I figure it’s time for an update on the progress of the CD….
I was hopeing to have the CD’s ready for shipping, but I am currently about 2-3 weeks behind schedule. The data normalization (process of taking the raw data from Wayne and cleaning it up) has taken a lot longer then expected, mainly due to the large amount of problems with the original data (duplicate messages/threads, misspelled tags, missing messages, ect.).
I am hoping to have most of the work done by Monday and a preview of the cd (basicly the CD with a small subset of messages) up on the site for downloading. I then want to have the CD tested a bit.
The mugs are in and they are very nice. If everyone follows through with there orders, then I will have about 50 mugs left order, so there are plenty left if you want one.
You will get two more emails, one when the preview is up, and one when the CD is ready for shipping.
If you want to modify your order then go to HTTP://www.winisp.net/a_field/badgerpond.html
Also, the cd will include ALL messages from htools and ptools as well as all images. I even made an attempt to copy down images from other peoples servers so that they will all be contained within the CD. Oh, and it will all fit and run off one CD.
