I broke that when I upgraded my system, and haven't put it back in yet.<br /><br />2) Nothing fancy, just toss in some multi-name searches ("John Dewey", "William James").<br /><br />3) Yes, but you may have to remind me later.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04856020368342677253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8929346053949579231.post-23416577178354447842011-02-19T15:38:59.753-05:002011-02-19T15:38:59.753-05:00Ben: Finally getting around to reading this, and I...Ben: Finally getting around to reading this, and I'm loving it of course. I have a few thoughts: <br /><br />(1) Would you elaborate, for a few lines (in the comments, or in a new post) on what you mean by: "I really have to build my connections to the text back in"? Thanks, since this seems crucial.<br /><br />(2) Could you also elaborate on how you're going to get Melvil out of there (if you can, somehow), and how you can add James and Hall in without noise? I just want a demi-technical explanation..<br /><br />(3) Request: would you do method or "scientific method" across the three genre classes you close with? This is for me, to be sure, but maybe it'll produce an interesting result...<br /><br />Thanks! More soon..Hankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841787256060612291noreply@blogger.com
