3. Currently we are going through the rest of On Ends Books One and Two that we have not previously covered. This will be theLucretius Today On Ends Special Series . In the past, we covered the Torquatus monologue on Epicurean Ethics, but now we will turn our attention to the rest of the material, which contains Cicero's criticisms of Epicurus and Torquatus' responses. For the part we have recorded already, check here: Episodes 93-111 - Torquatus narrative of Epicurean Philosophy.

5. The Lucretius Today podcast is now finishing a series of episodes aimed at providing a basic introduction to Epicurean philosophy based on the organization plan of Norman DeWitt's “Epicurus And His Philosophy.” A table of contents for the book is here: Lucretius Today EAHP. We will set this up in a more organized fashion and eventually get this series to Youtube and similar venues.

8. It is highly desirable to have the EpicureanFriends website, or at least major parts of it, in some kind of archive static file format that is storable and viewable locally in case there are disruptions to internet access. We are currently investigating ways to do that including:
   1. Httrack https://www.httrack.com/ should allow the website to be downloaded and stored in a zip file.
   2. Webcopy https://www.cyotek.com/cyotek-webcopy (Windows)
   3. ArchiveBox https://archivebox.io/
   4. obsidian/logseq markdown files
   5. Tiddlywiki tiddlywiki Tiddlywiki allows an archive in a single htm file which can be downloaded and viewed in any browser.
   6. dokuwiki
   7. Linkace https://www.linkace.org/
