2000-08-10

Now that there are separate "classics" and "all" lists, I'll probably add books a bit more freely, without worrying as much whether they are classics. That together with "acquire" may mean somewhat faster acquisitions in the future.

I struggled with (and even lost sleep over!) finding a balance between simplicity of use and enough different options in selecting what books you want to see. (I was thrilled when I finally figured out how to keep the number of options small enough that forms/javascript/php programs weren't needed.) I ended up with Classics (by author), All (by author), All (by title), and the other categories you see listed. Are there any additional categories that would be useful? Or some that could be dropped?

2000-08-07

Added the Christian Classics Ethereal Hymnary, a work in progress by Stephen Hutcheson. It contains hundreds of indexed hymns, midi files, sheet music, and Noteworthy Composer files.
Volunteer work on the digital facsimile edition of Whyte's Lord, Teach Us to Pray completed. This is the first book completed by volunteers using the digital facsimile system. It looks good! The last step, the check-over by an editor, has not been completed yet, though.

Revised version of Centuries of Meditations by Thomas Traherne.

2000-08-03

Added a mostly-completed digital facsimile edition of The Work of the Holy Spirit by Abraham Kuyper. Still needs proofreading.
Note: I will sometimes be making Microsoft Reader (and Open EBook) versions of books at the same time they are added. The process is almost automatic, but not entirely. To find it, open the Table of Contents and click on the "About this book" link. Look at the links near the bottom.

Still have nasty problems with linux crashing every few days.
Has anyone noticed that this fancy new ISO date format, 1999-08-01, is going to have a serious y10k problem?

1999-07-19

All files (hopefully) have been transferred from the Wheaton server
A new Search Engine has bee installed -- htdig -- and it seems much better than Excite had been. A little slow when there are lots of hits, perhaps.
Early crashing problems have been resolved and the server seems much more stable -- though I did have one crash when trying to index a CD-ROM with the htdig search engine.
FTP access should be working
Theoretically, accesses should be faster, with a faster server and a faster internet connection here at Calvin. Anyone notice a difference?

1999-07-02

I have moved to Calvin University in Grand Rapids, MI, and the CCEL has moved along with me. The new URL is ccel.org or www.ccel.org, though the old URL of ccel.wheaton.edu should continue to work. The server at Calvin University is being used, though no doubt it will take me some time to get the bugs all worked out. FTP access and searching are not working yet. 1999-05-19

1999-03-09

Added A Life for A Life and Other Addresses by Henry Drummond

3/1/99

Added a preliminary version of Calvin's Commentaries, complete. This edition needs further work and is subject to change. It is a result of the joint efforts of volunteers for the CCEL and the OnLine Bible project and the good folks at Ages Software. The files currently on line are HTML exported from Word 2000 and modified with a perl program to remove some of the ms-specific extensions to HTML. The files are large, averaging around 1MB and topping out at over 2MB. Skip Gaeda and Bruce Lambert are working on conversion to ThML and thence to OnLine Bible format. If you are interested in helping out, let me know.

2/19/99

Added The Art of Divine Contentment: An Exposition of Philippians 4:11, by Thomas Watson.

2/18/99

2/9/99

Added the two volumes of Edersheim's Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah. These are important works. However, they are only available as large text files and it appears they could use some proofreading. Contributed by PW; gleaned from a newsgroup.

Added The Ascent of Man
Added The New Evangelism and other Papers by Henry Drummond, transcribed by Phil Potter

1/21/99

Added a quick HTML version of Schaff's 8-volume History of the Christian Church, made by exporting the Electonic Bible Society RTF files as HTML in Word 2000. A better version is in the works -- but this one isn't bad.

1/20/99

Added one-file HTML editions of Andrew Murray's The Lord's Table and F. B. Meyer's The Secret of Guidance. These are exported in HTML format directly from Word 2000. Take a look at the HTML that Word 2000 generates -- it captures everything in the word file! I think I'll start archiving these HTML files rather than RTF files, since everything in the RTF file is in the HTML file.
I do plan to format these and other books in ThML, though, so we can make multiple file versions and have the other features offered by ThML.

1/15/99

Added to the more books list: Luther on the Eve of His Revolt by M. J. Lagrange, tr. W. S. Reilly

1/12/99

Please give me feedback on the HTML that has been generated, as the program that generates HTML is still under development.

Added an alternate version of Thomas a Kempis' The Imitation of Christ, edited in ThML for the CCEL
Added Luther's Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians, originally from Project Wittenberg, edited in ThML for the CCEL

11/3/98

Added RTF files of Schaff's History of the Christian Church, an 8-volume set, courtesy the Electronic Bible Society. These files need to be formatted in ThML for conversion to HTML, etc., which will be a big job.

Added Thomas Watson's A Divine Cordial, in html

10/13/98
