Reports and Web Page Generation
All reports are saved to file in RTF (Rich Text Format), and can be opened by most word processor programs. Within the word processor, any desired cosmetic changes can be made (maybe additional pictures need to be added, repositioned, etc), a "master" names index may be generated, and then the word processor's print command can be used to print the reports. Tips:- East Asian Names can be added here in your word processor programs if desired.
You can configure ScionPC to automatically view any generated report in a report viewer or word processor of your choice.
ScionPC provides flexible control over the format of all reports, with the ability to select such things as fonts and colour schemes. An unlimited number of user-defined report styles can be saved for later recall.

How to Export Your Data from MyBlogLog
Export Your Data from MyBlogLog with Manny,one of the old MyBlogLog engineers, Python script that uses the MyBlogLog API to archive everything for you.
It creates a directory on your hard drive (Windows & Linux only) and creates up to four files for each contact (sites authored, an hcard file, a list of their communities, and a list of services).
1. Download the script (right-click & save as mbl_depart.py) 2. Install a Python interpreter such as current production version Python 2.7.1. Remember, this script only works if you’re on Windows or Linux. Once you’ve installed Python, copy the script into the same directory where you installed Python. 3. Edit the the script with a text editor and replace “foo” with your Yahoo API key. If you don’t have one, you can login to Yahoo and go to the YDN site to request a key. You only need the Generic key because you do not need to authenticate to read the data you are getting. 4. Run “cmd” to get a DOS window, navigate to the directory then run the code with your MyBlogLog username as the parameter. For example, cd c:\python27 python mbl_depart.py iankennedy The script should then run in the command window (if not, you may need to add your python directory to your path variable). The script will save all your data to the directory where you installed python in a directory the with the same name as your username. Subdirectories will be there for all your contacts. |

Far from the Madding Crowd
A young man falls victim to his own obsession with an amorous farm girl in this classic novel of fate and unrequited love. Published anonymously and first attributed, erroneously, to George Eliot, this Signet Classic version is set from Hardy's revised final draft-the authoritative Wessex edition of 1912.
The story features Bathsheba Everdene, a beautiful, headstrong, independently minded woman who inherits her uncle's farm, and decides to manage it herself, which engenders some disapproval from the local farming community. It centres around her three suitors: the steadfast but luckless shepherd Gabriel Oak, the lonely and repressed farmer William Boldwood , and the rakishly-handsome but faithless Dragoon, Sergeant Francis Troy.
