Bugs - Extra installments - posted last year
I'm currently making my way through Moby Dick, and have it set up to email me extra-long installments every morning Monday-Friday at 5am. Twice today (which is a Saturday), though, I've received installments, at 4:33pm and 8:27pm.Is there a known problem along these lines, or should I be worried about somebody somehow "hacking" my Dailylit account or something?
Ideas - Community help in adding books - posted last year
What's the actual technical process behind adding a book? More to the point, is there any way to open it up so that us mere users can add books? From what I've seen, it's got to be a manual process (breaks between installments are too nicely timed for a computer script to guess where to put them), which means it's got to be time-consuming for you.Obviously there'd have to be a lot of peer review involved to make sure that the books are public domain (or creative commons etc), and that installments are the appropriate length (seems to be ~750 words, no?), etc.
But I think it could be done. There are thousands and thousands of texts from Gutenberg alone, and it would be great to make them available instead of burdening you with the work...
Book Requests - More D'artagnan please! - posted last year
You have three of Dumas' best-known books, including two of the "D'artagnan" books. Actually, though, "The Three Musketeers" is the first of these books, and "The Man In The Iron Mask" is the last part of the third book.In Gutenberg, the sequence is "The Three Musketeers" (etext #1257), "Twenty Years After"(1259), "The Vicomte de Bragelonne" (2609), "Ten Years Later" (2681), "Louise de la Valliere" (2710) and finally "The Man in the Iron Mask" (2759).
You obviously already provide the first and last of these; I'd like to request all the stuff in the middle.
Thank you!
