Hi Psuke,
I'll be your MC. Give me a minute to set you up in the database, and then I'll be back to help you with filenames, tags, and server space...

Ok, I'm back! You're in the database, and I added filename and id3 tag info to your first post for your reference.

Here's an uploader for you to use to transfer your files to me:
http://upload.librivox.org/

U: librivox
P: librivox123

Let's see... I think this is your first solo, so I'll PM you a username and password so you can edit your "Magic Window" up there in the first post. There are only a few things you'll need to do. To enter the rest of your chapter titles, just click the "edit" link in the "title" column, type in the title, and hit your "enter" key to save the info.

As you upload your chapters, add the full link to the "Listen Link" column and check the "completed" box on the right side.

If you have any trouble at all, do yell for help :)

We'll try to find you a dedicated proof-listener, too. It's really encouraging to get fast feedback after every completed chapter!

I noticed that the Preface is pretty short. It doesn't seem worth putting it in its own file, so how about combining it with this first chapter, like this:

I haven't forgotten about this project, and I still very much want to read this book, so please don't give up on me - it's just taking rather longer than I had thought.

Right now I'm shooting for the end of December, since I do have a couple of long-ish chapters left on another project.

That's fine, thanks for posting! :)

Hey, since the last time you posted we have built a great new uploader.

http://upload.librivox.org/

Please use that one to store your files. Thanks!

Hey, Kara - I've recorded the preface and first chapter. How do you want me to name the mp3 file?

kayray · Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2007 5:15 am Post subject:

psmith_journalist_01_wodehouse.mp3 will be fine.

I'm moving and not around as much as I used to be, so please feel free to PM me if you need help and don't get a response right away :)

Wow - after an embarrassingly long hiatus, I'm back on the job. Chapter 11-13 have been posted. Chapter 11 is 12:40; Chapter 12 is 6:37; Chapter 13 is 10:06

Just realized that contrary to my own firm belief, chapter 10 has not been done. That will be completed tomorrow night.

Hey there Psuke, nice to see you again! Hmm... we need to find you a proof listener. I'll see if I can rustle someone up.
