Last I checked the formatting results of toLocaleString differ between browsers and NPM for certain locales. A quick search finds a handful of issues on Github about it, but I'm pretty sure there's a more in-depth stack overflow discussion too. I'm not sure if this will all be superseeded by the new date handling proposals or not, but it's something to be wary of.

They're just for transactional emails, not for marketing ones. They wouldn't show very much based on how he's measuring.

(The article sums up a lot of this, but the actual website is more misleading)

I went through and clicked on the about page. The books aren't sold through local book stores. It's a front for Ingram, which handles the orders. The local bookstores that sign up as affiliates get a percentage of the sale, basically as referrers.

I'd love to see this as a search-model that drives to the actual stores, but it seems that would be much more difficult to implement with arbitrary stocking information. In its current state the site represents itself as a method of shopping local, borrowing its respectability from the local stores.

It turns out the key for me was that my mic requires phantom power and that the Fethead blocks it from reaching the mic. There are apparently some versions of the Fethead that allow pass-through of phantom power, but not the one I tried. I guess I'm stuck with the gain from the mic & the 2i2 as-is.

I was a bit surprised to see the recommendation of another inline preamp in the chain with the Focusrite. He recommends a TRITON AUDIO FetHead Filter in-Line Microphone Preamp. Does anyone have further experience with this setup? I've been using my MXL Mics 770 Cardioid Condenser Microphone with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 with nothing in-between. I know I've got the gain dialed up pretty high but it never occurred to me to put something else in between them. I'd love to hear your experiences and recommendations. Is an in-line preamp worth it?

I was refering to plain text as the interface to the machine, not the file formats. When your primary interface is through text, it makes sense that good tooling would develop.

Yes, recutils comes in 3 forms: a c library, command line utilities, and an org-mode plugin.

I don't, sadly. That is an example from the Recutils help docs, not my own personal collection.

The maintainer it's active still with a bugs mailing list and chat in IRC. Your findings would surely be well received.

I think you're referring to my book data? It's all from Goodreads export, not hand entered. I love my compose key and will get around to cleaning this up.

I couldn't find much more, which is why I decided to write this intro. I may do a video exploration of the various tools and features as well. It seems like others are as excited by this as I am.
