Frustration on the Disks

I've staged four disks for the series I've mentioned for a long time. And suddenly the print-on-demand service I've been using decided it no longer wants to do Print-on-Demand html disks.

Poo.

I can set these up to download as .iso disk images for the geek, but what about the civilian working drunk? I can't afford to back runs of duplicated disks, then housing them and being a "business" of sales and fulfillment.

It's a shame because the disk means you can insert the disk, get 30-50 individual speaker files, in context, with a variety of supporting documents / movies, PDFs, text files, etc.

Sigh.  I will finish staging these disks and wait until some answer comes on how to get them out there.

Sometimes I have to wonder if I'm really wandering around the world with Asperberger's Syndrome and convinced things are important that no one else on the planet thinks is important. I fail in the basic diagnosis because I really do give a poop what other people think of the project - no so much of me. They know I'm nuts, so someone finding out I'm wacko is not a feared revelation.

But I think the idea has merit.

Oh well. Trudge, trudge, trudge.

The Disks

Anyone who has followed the Anonymous Review project for a while know that I have intended to issue some CDs - computer disks that open like a web page. The entire disk image will be downloaded from the Geek Page at Anonymous Review, and the first disk is available.


The first focused Geek Disk will be on Sponsorship, you can preview the new disk through a Geek Disk page. The disk includes 35 speakers on Sponsorship, 13 tools (text and PDF), and two special bookmarked PDF files with the first four sections of A RECOVERY READER, and a second bookmarked PDF with the Class section of A RECOVERY READER.

The intent for the Sponsorship disk is disk for Sponsors – or anyone seeking more background on Sponsorship – with
  • a) a free disk image download through Sponsor Magazine, 
  • b) a disk sold through our print-on-demand service (Lulu.com) which includes CD reproduction, and 
  • c) Direct sale through a "Buy it Now" page on eBay.  
Price is $9 and the disk is issued under a Creative Commons, Share Alike, No Alerations, Non Profit license, meaning you can copy the disks to give others, download the MP3s to your computer player, your MP3 Player, or to burn as CDs for friends.

For SPONSOR MAGAZINE #3

We are trasnscribing comments from Dr. Harry Tieboult, one of AA's greatest non-alcoholic supporters in the critical first two decades. The talk was given in Long Beach at the AA International and it is not the full text of the speech, just a significant section on the "Self-Healing Ego."
