I like my marware case. I forget the model. Its leather holder on the belt with a magnetic clasp. Looks nice, is quiet to open, and has holes so you can plug in the headphones while its safetly in the pouch.

Relatedly, does anyone have an iPod Touch case they love? Mine is all nekkid.

You might have a look at EBcases. I bought a flipfront case (with a magnetic clasp) for my Sony Clié way back when, and still really like it. The Clié gets a lot more use and abuse than my cellphone ever has, and is still going strong (and looking good)....

I wanted the TOC in a static web page as part of the project of putting the book on line. So I copied it an excel sheet, copied in back to a word document, and saved the word document as filtered html. That kept all the formatting except indentations, while keeping the page numbers right aligned. Then I pulled out the hard coded column widths from the html with quick search and replaces, tweaked the alignment in the page number column, and did a really sloppy html thing by hard coding spaces inside the first column to get indentations. I left blank columns to the right to plug in URLs. Not the most maintable method, but it gets what I want from MS table of contents to an HTML TOC in about a half an hours, so if I make more changes in the TOC than I want to hand mirror, I've a reasonable process for doing the conversion again. This is why people use content management systems where you can set it up one time and then send to Applications and HTML as you please. I suspect you could do what I want maintainably with Dreamweaver or Cold Fusion.

I'm not going get that elaborate. For all other chapters I'll just export them to unfiltered HTML, maybe running them through the clean program you folks recommened sometime ago. So on the site, people will have the entire book available as both Word and PDF, and individuals chapters as word, pdf, and html. The latter will be a bit sloppy, but you really don't want to read an entire book as HTML.

what a pain in the ass, TB.

I'm open to suggestions. Am I right in thinking that Dreamweaver and other things of that ilk can let you generate HMTL from Office applications, while allowing a lot more control over the output than Office's native export methods?

The answer to your question, TB, is "it depends." If you send me a file, I'll let you know. Profile addy is good.

anyone know how to _remove_ a thumbs up on stumbleupon? I hate the stumbletoolbar now - it's too easy to misclick (yeees. I am tired/dumb)

Hi Ginger. Got a "user unknown" bounce from your profile addy.

Damn. Now I have to track that down. I sent another e-mail to your profile addy.
