alexpgpThe translation due tomorrow kinda snuck up on me this morning with its complexity. About mid-day, I was feeling as if I was getting nowhere with it, probably due to the nature of the beast.
The document consists of a few large tables, very few sentences in between. There is a strong temptation - and one that I do not resist - to skip over 'hard' items and go on to the next 'easy' ones. While this technique usually gives the impression of great speed - and hence, makes you feel as if you're clipping along and being very productive - having to go back later and find the untranslated parts wastes a lot of time and brings you down.
My problem this morning was: there simply weren't too many 'easy' items, so I really never got going. At any rate, a few minutes ago, I highlighted the items I have left to do, and it's a comfortingly small volume of words.
The other two computers I ordered for the store came in yesterday. Now I have to come up to speed quickly in Windows 2000. I am hoping it will give me the level of control I will need to prevent - or at least slow down - any script kiddies who decide to use the shop's computers to launch The Next Great Internet Virus, or something equally disastrous.
Tired am I, evidenced by the fact I am starting to type like Yoda speaks. G'night.
Cheers...
