If you're going to offer downloads, how about an open document format?

Can/will Createspace allow both ebook and paper?  With paper and Amazon who actually fulfills the orders?  Does Amazon do it, or do you have to handle the individual orders?

No.  It's now bloated up.  I have to write it down.  With luck I'll have two four-hour sessions today, if I don't spend more than about three on circuit layout.  (The MOSFET output works.  It does hit limits, but I can live with these.)

Working Border Collies can run 100 miles a day, subject to weather.  They need something to do.  I don't know if Shetland Border is a different breed.

I've just emailed you images for the angle-bracket bug, the summary-behind-image problem, and a cursor oddity that occurs using IE.  Using Chrome, the cursor flips between arrow, text bar, and finger very quickly as you move it through the region in question.

Please let me know if the email doesn't show up, or if you need more info.  I suspect that the two HTML-related problems may originate in the same area, but that's a guess from the outside.

Not on the mobile interface, unless I'm confused about which is 'home'.  Which might be.

Question for Sol: When you make something available on 'the internet', does the reader have to click on something acknowledging that the work's copyright is held by the author?  If not, might any work made visible in that way later have its copyright challenged?  Does the site put up any warning to the author?

Ah.  A little hard to find.  Still only 13 items per page, so if I'm away for a few days I have to click again and again.

But it's good to have it.  With  the forums I have to navigate to the group page where I see a list of forums, but not any indication of which have new messages.  I need another click and another wait to get to the forum.  It used to be one master page, which would tell me where I needed to look.  Now it's a click to a page that lists a few forums, but does not let me see or do anything useful with them.  (It might as well not be on that page.)  Then it's a second click and a second page load to get to that subset of forums.

When you're not in the same building as the servers, page loads sometimes take a while.  Sometimes they need to be retried.

Consider this a wish: a page one click away from home that shows you all your forums, with the ones with unread messages at the top.  The restcan be organized by group.

I think the fairest way would be remember-the-max, but I won't argue too loudly.  Remember, though, that some 'complexity' is unpredictability, which is why remembering and announcing the max would probably work well.

Now, a different question.  When I've done six inline review items, I'm told that  have now satisfied the requirements for the points payment.  I don't know if the number depends on the size of what I'm reviewing, or whether what I put in the 'final' box will count towards my minimum.  What if I want to call out two grammar oddities or one oddity and a hapex, and then bare my curmudeonly soul down below?  Can I still earn  review credit?

Yes, unless you're working in Fortran.  (Or did they fix that?  I haven't looked in eons, but it would seem to go against the spirit of the language.)

It makes more sense if you think of the floors of a building.  'First' floor is zero flights up.  In languages influenced by C, the subscript is the number of flights up.

Either an appreciation of machine instruction architecture or of mathematical half-open intervals will make this more comfortable.

Yeah, and I also realized that I ordered my Platinum Dragons in amber instead of yellow.  I've got to tweak the driver circuit; my driver and output stages are coming out of saturation with the bigger current draw.

Also found that Seiko has a better undervolt sensor than the one I've got.  I may be able to get my quiescent power draw back under budget, but it's a few more hours of tweaking.

And then I have to get back to the 3-way pigeon flasher, and the redesigned detector output.  And the physical design.  I just ordered the bottom tap I need, and I think I have at least one adhesive for the battery box.  (It works by pretreating the surfaces with heptane, which is one of the principle hydrocarbons in gasoline!)  Have to figure out where to put the status flashers.

Oh, the Pt Dragon is BRIGHT!

I still have to figure out how to associate things with this group.  And I have to put up (tiny) cover images to get that visual noise off the page.

And I need a pic.  I'm not going to throw up a snapshot, sorry.
