Site updates

I have updated the RS theory site and subdomains to the latest version of Drupal, and upgraded all the modules. This corrects a number of problems with the site, particularly the custom, domain-based views. If you experience any site problems, please contact me. Thanks.

Site audio fixed

I have applied all the latest Drupal and module updates, and the audio files are all "playable" again (Larson's conference lectures, and a few other things). Click on ISUS on the top right to get the audio options. Quite a bit of work... I had to reprocess ALL the audio files to be compatible with Flash player, which is picky and won't play a file unless the audio rate is 11025, 22050 or 44100 b/s! But, they are all working again now.

RStheory is now an "ORG"

I have moved the site from rstheory.com to http://www.rstheory.org since ISUS is a non-profit organization. Links to the old .com site should continue to work, though there might be up to a 36-hour delay as the network catches up with the change. Please update your bookmarks to refer to the .org site instead.

There are undoubtedly a number of broken links; I am working on correcting them now and improving the RS Library. It will take time, though, as it is a LOT of work!

WYSIWYG Editing now available

I switched to a different WYSIWYG editor, and this one seems to be working much better, though it loads a bit slow. The developers says that will be fixed in the next release!

The editor works just like your standard rich text editor; please let me know if there are problems.

Online audio is still not working; may be a while before that gets fixed.

New RS theory site, rstheory.org, is up for testing

ISUS is moving over to a non-profit TLD (top level domain) to go with our non-profit organization status. The new site, built on Drupal 6, is up for testing at http://www.rstheory.org

Web site and forum upgrades

The main web site software has released a major new version, which I will be switching to shortly after some testing. With this change, we will also be moving to rstheory.org (instead of com), since we are a non-profit organization. The old .com links will continue to work as an alias.

Postal Rate Increases

On May 12th, the Postal shipping rates are going up again. I will update the catalog with new shipping rates at that time. I suspect that we will also have to add a "fuel surcharge" because of the ridiculously high cost of gasoline.

I will also be suspending sales when I leave ISUS HQ until I get back to Colorado and can get set up for shipping again, so if you want any books, NOW is the time to order!

Contact me for priority mail pricing and large order (5+ books) discounts.

PDF Catalog and Flyer in ISUS Block

I have added links to the ISUS/Reciprocal System Flyer (a single, double-sided page that can be tri-folded and mailed) and the current ISUS Catalog to the ISUS "block" on the bottom left side menu. The purpose of this block is to give quick and easy access basic ISUS information for visitors.

No, Dewey has not made a Second Coming to post here

Some people are apparently confused by the "posts" by DB Larson. That is ME doing the posting, not Dewey from the other side. I set up an account on the system for Mr. Larson so that it would track authoring information accurately. That way, when someone searched for articles authored by Larson, they COULD search for Larson, and not have to look under my name. That's all, folks. But if I do figure out how to use the "photon interface" to transmit messages to the other world, you'll be the first to know!

The Road to Permanent Prosperity Now Available!

Dewey Larson's second book on economics, The Road to Permanent Prosperity, is now available for purchase from ISUS. Using Larson's unique scientific perspective, this massive book of 340 pages details the problems with social economics (primarily using the United States as an example) and now to correct them to produce a productive and prosperous economic society.
