I spent an hour or so working on the Project Gutenberg Software Site this morning. It’ll go live within a few days. The Faq-O-Matic is really cool. I’m tempted to go on a marathon typing run and try to finish The Ball and the Cross today.

The New General Catalog of Old Books & Authors is quite cool. I really like how it lists the dates of the works in chronological order, so you can see which books are pre-1923 (necessary for Project Gutenberg copyright clearance). It even shows which are already on PG.

I spent two hours typing in The Ball and the Cross and finally finished it. I also proofed it and will submit it to Project Gutenberg shortly.

I’ve decided that I’m going to use two spaces between sentences in the Ball etext instead of one (why on earth I only used one is a very good question and I haven’t a clue as to the answer). So I’ll need to do about three hours of reformatting before I can submit it. Oh well.
