This morning I posted the updated Journal Entries engine to the Pendorwright site. It has a host of new features you've been asking for, including output in raw text, minimal HTML, and Palmdoc formats! Now that I know how it works, I'll be doing the same to the Aimee and Bloody Beth sites sometime in the next week.

Now the bad news: the cleanup has resulted in a few URL changes. The kind of thing that drives Google nuts, unfortunately, meaning it'll probably be a while before they get re-indexed properly. But the root URL is the same, and I've removed the splash page. It was way too old-school.

And, to make you all happier yet, I've scheduled a whole bunch of new stories to be posted over the next couple of months. But, to give you a head start, here are three (three!) new stories:

Connected Electricities is set on a cruddy little planet last seen in the Vengeance Angel stories, where Kaede & Eshi have landed, and has a slight seven-year-itch feel to it. The Forever Promise is set on the starship Conspiracy Theory, and is the "het" story of the batch. And finally A Place In History shows the afterlife of Duke Conta siss-talek and his existence in a transhuman (transllerkin, really) Hell.

Looks good, but I wish the story pages weren't forced so wide. I use 638 wide browser windows (two next to each other), so it doesn't fit - and there's no particular reason why it shouldn't.

I could go on about absolute pixel widths vs ems, etc. etc, but really I only care that it be able to fit in my browser. Some sort of more liquid layout would be much more usable for me and other users with narrow browsers.

For now, at least, I'll just use the minimal format pages.

Also, I don't know if this is your style or an LJ problem, but I get this error in the summary box when I try to view comments - and no comments are rendered:

Error running style: Died in S2::run_code running EntryPage::print(): Undefined subroutine &S2::Builtin::LJ::userlite_as_string called at (eval 253)[/home/lj/src/s2/S2.pm:232] line 1723.

Being a long time traveller player I'll miss the splash screen... Otherwise all your other changes are excellent :D

That minimal HTML is *sweet*, as is the text format. I also like how you've rendered the emphasis in the text, with asterisks.

I wouldn't mind HTML so much if it was all like that minimal version.

Thank you!!

BTW, some tags aren't balanced right in the minimal html. There's one too many close-div at the end, and one too many close-script at the start.

Also, on the minimal one, I do kind of wish there were no stylesheet at all; you've done an awesome job of making a stylesheet that's "almost like" no stylesheet at all, but a complete absence of one would be even better.

All of the above quibbles aside, the minimal one *does* look great on my browser, and also in lynx. Therefore, I'm happy. :-)

"You make it sound like the whole Shardik story is a kind of pornography. A fantasy of things we mere normal people, organic or machine, cannot have: true dedication."

"It is exactly that."


Bwahahahaha.

I think you once described the JE as 'domestic pornography'?

All html versions have this title:


The minimal html version has an unbalanced in the header.

It would be nice if the minimal version could be created without the stylesheet reference.

Other then that, very nice. After a few simple "replace in file" operations and running the files through tidy I'm left with a very nice minimal html version that can be used to create an ebook.

Looks really good.

I have decided it's time to reread them all again. This may take some time... :)
