Sandbox has a home

  Go read  Sandbox  and stop whining about your life.
Click here to read  Sandbox now!

Welcome to my Sandbox.  I appreciate any of you that have gone to the mical.net/sandbox/ site to read Dennis Hooker's free book in PDF file format, and I'm sure he does too.  This morning, I got a bright idea.  Uh-oh, you say.  Well, this one might have worked out for the best for everyone.

When you want to read Sandbox, you can now go to deviantART.  I uploaded the four parts of his book that he graciously split it into there.  As soon as I hear back from Dennis, I'll turn over the keys to some accounts I had to create in order to accomplish this.  That is, if he feels like dealing with feedback about his book.  I no sooner finished uploading one of the 'lunchtime-downloadable-parts' of the four parts of Sandbox when other deviants started adding the files and the account to their watch list and favorites list.  So, that was pretty exhilirating.

Each part is a zipped PDF file and is only between 150 and 300 KBs, so you can snag and read each one as you have the time to do it.

I hope putting Sandbox there is a good thing.  Hopefully, it will give this personally empowering information some added exposure and solve some of the other issues Dennis and I had talked about.  Now, not only can people go to the Sandbox site and download it from a fast server, but it will keep track of alot of statistics, and has a nice feedback and commenting function built right in.

Stop whining about the relationships in your life.
Go now and start reading.

Hello Friend,

Wow! That's exciting. The library won't let me download the four books - probably because "deviant" is in the title - ??? I check that out. Yes, I'd love feedback. "Normal" people don't give feedback - so "abnormal" feedback is appreciated and greatly desired.

I really don't know how to navigate these sites yet and my half hour at the library doesn't give me much time to learn - but, slow and steady she goes.

Friend,

Dennis

Email me, Dennis. I'll send you the web addresses, user IDs and PWDs to interact with the Sandbox stuff.

It's all web-based, so you can do it from any computer. The library probably doesn't allow you to download to their system for security's sake (most likely) but the PDF files you sent me are inside those ZIPs for anyone to read. If that's a problem, I'll delete those 4 and see about just uploading the just PDFs alone to dA.
