  Fixed a bug in the layout of the ECR ToC page so that things are ordered by term id instead of term slug. There is going to be an issue in this if someone wants to re-order the outline. Right now it depends upon a specific id order to control layout. That needs to change at some point. Will likely need a sequence number added to terms.

  The combination of owncloud + S3 may solve some of the big data sharing issues I’ve been having. If it works as I expect there will be public access to bulk data that will not impact my systems directly. Yes, it will cost some money, but when someone pulls a download it won’t have a negative impact on on any of my websites.

  Been away for a bit, but I’m back now. Today we’re going to be looking a ta couple of WordPress issues. But first let’s transfer some FLR bulk data to S3 via the CALI cloud.

  Dred Scott issue solved. The file weighs in at 750k. The simple_html_dom.php library I’m using had MAX_FILE_SIZE set to 600k. I pushed that to 10Mb just to be on the safe side. That did the trick.

  So, processing of SCOTUS opinions stumbles on Dred Scott decision. No idea why. It is bigger than most, but only 750K. Same error on 2 machines. Seems like DOM is unable to open HTML file as an object. I’m looking into stuff like strange entities but nothing is popping out and I can open file in Firefox.

  Watching docs process on the FLR server is like watching paint dry. Every opinions has to be opened, have metadata added or modified, and then be inserted into Solr. Takes some time.

  Realized that the index.html files in all of those directories do not need to be modified or indexed. Updated the code to ignore index.html files.

  Finished up testing of SCOTUS cases from the 2008 PRO collections. Ready to load them into FLR. Should be interesting.

  Before we get to the EPUBs though we need to make sure that all of that great meta data is being put into Solr. Finding these opinions is more important than recreating the book volumes.

  So, since I’m already running through all these opinions, I’m going to create EPUB versions of US Reports. Watch for availability.
