I have uploaded new versions (in the same place) with the new content (fairies and Asgardians). It doesn’t have any new features except that.

It took longer than expected because at some point Dreamwidth changed where it stores user profile images, and this broke the script, and because I hadn’t properly committed a change last time so the mobi file I regenerated was broken (the uploaded one is good, but still over 50 MB so might be difficult to get onto your kindle, and still might use features some kindles don’t understand).

I am currently working on the file size issue. It seems to be going well but I could be mistaken about that, or it might be going well but not well enough.

Are the new ones (that I should put up for download on my site in place of the old) the, uh, left-hand ones of the exact same file name, or the right?

[DanielH]

Oops; I forgot to check the folder after I saw the upload had completed. I assumed they’d been replaced.

I’ve removed the old ones.

[Alicorn]

Uploaded.

I’m uploading new versions in the same location, in a subdirectory with today’s date. These versions have all the latest changes including the Nexus threads, the Spirit threads, and the headings in the ToC. Planned changes for shortly in the future include updated title handling so that the ToC of the ebook will match the online ToC, and the individual chapters will match the online chapter headings (noticeable in, for example, the haiku titles). At some point, preferably this month, I also hope to get this online in a runnable form so you don’t need to wait for me to get around to poking it in order to get a new version.

Thanks!

New versions uploading now.

From now on I’ll keep three versions in Drive, until I get it better automated somehow.

[Alicorn]

Wow, you're really staying on top of this.

[DanielH]

New versions uploading again. I haven’t been able to concentrate on actually automating the process yet, even though that should be relatively easy to do in theory.

When running the program (cloned from "https://github.com/dhouck/effulgence2epub/", with protobuf compiled and everything), at the "get_images" stage, it appears to get stuck on loading http://heritage.nv.gov/sites/default/fi ... cpal80.jpg. Do you have any idea if this is a recent issue? Is it only me? I can't find heritage.nv.gov under Google cache, so I'm not sure how long it might have been down for, and it appears to be down according to http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/heritage.nv.gov.

Also, and I know this would be a lot to ask if it's not already done - is there an incandescence version or epub available? Seeing as how it gets the images separately, and loads specific contents pages, it seems like it would require more than a quick patching of a couple of URLs, but I'm not exactly sure how much would be required, seeing as I have never messed around with any of the libraries you're using. I've done a bit of Python before, and I think I'm pretty good at getting the hang of programming languages in general, but I haven't really messed with other people's code much, nor ever done much on Linux (though I'm running a quick virtualbox) or anything with these libraries, so I'm not really sure how much it would involve.

Edit: Oh, there also seems to be a frequent comment of it missing headers and therefore not being able to get a timestamp (example). I'm using the default theme (see here), and that appears to have a timestamp at the top, so is it that I need a specific theme enabled, is that normal, or is it just being weird?
