Administrivia: It's alive! Alive!

After about three-plus years of (apparently) lying fallow, I've posted an update to the WIST data.

Why so long?

Well, aside from having a day job and eleventy-dozen other projects going on, WIST as it presently stands takes the better part of a day to fully upload. That means I don't do it trivially. So I was waiting until I finished my next pass on the database, consisting of trying to source a lot more of the quotations. I've done a good job of that (and added a few besides), but had only gotten up to Robert E. Lee last check.

So I've not finished that sourcing, and there are some new quote authors I've not doubled back on for bio info, and I'm sure all sorts of other little glitches are in there. Consider it (as always) a work in progress, with recommendations or problems always welcome to be reported.

I really want to get this into an online database, for searching purposes as well as for ease of updating. Does anyone know of a good package that runs on Apache/MySQL that would do the trick?

At any rate, thanks for your patience and support.

About WIST

WIST is my collection of quotations I find meaningful, moving, amusing (intended or not), well-phrased, and/or to which I just say I "Wish I'd Said That." But just because I quote it here doesn't mean I actually agree with it. If you have any comments, corrections, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to
