excellent! thanks! -bowerbird

another interesting topic that floats by on hackernews, with no upvotes (except mine) and no comments (except mine). does anybody have any suggestions for a smarter site? -bowerbir…

i've developed a system. should be out "real soon now". but if you want something that's been out for a while, and has been shaken down pretty well, try leanpub.com. there's also p…

ya know, i've see you pointing to this before. and i should have realized then how cool it is. but it only occurred to me now. good job, dude! i will be in touch with you. -bowerbi…

perhaps you meant penflip's loren, not the original poster? if so, then yes, what i'm saying exactly is that _loren_ could have saved himself time and trouble, in the long run, by …

i wasn't saying this person should've built a new system. indeed, what i said is, if you already know git/hub, use it, as you can sidestep its problem areas, to get what you need. …

don't know why you're getting no discussion here. couple typos: "the the" and "this is can". -bowerbird

um... leanpub.com has been around for several years now. and they only introduced the github integration this month. so you can't really say that is "_exactly_ what it's about." or…

if you already know git (or github), it'll work for books. but i doubt it's the best change-tracking system for them. too much irrelevant crap, and it doesn't cut to the heart of t…

hi. bowerbird here, checking in with you two. i haven't forgotten you, just been working on smoothing out the latest wrinkle in my thinking, which i do believe has made a huge impr…

on the other hand, i know photographers in art/advertising -- working for some of the biggest companies, like apple -- who brag that "not one pixel goes out without being touched".…

loved this program when i was working with book-scans! it saved me _so_ much time and hassle! my best wishes! -bowerbird

not what i thought it would be. -bowerbird

markdown was _released_ 10 years ago, that's true. but it's not entirely accurate to say it was "invented". let me be more clear: markdown was _not_ "invented". gruber was blogging…

i think most people will tell you that it _is_ easier. first, it's one character, as opposed to three or four. and, as you get into longer tags, like "em" or "strong", so grows the…

-3 on that one. i forget this is the tech hangout for the wanna-be-rich. so now i'm sitting here trying to decide whether i can come up with something that will make you all unders…

it's 100% accurate, and a dead-on description of the truth. because the truth is that effort failed to produce anything. i'm very sorry that it bothers you. but it is _the_truth._ …

even 0.1% overstates the real number of the ruling class. google tells me there are some 1600+ billionaires today. those are the guys (and a few girls) who are really dirty. you ca…

ok, that didn't take long. can't open your .epub file. it doesn't validate, and i wonder if anyone can open it. so that's a major problem that you will need to solve... unzipped it…

got 'em, and will take a look at them, and e-mail feedback. -bowerbird

wow! minus-4 on that post! hey, _i_ wasn't responsible for the fact that atwood's call resulted in _nothing_happening._ i was one of the people who hoped that it would! but the har…
