Site updates (timeline, database, manuscripts, etc.)

Site updates

The Manuscripts page has been fixed.

The database query has been broken for a while, and the page was only listing 539 of the 624 available manuscripts. They are all there now. I'm still working on prepping the other 600+ manuscript images, and the database update.

This question is probably redundant, I always ask redundant things, but are you going to continue to update the timeline, adding in other 'periods' in Bukowskis life...i.e. when he done some boxing, and other vague half known things i.e. continue to fill in the blank years....

The timeline is great - really clear: strange to see his life layed out with such chronological simplicity. Good work...:)

mjp,
how far into the database are you now? I noticed that a few manuscripts make reference to "new" mag. entries, such as Cerberus and Sotto Voce, or were those already in the "old" database?

It is kind of strange to see it laid out like that, isn't it. His life seems very short, looking at it on that page. But I suppose anyone's would.

As for additional info going into the timeline, yes, that will certainly happen. Though I don't want to fill it with trivia or conjecture, but I'm sure there are important events left out that will be added as we go.

Anything in there now has been in there for some time. I can't remember exactly when I last made an entry, but it wasn't recently.
