Yes you don't have a thing to worry about. If someone calls your thing TUSC ignore it keep going, most of the time it's probably just a joke that doesn't work well though the internet (loses the emotion that speach can give it).

Fastlane has a good point don't listen to people who put you down chances are they haven't created anything yet and don't realize how much work it is. Good luck!

I have calmed down after a good night sleep. I don't want to make this a thread about TUSC. It would be totally unrespectful of what red_army is working on.

Good point Dan Silverman, you have mega post and have seen a lot I am sure.

Anyhow, I hope you continue and finish this book red_army014. If you need help with anything, let me know.

Loco.

My advice has always been to NOT announce these types of things until you are fairly far into the project. Then you have a better chance of completing it and less chance of anyone claiming "vaporware".

I agree wholeheartedly with that. I did not announce RazorAI until I had a good base down in the development. Also, although I've had plenty of delays- I've made sure to keep people aware that a LOT of work is going into the project (I'm working 50+ hours a week now to get it done with everything else that is going on). Also, having a reputation as Dan mentioned does help. Many people trust that it is something I am capable of, and thus my topics have been void (so far) of TUSC.

Anyway, lets get a little more on-topic .

Good luck Dan, I'd be happy to help review the book for errors and give my input when you are starting to get close to finishing it.

Well I got back from my 2 week trip to florida, so now I can begin working on the book again. I've already finished 3 chapters for those who don't know, and have begun working on the fourth.

All is well...

Will the book be available for free? (Im a dutch noob)
And will it be available in PDF?

The book won't be free, however it will be cheap (scratch the $40 estimate, now I'm thinking it's about $25 [details on that much, much later ])

And upon several user requests, I will make a PDF version.

Just a little report:

I am working on the book every day now. I'm coming in at about 10 pages a day...

It's 47 pages long now, but I still have a long way to go.

EDIT: Umm.. now I have a sort of minor problem... I can't open the document...in any way...and it's only made for one program... I'm going to see if a simple reboot will do...

I still have a .PDF copy of it that I made earlier today though if something goes wrong.




EDIT 2:
*Phew* The reboot worked. All is well..

You have percked my interest in this and I hope it gets finished. With the book and CD you should have the pdf on the CD so people like me can have both. Load the pdf on the puter and have the book for reading where ever I am at. Again, keep working and forget everyone else.

Just think, the only person you have to please at the ned of the day is yourself.

I KNOW you must have more than one working copy...
I KNOW you must keep each days output in it's own folder...
I KNOW you keep a hardcopy of each weeks output...
I KNOW you burn a disc or floppy or CF card with each weeks output...
I KNOW you have a copy and backup copy of all of the above...
