alexpgpI got to the point last night where I had four PowerPoint slides with embedded Excel objects on them, whereupon I decided to just get up a bit earlier and take care of it this morning.
That's happened, as has the translation of another 500 words or so of certificates.
Oh, and breakfast. Can't forget that.
The voting in my LJ Idol "tribe" turned out to be pretty tight, at least below the median (an oft-understood term that's not easy to define glibly, referring to the value, among some group of values, where half the other values are higher, and half lower than the value). Next up from the bottom vote-getter in tribe 7 was a group of five contestants, and another five contestants were clustered in a group with just one vote more.
The median vote-getter received one vote more than the folks in that second group of five. The significance of this spectacle is not quite clear to me, except perhaps to suggest that if the tribal structure is retained for another week or two, just about anyone who ends up below the median might find themselves in last place in any given week.
I have five documents on the plate, all short. They will not all be done today, because I have a pretty pressing need to clean up my work area (it's getting to the point where finding things is an effort). But some of them will be done.
Cheers...

The code for GMT is Zulu, so "zero three hundred Zulu," for example, is "twenty hundred Tango" in Denver.
I don't know if this system was used during WW II, but I think I'm gilding the lily with too much information. You'll do just fine without any alphabetic suffix. Good luck. I'm still struggling to find my own take on the subject.
About Apple: Is all that since they landed the Beatles on iTunes? ;^)
Cheers...
