A load off my mind...
Oct. 30th, 2002 10:07 amThe assignment is out the door. It took me about 3 hours to check and reformat the text. I probably did more than what was expected of me, but that's nothing new (if I say so myself).
That 76-page eFax that was sent to me at 1800 GMT yesterday arrived in my inbox (1.2 MB of it) a little after 3 this morning. The headers on the e-mail are confusing. The fax (I presume) was received by machine A at 18:10 GMT on 29 October. Machine A sent the file to machine B almost immediately. Another machine - with a name similar to A's but with "nfs' in its name instead of "media1" - sent something to machine B about 6 hours (!) later, at 00:43 GMT on 30 October. Machine B then sent it to my ISP at 5:12 am Eastern Time, and it appeared on my machine shortly thereafter.
The observant reader will note the discrepancy in times, which I attribute to some machine's clock being off (I assume it'd be machine B, by about 30 min). That still does not change the fact, I think, that it took about 6 hours to complete this transaction.
Fortunately, none of the material that arrived was vital to my assignment.
I hope. Since I only gave it a once-over after printing it out. (I'm not really serious here, since it is highly unlikely that my use of terms was incorrect for this assignment... but in principle, still...)
Anyway, Galina's just left for the doctor, and I've got my jacket on, ready to go to the store. There has been no action as far as yesterday's to-dos are concerned, at least not yet.
Cheers...
