Re: Dan's Books
Thanks, Scott, for the kind words. There are times -- and this weekend promises to be one of them -- when unsolicited testimonials make a lot of what goes into writing these things so worthwhile that I forget for a while my significant hair-loss as a result of trying to explain how to do something obtuse.

RE: Dan's books -- where can I get chapters 13 - 20, 22-24, etc ?
Hi Dan, Thanks for the clarification. Please do exagerate any sense of demand. I look forward to other chapters. -- Harvey -- -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Shafer Sent: Friday, August 26, 2005 10:32 AM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Re: Dan's books -- where can I get chapters 13 - 20, 22-24, etc ? The chapter numbering is an artifact of the old publishing model, Harvey. I am not planning to release full volumes 2 & 3, but rather individual topic discussions like the two you downloaded. The chapter numbers on those will go away at some point; I kept them this way for now to avoid more confusion than I was already causing! The printing SmartEBook is in final editing now and should be released "Real Soon Now" (ancient software term meaning "when the programmer finally releases the damn stuff"). More will follow every 1-3 weeks thereafter as long as demand keeps up and I don't run out of topics.

More will follow every 1-3 weeks thereafter as long as demand keeps up and I don't run out of topics. Back when I was coursing engineering in the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, I was a junior worker at a lab. There we used terms like that to the point of making stamps to use on paper forms. It was an experimental robotics lab, meaning, we broke computers like elephants in a china shop. Everytime something exploded we needed to fill a paper form with two main fields, one was labeled: "Problem:" meaning why the hell the thing was not functioning, the second "Solution:" meaning, if the thing was not destroyed and we managed to get it back working, how we solved the problem. We had two stamps made for this, one was: OGK (Only God Knows...), when every thing failed we stamped this on the problem field. If the thing came back aline we had a stamp: "IFI" (It Fixed Itself) meaning we had not the slightest clue on why the thing was working again... fun times... I still remember the teacher putting on my schedule for a day "Andre, please water the binary tree...", he would play those tricks on the rookies, like "All you hookies, grab this plastic bags, go to the wall on the second floor, you all know that the particle accelerator passes thru it, we need some free electrons for our new experiements, your job is to put this bags next to the wall till they fill up with the free electrons that misses the turn on the second corridor, then bring it back..." I miss it sometimes... cheers andre ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
