Nice work, a great gift to us all. I originally started "Designing Sound" as a website full of easily clickable and runnable Pd patches. In some ways publication with MIT forced me to shoehorn a much richer experience into a standard textbook format. To that extent I remain disappointed with how "web" technologies turned out for education. In the end I had to take down the site in the face of leaching parasites that linked to the material in such a way as to saddle me with the bandwidth burden while freeloading as "meta educational" sites. 15 years later I am resolved to make my next text, after "Ethics for Hackers", be a more permanent free resource taking account of lessons learned.

That's a real shame. Ideally we'd bundle together a bunch of things like this into a torrent so that the people using them paid the bandwidth costs, but 70% of people are using hand computers that have been deliberately crippled to make this impossible.
