Jason Scott's Weblog
Among my various directories have been contributions sent to me by folks that I haven’t completely gone through as of yet. Generally, when something comes in from someone, I have scripts that let me integrate the new data into my archives. They find doubles, they let me describe what the files are, and then they […]
Date: Wed, 11 May 2005 11:50:35 -0700 To: ‘Jason Scott’ Subject: Scheduling delays … Hey Jason – Wanted to let you know that current capacity is causing delays for DVD production. Here’s the latest scheduling information that we have – looks like the replication of the discs is now scheduled to be complete tue/wed of […]
1,000 packing boxes arrived at my house today. This is what $800 worth of packing boxes looks like: It’s starting to dawn on me more than it did before just how much stuff I ordered to my home. I finally sat down and did the numbers… at least one room of my house is going […]
Some days, I feel like I should have never written anything about Wikipedia, positive or negative. Like many cults, it has extreme members or well-meaning folks who do not understand what they are part of, and who take me on personally and then fall back into the ranks should I respond poorly.

As was proven by Disc 3, submitting a dual-layer DVD instead of […]
I figure it’s worth it to describe each step along the way of this Podcast collecting thing, in case people are actually going to use this as a template for their own collecting, or for some other weird purpose like trying to discover my “secret sauce” for all this. When I’m not emotionally invested in […]
I have been informed that the final check disc (the remaining piece I need to sign off on before we see the duplication happen) will not arrive until Monday. Ow! This is the nature of things, where I end up in the queue of a big printer and the re-submission of things screwed up the […]

Well, it’s been a little while since I announced that I was setting off to archive all the podcasts. I figured I’d take some time to let you know how all that’s been going on.
