Folks,
To coincide with the imminent (I promise!) release of
this new book, I have changed domain names from
www.dfanning.com to www.idlcoyote.com. Some of you
(probably not the ones who didn't know what "FSC_"
stood for) may have noticed, as there has been some
redirection going on for a week or so.
The final move should be today. (It may have already
happened.) This shouldn't affect anyone, as the
redirect should happen automatically and should be
painless. (Have you heard this story before?) But,
I would encourage you, if you have the time, to fix
your links, etc.
There are some updates to the web site planned.
Nothing major, and mostly having to do with an updated
shopping cart for the store, which has been a nightmare
of its own that I won't go into. In any case, it is not
ready yet, but the old store is still working, I believe.
I guess we are about to find out. :-)
One of the things I could use, if someone wanted to
volunteer some Perl programming time, is a script that
would rip through my *.html files and change all instances
of "dfanning.com" to "idlcoyote.com". I guess I could
figure this out myself, but it is pretty far down on my
list and I though someone here might like to feel
*extremely* appreciated!
Cheers,
David

Yes, I have very big plans, and a nearly worthless staff
of programmers. We are working down our list, which
currently reads "book, BOOK, **BOOK**"
Index is finished, and I'm doing final bad page breaks now.
Today may be the day!
Cheers,
David

Hi David
if you wish later to convert your html to moinmoin wiki markup I
probably can help with that.
If you yet want to change the url only then an editor with regex
capability and able to open all files at once should be able to do it too.
I never tried idl's regex, but may be it can be used for something like
this too

Yes, maybe in the next life. :-)

P.S. If I'm not mistaken, I started this web page WAY
before there *was* such a thing as a "content management
package". A good pair of lopping shears is probably what
I really need. ;-)

I am sure this is an unpopular suggestion, but perhaps you could look into
using a content management package, rather than (apparently) direct HTML.
It could potentially save a lot of effort in the future.
and, you could consider changing any absolute 'dfanning.com' reference to
the appropriate relative path, in case idlcoyote.com ever changes.
cheers,
bob
