— How’s Daniel’s curl book<\/a> going?<\/em><\/p>\n

I can hear absolutely nobody asking. I’ll just go ahead and tell you anyway since I had a plan to get a first version “done” by “the summer” (of 2016). I’m not sure I believe in that time frame anymore.<\/p>\n

The index part is mainly interesting since the platform I use to write the book on, gitbook.com<\/a>, doesn’t offer any index functionality of its own so I\u00a0 had to hack one up<\/a> and add. That’s just one additional beauty of having the book made entirely in markdown.<\/p>\n
