You are lucky, being only 2nd in line for the new Potter book. We were on a cruise to Alaska when it came out and I had to find a bookshop in Juneau (not a tourist one, either) that had the book for my son. He finished it within a week. Now it's my wife's turn and then mine. My son is being very tight-lipped ...

Ahhh, the mind of a programmer!
My current Blog at: www.lkessler.com/behold/behoblog.shtml only has 1 occurrence of "shower" in it,
but my pre-alpha Blog: www.lkessler.com/behold/behoblog2.shtml has eight!
A really good entry was my one from December 26, 2002.

Maybe you should have just kicked back, started to doze off and let your subconsious work out your Behold problems. I know that I've solved quite a few of my sticky programming problems in the shower, when I think I'm not thinking about programming. I guess that the brain is always working on stuff in the ...

Ha ha! Mother's Day would have been a snap compared to this weekend. It's hard to stay awake and work after you've eaten as much as we did.

Louis,I'm concerned about your commitment to this project. I don't understand how you could take off Mother's Day (if they have it the same day in Canada as the US) to celebrate with your family instead of slaving away at Behold. Wouldn't a couple of quick phone calls have kept everyone happy?Seriously, I've ...

I agree with you 100% re sources.One clarification: With Behold, you still won't enter the data by source. It will still be entered by person and by event into the Everything Report.But the difference (in my early concept) is that there will be a "current source" window always visible at the bottom of the ...

When you get down to what genealogy is all about, it is all about sources. If I'm at a brick wall, how do I know where the info for an ancestor came from if I don't document? How does someone else know where the information I give them comes from if I don't document? How do they know how accurate it is if I ...

Of course, my sample of GEDCOMs is not statistically random and is a bit biased towards older ones. But none-the-less, I would agree with your conclusion.To top this off, of the 17 GEDCOMs, 5 of them have very few sources, less than 1 source per 2 individuals. 6 of them are what I would call marginally ...

Only 17 of 54 GEDCOM's used the SOUR tag? So, with the advent of the internet and the ability to graft whole branches onto a family trr in a few seconds are people no longer documenting their sources? I find this low number of SOURced GEDCOMS both disheartening and not surprising from what I've seen in recent ...
