Having some problems with the internet here on the south of the island, but I'll get to these as soon as I can.

Thanks Larry, for checking in!

As I said, I don't mind if PL takes a bit longer--I had a fair bit of free time so I rather steamrolled through it.
After all, this book is 4 centuries old, it can wait a few days/weeks longer...

Section 9 is ready!

I hope to finish the last one before the weekend

Section 10 is up too--all done with recording

WOW!

Well, back home tonight, so I had time for just the first few sections.
I'll do these as I am able, but will have them done in the next few days.
Good ole Descartes

I found it super fun to do!

If you have any comments/feedback/criticism, I'd love to hear 'em too, Larry

Well, I had opportunity to listen to the remainder of the sections this evening. All are PL OK except for the last two sections.

Section 9: 11:48-23 repeat:
were there moved in the same way as they required to be moved before in the hand for the purpose of impressing

Section 10:

It is only 8:02 in length and ends abruptly in the middle of 202 - a very interesting discussion of Democritus, to whom Descartes doesn't give the credit he is due.

Anyway, it seems the last several minutes got cut off. I hope you can find the missing ending.

Wow that must have been an intense listening session!

Section 10 was complete on my computer, so I'm guessing it might have been an uploader error--is it full length now?

I'll fix section 9 when I get back from work!

Thanks Larry!

Okay, Section 10 is PL OK, although it measures 16:59. I've adjusted the MW accordingly,

Oh--what did I note down it was? Did I mess up?

Revised section 9 is up for spot PL!

Yeah, I think you had Section 10 as 13 minutes something, and we got 8 and then finally nearly 17.
And, I've taken 4 seconds off of Section 9 which is PL OK.
I'm not sure how important the times actually are, but I think the MC also uses them to check against the actual time in the cataloging process.

Anyway, all is PL OK, so ready to launch into the great realm of the public domain.

Thanks for letting me listen.

Thanks for PLing, Larry!

If you have any generic feedback for me, I'd be really happy to hear it.

Just need a book summary and then we are off to cataloguing.

Ooh, yes I totally forgot! I'll get that done this evening I hope

thanks for the reminder!

Ugh, I suck at writing little blurbs...
But I've edited it in the first post, Craig
