grabbed them, thank you for sharing your work!

Thank you Hannah for your years of work and willingness to share.

I don't know anything about literature but I can display data from a database. I can most likely update your existing php code to 8.x as well. If you'd like final approval on the UI, you got it.

If keeping the same look were a requirement I'd probably massage the db to work with a pre-made solution, like Advanced Custom Fields for Wordpress, and then theme it until it's familiar. If not, I'd look at a semantic wiki, which I think would be handy for finding relations between multiple...

I'd like to know how the search functioned. It only searched for titles, correct? There wasn't a content search?

@Pogue Mahone Athbheoim I believe the majority (if not the entirety) of the database's content can be found in the "lists" here: https://web.archive.org/web/20210827151741/https://bukowski.net/database/lists.php Please correct me if I'm wrong. email correspondence with Hannah this morning,

Thank you rekrab, we have the timeline here as well unless you notice something missing: https://web.archive.org/web/20230414184036/https://bukowski.net/timeline/ Another bit of good news: Thanks to the "lists" feature Hannah made, the database's content is nearly intact on the same site. Does...

I spoke with Hannah, they're not interested in restoring bukowski.net, so we're on our own. If anyone has a copy of the database that's more recent than 2009, please contact me.

Cost isn't an issue. I can host hundreds of gigs for less than $5/month

Rebuilding the database would be a lot of work. I can easily provide the platform, but the content would require sweat that I can't provide. https://web.archive.org/web/20230414183601/https://bukowski.net/database/notes.php 4848 poems 560 stories 5450 total works (4690 unique works, 760...

I offered to host the entire site but Hannah wanted to keep bukowski.net I haven't received a word about this most recent development. If anyone's in touch with Hannah let them know I'll still host, if they like. In a pinch we could probably recover the static pages like the timeline from...

Thanks all, I went with the French translation of Post Office (didn't know how his poetry would translate) and a bottle of Glenfiddich.

My friend's fiancee left him. I'm not sure on the messy details, but he's taking it pretty hard and has quit working. I want to send him a poetry collection or book, since Love is a Dog From Hell and You Get So Lonely were helpful to me when I was younger. Any recommendations?

Soundcloud has been on the brink before, I wouldn't consider it a reliable host. @Hannah if you need help resurrecting these let me know.

If this site were hands-off, it would be indistinguishable from the bukowski social media groups. Of the posts that get through, nearly every one is edited to some degree by zobraks or hoochmonkey. It's pretty unique.
