Yesterday I received a simple e-mail from The Keeper of the Sword (aka web host dude), Steve Leahy. He requested some changes to Broadsword. Specifically the closure of the Book Details section, and replace it with a redirection to The TARDIS Library. This is a good idea, the result will be that anyone that actually still reads Broadsword will have up-to-date info. Yet I feel as if I’m giving up on something again. Time will tell, it always does. As it happens I’ve been rearranging my bookshelves at home (as a result of getting a nice new glass fronted bookcase for my birthday), which means that I’ve been rearranging my Doctor Who books a bit so the timing of these changes to Broadsword are kind of odd. It has a feeling of putting the books in a box and locking them away never to be seen again. Which is not how I feel about my Doctor Who books (especially the good ones). I doubt I’ll ever want to hide my Who collection… but I can see that it may be necessary at some point. Anyway it is done. Broadsword is now a lighter site. In one single move (actually lots of key strokes) the site closes down three of the six sections. Still to be found are the Fiction, the Archives and the FAQ’s, yet even these need work.
One thought on “In which Broadsword takes an unexpected turn”

My NA’s are on a shelf out the back, where I don’t go. The MA’s and most of the BBC books I bought (ages ago) are stacked where they don’t get in the way and aren’t accessible. Recently I’ve been buying them again. There’s been a fair return to quality… but I’m not sure if it’s for me anymore. I’m waiting to see. Should know by early next year (this may sound like a long time, but I’m only buying every single book at the mo’, based on reviews). Regarding “giving up”, there need not be such a negative connotation there. Think of “freeing yourself”. Or, if you must be somewhat negative, “stop beating a dead horse”. A few years ago I found some wisdom in decision theory, the stock market and Judaism. I think this is a good point to hop on (if there is any): http://ondecidingbetter.editthispage.com/2000/02/02 PS: pony up! write something for the story I started! quick!
