On Library matters:
General discussion:
An explanation of the
Release Numbers of the books in the Library
Some discussion of technical issues:
The Dunyazad Plain Text Format (including a tool to convert plain text to htm, which in turn can be converted to epub or mobi)
Just in case you are interested:
Books that will not be in the public domain, and therefore not in the Dunyazad Library, for a long time to come …
Regrettably, download statistics are currently not available.
Something different:
The Librarian’s short, incomplete and non-authoritative essay on the
History of Writing
In case you’re interested in Richard Wagner’s Ring of the Nibelung (the greatest work of art ever created by a single person),
but don’t want to sit through 16 hours of opera (though, you should), here is my short
The Ring of the Nibelung synopsis, in PDF format (15 pages)
Something personal:
The Librarian’s mostly dormant Twitter account: twitter.com/robert_ddl
And please:
Leave a note in the Guestbook!
Some resources of free literature on the web:
Project Gutenberg: www.gutenberg.org
Project Gutenberg Australia: gutenberg.net.au
Wikisource: wikisource.org
The Online Books Page: onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu
LibriVox (human-read audio books): librivox.org
(On these sites you’ll also find most of the books that are in this library, but, of course, not the same editions.)
Other interesting places to visit:
Software:
This part of the website has nothing to do with the Library – these pages about Windows command line tools originally belonged to my former and now defunct IT services website, and I have given them here a new home.
Here you find some links and information concerning the Windows command line, and a few tools that I've written, including the RPN calculator Hypatia.
Hypatia, and Windows Command Line Tools
