Fun Stuff

I threw together a dateless timeline if you are looking for perspective.

Just for fun I threw together a wordsearch for words with interesting meanings.

Here is the original sketch of the older propaganda style cover.

Here is the older original concept cover displayed on the site.

I dug up a screen shot of the site in Feb, 2006. It's changed a bit.

I glued all the chapter files together from the original unedited book and used a diff Thicker-Than-Blood-v0.01.tex v1.02-book1.tex | grep -e '>' | wc -l to compare it to the most modern source file without the header code. It looks like 43% of book has changed. The diff file was nearly twice the size of the book. That's quite a lot of editing.

The Process

I wrote up a HOWTO on how to use latex/SFFMS to format a full length novel.

There is a changelog for the book. I have accepted so many edits, I needed to keep track of them.
