A soupçon of OMG...

There is something fundamentally evil about embedding a =TODAY() function call in an Excel spreadsheet that's intended to serve as an electronic version of a dated document.

It does make it a bit difficult to figure out the original, intended, and proper date of said document.

Ah, well. Such concerns are above my pay grade. I hope the end client likes my footnote.

Just sayin'...

Not quite what I expected...

It rained today, quite a bit, which is good. (At least, I'm hoping the rain was widespread enough to nudge some more mushrooms out of the soil.)

I ran into Drew on Friday afternoon, as he pulled into a gas station to fuel his truck. We made tentative plans to get together sometime this weekend, but they never really materialized. (There's that little voice, saying, "See, you cleaned the house for nothing!")

The day's work comprised five really small files that required extra effort, totaling just about 1,000 target words, and about 2,200 source words of the job due Tuesday morning, of which there are 3,300 source words left. I should be able to finish those tomorrow once I get out of a nasty table, and then get a good start on The Big Edit™.

* * *I am perhaps the last person to learn that the first part of Mark Twain's unexpurgated, no-holds-barred set of reminiscenses dictated over the four years before his death, the publication of which Twain instructed be put off until 100 years after his death, will be published in November. I'm putting it on my list of to-read books.

By then, I should be finished with the recently published Heinlein biography, methinks.

Cheers...
