The sound of words being translated...
Dec. 21st, 2005 07:37 pmYesterday's loss of work was made up for by some incoming files this morning, one of which had to be done with a fairly short turnaround (meaning: today), and the other of which is due early next year. (Boy - "early next year" - that was hard to write!)
After completing the translation and sending it back, I hunkered down and invoiced the Houston assignment, wrote up the Houston expense report, and invoiced the document I had just completed (along with one that I had squeezed in during the Houston trip).
Then I sat down and tried to make WackoWiki look as much as possible like the page I was able to rearrange under MediaWiki simply by editing the CSS file. The reason for this effort has to do with the fact that Wacko will let me manage access rights to pages, which effectively allows me to create pages customized for individual clients. Also, the Wacko package has a much better approach to uploading files and entering comments to pages. Currently, I'm stymied by a seeming inability to reformat the navigation bar and a refusal to display graphics. Hopefully, those issues will not stand for long and I'll be finished with this redesign by the New Year.
In short, I saw neither wall nor dust bunny of the store today, even though I am probably equally tired from today's efforts.
* * * While checking out The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security (via digg.com), I ran across a reference to Richard Feynman's Personal Observations on the Reliability of the Space Shuttle, which is a very interesting read (I seem to recall having read it years ago; it's worth the repetition).
And finally, I am impressed with the decision of Judge Jones in Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District (and here I mean the actual decision, and not just the outcome of the case). Various tidbits of text posted on the 'net yesterday caused me to eventually download and actually read the decision, the outcome of which, I am sure, will have as much effect on future attempts to turn science into religion as repeated defeats of "broadcast flag" provisions will have on future attempts to enshrine the broadcast flag in law, i.e., none. I suspect the same tired folk'll go back to the drawing board and hire some new PR flacks before coming back with a "new, improved" version of creationism, but that'll be a battle for another day. The broadcast flag, on the other hand, is again a pressing issue.
Time to go relax.
Cheers...
