I thought about you when I saw this new post a few hours ago:

This is what I did last night. I still try to get usage estimate.

BTW, I was thinking... it ought not be hard to make category pages linking to the articles, which are already in Gemini anyway.

Thanks!

I've just run and tested the script. Saves me some of the hassle looking up the command in an ssh session (as I've done; hitherto).

schestowitz__

I'm going to use the icon in the top menu and a new page for Gemini in the site. As for desktop icon, I have an iconless desktop. It can lead to accidents having anything other than wallpapers on the desktop. :-)

oops. some from 2021-02-20 were folded into 2021-02-19

2010 took a long time to collect, had to leave the collector running for many hours

Techrights-sec

2010 is over 50% larger, by count, than 2011

Techrights-sec

2010 is now indexed

2010 was a busy year, after that I worked hard for income etc.

it only affects the Other category

I am off work until next Sat (morning). When the gemini mirror is complete I will make a complete backup of the RaspiSoft, then consider attaching magnetic external storage to cushion future expansion. :-) I'd need to check how to set apart backups on that drive from pi stuff as lots of personal stuff is in those backups and I don't trust the RaspiSoft with that... using old and smaller drives is risky as they're not reliable due

to age and I don't want to do many backups of backups

Feb 20 13:30

Techrights-sec

Ok. I've been keeping tarballs of the articles in ~gemini

Techrights-sec

HOwever, 2009 is taking a long time to download. You were posting quite a lot

Techrights-sec

back then. So it might be Monday before the mirror is complete.

Techrights-sec

... if I keep going at this rate.

Techrights-sec

It's running in the background all day and at July now. Probably done in about

Techrights-sec

four or five more hours.

Techrights-sec

Then 2008 - 2006 remain.

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | From footnote to endnote to what note? - The IPKat

schestowitz__

schestowitz__

I used to make much use of brief footnotes when writing articles for CIPA and the EPI journal. They can help to maintain the flow of the narrative. Longer items of text would be presented either as appendices (corresponding to chapter endnotes in a book) or else appear in a box within the body of the text.

schestowitz__

Replies to official letters during examination do not normally lend themselves to footnotes, but I normally used to use appendices when addressing matters such as correction of obvious errors in drawings. This meant that a fully detailed reasoning for allowing the request to correct could be presented as a self-contained document without making the letter itself overlong. The requests to correct often included annotated drawings

schestowitz__

and highly detailed argumentation as to why, for example, the person skilled in the art would immediately realise that such and such a diode had been drawn the wrong way round and that reversing it was the only possible way to make the circuit operate as described in the description. I felt this type of presentation would assist the examiner by breaking what would otherwise have been a lengthy letter into more readily-digestable

schestowitz__

self-contained chunks. It usually achieved a sucessful outcome.

Techrights-sec

I'm adjusting colors in the Amfora client,

Techrights-sec

hdg_1 = "#40ff40"

Techrights-sec

hdg_2 = "#80ff80"

Techrights-sec

hdg_3 = "#c0ffc0"

Techrights-sec

amfora_link = "#0080ff"

Techrights-sec

foreign_link = "#a0d0ff"

Techrights-sec

those seem to work better for me

Techrights-sec

left_margin = 0.05

Techrights-sec

reducing the left margin helps too

schestowitz__

I did a quick and rough explanation of gemini earlier; when I become very good at amfora maybe we'll do some in-depth howtos for it

I'll harvest < = 2008 twice as fast and not rate limit as much

ok 2009 is now indexed

I'll go much faster with the rate limiting for 2008, but after a while
