IF... oh, somebody stop me...

[miriam_e]

I have now assembled an index of all the issues of IF science fiction magazine too. This time I wrote a quick and dirty python program to do the hard work. I think I'm in love. Of all the computer languages I've played around with python has to be the easiest. The only other language that even comes close is ARexx, but python is way easier than that.

Anyway... I've uploaded the index of IF magazine.

Gosh. I'd forgotten what a cool magazine that was, and how many hours of fun I had reading it.

I used to love Analog

I think I have a few boxes of them from the 70's somewhere.

Me too. I still have a lot of them, including a heap of issues of Astounding, before it became Analog. I should make an index of those too...

Watch this space... :)

(By the way, if you ever decide to get rid of them, I'll take them off your hands and give them a good home.)

I'm a Packrat

I tend to save everything.

Did you ever see the attic in the house I'm building?

Just been looking at your piccies. Cool!
Wish I had my own house. You are sooooo lucky.
And yep, I'm a packrat too. It makes moving house a real pain. Last time I moved I hired a fairly large truck and three-quarters of it was books. Aaaargh!
I have a couple of thousand paper books. I have about 3,000 electronic books and I can carry them in my pocket. I want to eventually get rid of most of my paper books.
