Ah, well if your org has blocked us the best solution is to contact the internal sys admins and ask them to unblock it.

Amber – you could also export the book as epub and email it to John.

Hi John,

Ooh thanks for pointing that out! I’ll pass that back to Adam to see what he’s got to say. Bit of a scunner you can’t view the draft, as we used a *lot* of your synthesis work. We’ll see if we can get a copy of the draft to you by some other means.

Hope the new job’s going well. Sorry, I haven’t been in touch for ages, I owe you an e-mail :}

Hi Lorna,
A quick note that I had ‘issues’ viewing the draft – my institutional firewall blocked access to the draft/ site.
I followed up to see what the issue was. and it flags booki for a couple of reasons.
Booki won’t support https connections and the code around login / account creation got flagged as suspicious/ flaky/ insecure. I suspect being hosted in in NL was also a slight factor.
I’m not suggesting there’s a problem with the tool but wanted to mention this in case others hit the same problem. I’ll look forward to seeing the published version.
