Probably a little bit of both.<\/p>\n<p>I found and fixed a couple of bugs in &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelogbook.com\/logbook\/wp-video\/\">Doctor Who in 35 minutes<\/a>&#8220;, as well as chopping it up into segments about 3 to 3 1\/2 minutes long to cut back on the insane load times.  This also had a beneficial side-effect of sharply increasing resolution &#8211; now you can tell which clips I sourced from crap-o-licious 20+ year old VHS tapes recorded off of AETN and OETA when I was in high school!  Yay!  \ud83d\ude06  <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of video projects, I think I may have mentioned redoing the PDF DVD ordering page as an old fashioned hand-coded HTML page &#8211; basically in theLogBook&#8217;s old, pre-Wordpress look &#8211; so that orders wouldn&#8217;t be tripped up by Globat&#8217;s endless database server errors.  Lo and behold, I&#8217;ve had more orders in the past 24 hours than I have just about the entire rest of the month.  Can&#8217;t ditch Globat soon enough.  Incidentally, we&#8217;re now coming down the home stretch of the second edition &#8211; and that means there are about a hundred of these puppies floating around out there.  Guess it&#8217;s not over yet after all.  The proceeds from this round of DVD sales will go toward getting us moved to a hosting company that can actually keep a site up.
