6 aug 2008: Finding books by date of entry or latest edit. If you want to find, for example, the books I entered or edited in June 2008, do a search on “jun 2008″. I have made sure that all the months are 3 letters, and all the years are 4 digits, and if there’s a day, it precedes the month. If you want to find all the entries I touched in 2008, search on “2008]”, where the “]” will skip over dates of publication. I am, in fact, planning a mass edit of the entries, and you should be able to find all the changed entries by searching on DD MMM.

older posts
if you click on the “math PCA” category, you get a page on which the earliest post is dated Feb 11; it is one of the Jolliffe posts, but not the first one. where are the rest? there is a link at the bottom of that page, “older posts”, and it will give you all the rest of the posts in that category. I suspect that I have no more than 10 posts per page, and that eventually there will more multiple pages of earler posts. I’ll let you know.

if you see any of those yellow and red signs (excluding that one, of course), please try again in a little while. the chances are very high that wordpress is being flaky. “it’s not my fault.”

i do make mistakes, and there are typos in these posts, but that image is real hard to miss; it’s exactly what i see when i preview an equation that isn’t acceptable latex to wordpress. i promise you: there aren’t any of those left when i publish a post. that much i do get right.

please keep coming back despite some technical glitches.

searching
on a mac, apple-F opens up a search box. it is limited to the current page, but you can change the page. on windows, control-F opens a search box. the exact form and location depends on the browser.

bibliography
the bibliography is now current.

note that you can search through it.
