Things are all formatted, uploaded, and ready to go. The paperback version of Home: the Savior of Civilization is now available on Amazon.

With this finally done, that means most of the work of this project is now done. Hopefully, it can just be a useful resource from now on.

All readings have now been formatted, uploaded, and scheduled. I have also updated the .epub version available on the Home: The Savior of Civilization page. The new epub includes some formatting fixes and a bunch of typo fixes.

The last thing to do is publish a physical book. Interior formatting for that is done. The last few tasks that need to be done shouldn’t take long.

I spent some time building a couple of tools to help me automate the generation and posting of new episodes. My process still requires quite a bit of hands-on review of the daily readings, but all in all, it saves a ton of time.

I have now generated and scheduled daily reading episodes through the end of September.

This project has been much more work than I thought it’d be. I hope somebody finds it useful.

• Scheduled episodes through the end of April.
• Generated episodes through the end of June.
• Been making minor corrections to the text as I have found them. Once I am though generating all episodes, I’ll put out a new version of the epub and start formatting for a physical book.

• January and February episodes are all scheduled.
• March’s episodes have been generated.
• I am currently editing the scanned text from late September.
• Added the easy subscribe button.
• Fixed some spacing weirdness and borders I didn’t like on the sidebar.

I have now scheduled the first week of the daily readings, starting on December 25th.

In my corrections from the OCRed scan of the book, I am now in the readings for June. The corrections aren’t that hard, but they are very time consuming, especially the poetry.

All of the daily readings for January have been made, and uploaded. I just need to schedule episodes for them.

I am designing a simple cover for the eventual print and ebook.

Okay, even though I don’t totally have everything ready to go, I’m just launching the website. I’ll build up all the little things around the site as I go. At some point I’ll get the first episode of the podcast up, with an eye toward really getting it rolling on Christmas Day, as that’s the day of the first reading in the book. I already have up some general information about what I am doing on the about page.
