Won't be too long before I have to start getting creative with storage, though, as I'm nearing the ten-meg cap on @home webspace accounts, as the alpha pages just keep getting looonger. Well, there's some news floating around that AT&T wants to unload its whole segment of the network onto whoever will take it, and the Excite@Home backend is in terminal financial straits, so I may have other things to worry about before I hit that cap. Just when the cablemodem service was finally pretty stable, too. Ah well...

Yet another thing to tweak next time I feel intrepid enough to delve into the messy/tacky vb code in my backend program. Anyway, there's a few more books to vote on, and quite a few new votes added to shift the heirarchy.

Though I must admit, while adding just one book takes a lot less time (ten minutes as opposed to five hours), it's somehow not as satisfying as adding a hundred. Oh well, it gives me some time to tweak the layout a bit to make it look better on Mozilla.

On the plus side, now that I have updated, I have finally completed the addition of all the books in my backlog. This update specifically includes over a hundred new books. In the total time since I started the backlog, I have added over three hundred fifty books and eighty-eight authors. The truly impressive aspect of this is that a large percentage of that amount was submitted by a single voracious reader. Anyway, I'm up to date now, so it's time, I expect, for someone else to pile me under for a while. It's all great, of course, the more books this archive holds, the better. I really should go back and see what the initial quantities in the two sites that combined into this one, the difference between that total and the current one is totally the accomplishment of all you wonderful readers who submit votes and book suggestions. It is truly impressive.
