downloaded by 4:00 pm PST Thursday November 17. Feedback, as always, is welcome. -- Greg
