Introducing IdeaNet (tm) Books by IdeaFarm (tm)


IdeaNet (tm) Books by IdeaFarm (tm) introduces a new kind of electronic "book" presentation system. It promises to deliver significant benefits to both readers and authors of scholarly and other carefully reasoned plain text writings. But accessing it requires that each subscriber use an unsigned console application on a personal computer. In the future, the system will present compelling content, but at present, the system is merely a curiosity for people who want an early look at emerging technology.

My name is Wo'O Ideafarm (Wo Of Ideafarm). I am an educational product of Christian parents, a Catholic school, UCLA, and the University of Chicago. I am a trained economist and social scientist, and an expert C++ software craftsman. Now 71 years old, I expended 35 years of my life writing the 1/2 million lines of C++ code, and configuring the ten servers, that are under the hood of IdeaNet (tm) Books by IdeaFarm (tm). My marriage produced two daughters and lasted 17 years before ending in a figurative train wreck. As my bio (click "about" at top left) says, I have a clear view of the cultural problem as well as what must be done to solve it.
