Putting my cuttings online

For some time now I've been meaning to publish the various reviews, features, etc that I've had sitting in boxes. But I also wanted to make the text searchable.

Fortunately this is a considerably easier task now with online OCR services. For my part, I've been using http://www.newocr.com/ and then manually correcting any errors I've spotted. If any errors still creep in, that's all down to me not checking properly.

My intention is to publish the scanned (or in some cases photographed, where the article wouldn't neatly fit on a flatbed scanner) article, along with the text. Where I have other relevant information (e.g. the setlist of the concert) I'll include that too.

I've a lot to get through, so this will be periodically updated!
