I’m almost completely recovered. The cough pops up a handful of times a day, but nothing major. It’s very nice to be back to normal. It’ll take another day or two before I can say I’m really back to health, though.

I’ve spent a few hours today working on the Project Gutenberg Software Site. We’ve decided that it will focus on e-text software in general rather than on programming specifically. PHP is very cool. I thought it would take a serious effort to get my forms to send mail through PHP, but it was insanely easy. And it worked perfectly the first time. I was very pleased with how well it worked. I think the site is getting close to completion (completion being the ability to go live).

Hmm, for some reason these last few days I’ve been rather tempted by Lisp, Perl, and assembly language. I don’t know why, but there it is. I went to the library on Saturday and got a book on PHP and MySQL and I think that’s the next thing I want to tackle. I may end up using MySQL for the Project Gutenberg Software Site (PGSS from now on) — it would make the search feature much easier to code. We’ll see.

I haven’t worked on Proofread at all for a long time. Right now I’m focusing on PGSS, typing in The Ball and the Cross (80-some pages left), and helping my family. I still have almost three months to work on Proofread, though.

Audacity is quite cool. I haven’t played around with it much, but I really like what I see. Very nice interface. I’ll probably use it more than Snd in the future.
