Just checked this out and it is much nicer! How are you producing these pdfs? I'm using the very low tech method of "print screen" ;)

jenius, if I provide a VPS, would you be willing to set something up that fetches his spools, turns them into PDFs, and then uploads to that Scribd collection automatically? Or even lets you manually upload them? That would be fantastic.
- jenius 13y ago
  That would be sweet. I'm not sure if scribd has some sort of api, but I would happily set them to convert and drop them in a public folder, could be a lot easier
  - tekknolagi 13y ago
    That would be great. I can make Apache point at a blank folder for downloads. How can I reach you to send you credentials?
  - tekknolagi 13y ago
    Here, never mind. I set something up by myself. Here's the link to the folder: http://why.apps.hypeno.de/ http://why.apps.hypeno.de/ If that link doesn't work, then use http://why.attendance.hypeno.de http://why.attendance.hypeno.de or http://why.dev.brightswipe.com/ http://why.dev.brightswipe.com/

      ah nice work! the only issue here is the upside down ones, which i fear takes a bit of human touch... either way, when they are all done, i'll compile them all together into a pdf and post that so it's easy to read through. like a little book : )
      - tekknolagi 13y ago
        Ah, shucks. Right now I'm having some trouble tracking which ones have already been downloaded... so it re-downloads and re-compiles each time. Can I email you to help figure this out?

        The simplest solution would be to just add the filenames of the files that's been already downloaded to a file and it checks the file before downloading anything.

Sorry guys got way behind. Updating with all of the new ones now EDIT: Updated all the way to the most recent. This is crazy that it's still going...
- jenius 13y ago
  Friday morning: looks like the spree is over, I'm going to compile them all into a single pdf and post that as well. Will be up in a few minutes EDIT: nvm, someone else did already. no need to repeat!
