Well I quit my job to work a zillion hours a day for a couple of months to finish my dissertation. Then the committee decided it needed a major overhaul. (@#$% committee.) The result is several months more work lay ahead THEN maybe they'll agree I'm minimally competent. Meanwhile, there is no way I'm going to be able to sustain more than 6-8 hours a day on the dissertation project. This means: 1) The Encyclopedia isn't going anywhere untill after August 2002, and probably not until after December. 1a) It cannot use CGI. 1b) It cannot use a database. (I would like to use Postgres.) 1c) It can use PHP (PHP-3 I think) 2) I will have enough down time to give a hobby (the Encyclopedia) about 10 hours a week. [3) I would like to find a part-time job to replace #2.] --------------- If you have any technical improvements or style changes that you'd like to see please let me know. In particular I would like the opportunity to practice PhP. If you know of a HTML-4 to XHTML conversion program that would also be much appreciated. -- Trent Shipley mail:TShipley@u.arizona.edu http://www.u.arizona.edu/~tshipley
