And It Was Fixed!

Okay, so it turns out that the aforementioned problem with Internet Explorer in testing the Python TWiki Conversion ended up being a server-side typo. Not to go into detail, but what’s very strange about this is that it only seemed to affect IE, while Opera and Netscape/Mozilla worked just fine.

But, the main part is that it’s working now…and things look good.

The Official Launch…

I was shooting for an official launch to happen on 1 July 2003 (yesterday). But, I knew that wouldn’t happen when I set the goal…and it was more of a goal to have a good chunk of the change complete prior to that date…which was the case.

My new goal for an official launch is either this Friday (4 July) or Saturday, depending upon what my schedule ends up looking like. Currently, there are approximately 96 files (or individual TWiki Pages, rather) of Python material at this point in time of the change. The Holy Grail Movie Script has been completely converted, and about 15-20 more skits have also been added.

In my collection of Python transcripts I found several years ago, I still have about 20-25 left to put online (I haven’t counted, but it’s in that neighborhood, plus/minus 10). These will be the first to get done, at which point in time I’ll probably focus on the other major Python movies (Life of Brian, Meaning of Life, etc.). I’ve found some transcripts of these movies, but they’re not overly complete. So this will definitely be a ‘back burner’ type of project.

Anyway, that’s about all for now!
