Getting down to the wire...
Aug. 28th, 2011 10:07 pmI have gotten 144 pages through what is ostensibly the last pass through the 160-page translation, and I can go no further this evening.
The good news is that I'm deep into the part of the document with all the tables, so the remaining 16 pages ought not take me very long. My current plan is to simply get up early (I usually do anyway) and finish off the document. Other work due tomorrow morning—short items—have been translated, despeckled, and sent off.
Galina called me early today when the eye of Irene was just south of New York Harbor. She reported a loss of power and a whole lot of rain (no surprise on either count), and was curious as to the progress of the storm, which I conveyed to her. I tried to call back later, but was shunted immediately to voice mail, which suggests that for whatever reason, the cellular network cannot find her phone (again, no surprise, as under typical conditions, the terrain the house makes it hard to maintain a link to a local cell node). At around 2 pm, after the storm had moved away from the metropolitan area, I got a call from Galina, but the system dropped it almost immediately. I've had no contact since, but I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.
Other than, maybe, making sure I get up early tomorrow. :^)
Cheers...
