working the document down to just the music posts produces 500 printer sized pages - which is about a 1000 page novel.

i've repeatedly been told i should write a book. journal format is maybe not what they meant, but there it is.

just the aleph-0 disc - which is all backposting - is 130 pages, which is a 250 page novel. the period two disc, which includes more recent documentation, is going to be about a 500-600 page novel.

so, that's why this front-end is taking so long. but, hey, look at it the other way - you get one of the aleph-discs and you get a free e-book, in doc and pdf formats.

by the time i get done period four, i'm going to have a hefty 4,000 page four volume autobiography....

that's fine. that's why i'm doing this.

i'm stopping to eat, but i need to be up overnight and i may actually get it done, after all. i just need to set up the last portion of that document in html format, and then run through it a final time with a fine comb.
