Tools_v5.3
Alf has updated the tools again. There are also some new blog posts.
I'm not permitted to give a link, but googling for Apprentice Alf's Blog should turn it up pretty quickly. Improvements seem to be mainly for Kindle and especially the Topaz format. Oh - and for Linux users. Last edited by pdurrant; 09-12-2012 at 03:33 AM. |

Except for announcements here, how can you keep up to date with the good Apprentice without regular visits to the blog?

By making regular visits to the blog . That is the only way, to the best of my knowledge.

Subscribing to the RSS feed will alert you to new posts, if you use a newsreader, and comments on new posts. I don't think it works for edited posts, where the tools sometimes appear.

Are they still needlessly broken for linux?
I looked into them a year or two ago and they did not work. I found a script that essentially went like this: Code:
if (evil_spawn_of_microsoft) { do_this() } else if (evil_spawn_of_apple) {do_that() } |

Warning to users: there has been a name change so you should remove the previous version before loading the new version. And yes, save your customizations.

I don't see anything about a name change, or requirement to remove the previous equipment. Could you let me know more, please, by private message if you can't do it on the forum?

Moderator Notice The discussion here is getting close to explicit instructions. Please take any specific questions elsewhere I see that Alf has just updated to 5.3, to fix a problem with the new edition of Kindle for Mac, and to fix a problem with using the Kindle plugin under Linux. As for keeping up-to-date, as well as an RSS subscription to posts (not a lot of use, since new posts are few and far between) there's an RSS subscription for comments. Just ignore any that aren't from Apprentice Alf. |
