If you interview 1,000 software developers at random (which is probably about the number I have), you discover that maybe 100 of them are competent, and maybe 10 are actually great.
The 100 who are competent tend to know they're not great, and the 10 who are great often believe they're one of the 100, and the remaining 900 often believe they're one of the 10.
1989's Macintosh SE/30L is remembered as one of Apple's biggest flops. MacWorld criticised its rotated L display as "...bringing all of the issues and none of the benefits of a true L display", while MacWeek called it "Some kind of deranged P display nobody asked for".
I have cleaned up the #harlan_ellison directory. Now the list of story titles and the section of story titles match up. There are 360 titles in the directory as of today, including essays, short stories, screenplays, novels, and book introductions. This is somewhere between 21% and 33% of Harlan Ellison's total work.
The question I'm coming up against is: do I count the introductions Ellison wrote for each short story as a separate work? I would be inclined to say no, but in Dangerous Visions, the introductions are almost full essays in their own right.
If you're an Ellison fan, let me know what you think.
We're still rebuilding subscriptions (since Amazon abandoned them) and pushing back against the generated submissions on a daily basis. We'd like to keep doing so. The path forward requires us to keep shouting from the rooftops, so... https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/
Thank you!
@ahelwer I was just thinking you may find it easier to translate it into a markup language and then parse it into epub. That's what I do for my e-books, only the end result is HTML.
