Dropbox Raising Massive Round at a $5B-Plus Valuation | TechCrunch.
“A billion is the new million” — great comment! Too true.
Dropbox is a great service (even with their TOC caveats), but $5B-plus??? That’s nuts!

July 13th, 2011 by John No comments »Recently, the University of Toronto’s Dictionary of Old English (DOE) project recently posted a new video advertising the need for a comprehensive dictionary of the earliest English language: YouTube – DictionaryOldEnglish’s Channel. Slick and concise, the video does a good job appealing to a more visual audience. Let’s hope that some of them pick up Old English! 
BTW, I still have my original microfiche fascicles of the first few letters. Good stuff!
OT/NT Refs: Source code now available on GitHub
July 9th, 2011 by John No comments »If you’re interested in seeing the code for the OT/NT Ref graph, I’ve posted it to GitHub: balinjdl/OT-NT-Reference-Map – GitHub. All source files are there, along with a README, LICENSE, and sample graphics. I’ll continue posting about the development here, but code changes will only be updated on GitHub. Enjoy!

Completed
- Added layers (Quotations, Allusions, and Possible Allusions are all on separate layers, independently controllable (see below), as are the book arcs);
- Added panning (click-and-drag to move);
- Added keyboard event handler (to toggle visibility of layers (“q”/”a”/”p” for 3 link layers, “b” for book arcs, “c” to recenter view*, and “r” to reset view to initial state*);
- Added zoom (“+” and “-” to zoom in and out, respectively)
ToDo
In priority order:
Add book labels- Fix intermediate point calculation
- Post code to Github
Add basic interactivity[zooming & panning]- Add advanced interactivity [to show links for a specific book (a la http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2007/12/15/us/politics/DEBATE.html)]
- Add columns for each chapter (why?)
- Add mouse scroll wheel zoom handler
Add the allusion links and possible [allusion] linksSet up correct Z-order(handled by order of function calls)
