Scan, Scan, Ahh-choooooo, Scan

I just finished cataloging my personal library. At least I’ve finished the bar code scanning portion of the festivities. Putting the library back together again may be a task best left to all the kings horses and all the kings men. Books have been stacked and flung here and there with wild abandon. And the dust … let me tell you about the dust.

It’s everywhere. There’s no escaping it. It hangs in the air like a smoky jazz club. An industrious group of mites had set up a little ski resort. Really quite the site to see the little guys shredding through the top 100 inches of pristine packed powder down the north face of Great Expectations.

I think I may have even discovered the fossilized remains of some prehistoric dinosaur preserved in the strata about half way down to the shelf. To be fair, it might also have been an old noodle of some kind.

My clothes are filthy. When I move around a cloud follows me like an actual, honest to goodness, real life version of pigpen. My hands are black. My lungs are black. My heart is black too, but that’s another story entirely having to do with a meeting in the forest and an ill advised bargain for power. In retrospect, I probably didn’t make a very good deal. I mean it’s cool and all that I always know when some channel somewhere is showing an episode of WKRP in Cincinnati, but really over time the luster of the show has worn thin. Hey, at least I’m not the goat right?

Anyway, the HTML export features of Readerware isn’t very flexible and I’ll need to spend some time tweaking it. What I really need is a server that runs PHP and MySQL - plus the skills to actually use that. I’m sure I’ll be updating this, but in the mean time, here is a quick and dirty output.
