Spending the evening bullying another author into fixing his damn web site so I can find the next book in his series.Yes, yes, pot kettle black.

@mwl "So, yes, I have this little perl script that will scrape a CSV listing of your books and convert it into book index page…"That book-index page was one of the best improvements you've made to your site…I use it about monthly when snagging book-title-links to send folks.

@gumnos thank you.see, the difference is I don't try to make my site good. It cannot be good. There are no people like me, so my site is a unicorn.But every month, I try to make it suck less. One can always achieve less suck.One day, it will suck so little I can serve it on gopher.

@mwl it is functional, it is readable, it has the information people want. It is good.It is not Web3.0 with AI integrations and CSS animations and 3d models spinning around and 30MB hero images with cookie-banners and email-list signup overlays and several STDs worth of malvertising. That might be *modern*, but that is not *good*.That said, gopher is a wonderful aspiration. 🥰
