Playing catch-up...

The floodgates held today, which was good, as it allowed me to finish a job assigned yesterday and to continue with the next scheduled increment of the Next Big Job™. The plate is slowly clearing, along with my head.

I've just printed out about 3700 words for despeckling, and I ought to get them sent by the time I go to bed. (Then again, given my hours lately, I ought to be able to send them upon arising and get them to the East Coast before the start of business.)

That leaves about 3000 words for tomorrow on the NBJ, after which there will be a flurry of invoicing (and maybe even a trip to Durango for a change of scenery).

I've hit upon the idea of using a QR code on the back of a business card as a fast (and state-of-the-art) way to send people to an online summary of my qualifications as a translator, and actually placed an order with an outfit called Vistaprint for 250 of their double-sided premium cards. For those of you who might be experimenting with QR codes, here's the one I'm using:


Apropos of which, I finally figured out what got slapped upside the head when I most recently upgraded my WordPress installation at my "work" web site, thereby causing it to behave strangely. It turns out the upgrade assumes "wp_" to be the table prefix used in the MySQL database, although in my case, having set things up so to allow two WordPress installations to use a single MySQL database, the default prefix didn't match the ones I was using. Once I figured that out, the rest was easy (and with luck, I'll keep this in mind the next time I upgrade WordPress).

I better get down to despeckling if I want to have any free time this evening.

Cheers...
