Great news! The recently-completed SurvivalBlog archives database will allow us to produce an archive CD of all of the SurvivalBlog posts from 2005 to 2010. It will be fully searchable, and will be provided in both HTML and PDF. Effectively, it will emulate SurvivalBlog offline, on your PC or Mac. With this CD-ROM, you’ll always have access to the SurvivalBlog archives, even if the Internet is not available. And if you are on-line while using the CD-ROM, then the links to external web sites (from both HTML and PDF) will be fully functional.
The amount of information on the archive CD-ROM is immense. The HTML file has 44.6 megabytes of text and the PDF is more than 7,200 pages long! (So I don’t recommend printing a hard copy.) The new CD-ROM should be orderable from our Cafe Press store within a couple of weeks. (Please be patient.)
The Archive CD-ROM project is now in Beta testing. I’ll post an announcement once the CD-ROMs are orderable. The price should be around $20. Subsequently, we also plan to produce annual update CD-ROMs, with additional bonus materials.
