It's good news this time!
Yes it's true
I have started on edition 4 of the Dirk Maggs Chronology as a said in an earlier blog post here, I have stopped work on edition three after it got stuck in edit hell, and have decided on edition four that the thing to do is to work on the content and worry about the indexes later if at all, yes I know that make the book a lot harder to use but, if I don't do that then I would never get another edition of the book completed.
As like the other editions of the book it will not be for sale but it will be printed, so that it acts as a reference of what the website was like in 2009.
I must admit that I am if anything looking forward to doing the edition of the book as there is a lot of new material and also lots of revising old material to do. If I am also lucky I think that I will also add some new spelling mistakes and also remove some.

Maggs Book
As you may or may not know I have a website, that is on a well known radio director called Dirk Maggs. In fact at this time it is the only website on a radio director and has been for the last 5 years!
The website has over time just got bigger, as Dirk creates new shows or I find out about old shows that he has done.
I have decided as the website is a living thing in that it only exsits as loads of electrons that I would produce a book of the website.
This I have done edition one of the the book was done last year, and had some 300 odd pages, edition two was produced late last year with no pictures in it as there are copyright problems and also cos it did not always print correctly.
So this years project is to do edition 3 of the book.
There are no plans to make the book avaiable to the public as I think I break lots of copyright rules, but there is nothing to stop me producing it for myself and maybe give a copy to Dirk.
So progress so far has been that I have found a templete for the book and have taken a copy of all of the website pages that would and do make sense to have in the printed format.
I have managed to layout the book so that each year is a chapter, then within each chapter each production from that year is then listed.
The first draft of the year 1988 has been done and it runs to 10 A4 pages!
