As you know, I now have a bit of time on my hands. So I've used it to complete my rewrite of my passing book! I started the rewrite in January, but it stalled about September. I think partly due to this ilness - I've found motivation to do stuff hard to come by in recent months. But this week I just got stuck into it, so now it's ready! You'll find it here:
https://www.geocities.ws/aidanjburns/passing.html
It's a free site, so if loads of people go at once, it might be down for a bit. If you manage to get a copy and can host it somewhere better, feel free!
I meant to say, if you spot any errors, get in touch with me! Typically I've already spotted three (hey, it's a big book). I won't get a chance to fix them till this afternoon. If you want a nice copy, hold fire until then!
Cool cool. I'm going to be a passing troll and do some of these patterns with rings or balls.
(why on Earth does everyone pass with clubs anyway?)
It's because they have handles.
Feel free to pass whatever you're comfortable with, as long as you're having fun. Personally I find rings hurt, but that's probably just poor technique on my part.
I did a bit more quality control on the sections I wrote over the last week or so, and fixed quite a few errors. So any early adopters may want to go back for a better copy!
Will you be creating a list of corrections and addendums for old fashioned people who got a paper copy of your book?
I did another major quality control exercise this morning. I haven't kept a record of those changes, but I'm guessing nobody's printed a hard copy yet. I think I'm done with my quality control exercises, so what's uploaded now is the zero copy. I'll keep a record of any future changes, and as I said, I welcome feedback with regards to errors.

I know of at least one person who had printed it out on Wednesday (the day of your post)! I don't know whether that was before or after the revisions though...
Well most of the corrections were explanations that didn't match the pictures. Either the number of clubs that the person starts with, or their delay, compared with the start. All the pictures are ok. So if you can work out that stuff for yourself from the pictures, you should be ok.
If someone can send me a copy of the first draft, I'll compile a full list of errata. I have posted one correction from the very last purge I did.
There's now a full list of errors on the geocities site:

Should appear on the other page soon.
p.104, "Jim's three count triangle on ins and outs"

I'm having a hard time believing that siteswap for that pattern.
Andy gave me some space on his site! So I've moved some of my juggling page there (the good bits). Hopefully the background picture will be fixed soon!
