alexpgpA full page of the big document is less than 300 words (sample size: 1 page), which says there oughta be around 27000 words in this document, which added to the 14000 words done does just about make the lower limit of 40000 words advertised for the job. I'm not that sorry that this isn't going to be a 60K job, since all matrices and no time off make AlexPGP a dull boy.
I just finished 4 pages of the big document fairly quickly (one page, with a block diagram, took some time because of the graphics work, but that's factored into the job), which means that I might even be able to finish this document in a week (13 pages a day x 7 days), or maybe faster, which will be far in advance of my deadline and will allow me to commence on my next job.
* * * I have begun to gradually move pages from my "personal" web site into topics at the Springsboard TWiki. This is somewhat confusing to me at this point, as I really don't know what I want to do with the site, or to be more exact: what I want - as demonstrated by my actions - is wildly contradictory. I would like to use the TWiki capability to house my personal pages and act as my personal scrapbook, but I also want the site not to look like my own personal playground (which it obviously strongly does right now).
Now, part of the site's somewhat lopsided appearance (virtually all new content has been contributed by me) is simply due to my wanting to create some kind of "core" material that might spark some collaboration down the road some day, and that's okay. But I'm increasingly getting the feeling that I'm going to have to strictly divide my personal items from the more general items and soon, before the site looks like a complete Keystone Kops fire drill.
Hmmm. That might work. I could create a strictly "personal" web within the TWiki that is not listed among the webs available to the casual user/visitor. (Not that I'd be trying to keep it a deep, dark secret, only that I wouldn't want to smack people in the face with it all the time.)
Then, I could have a link on my "user" web home page that points to that "personal" web (as well as a separate entry page). In this way, I can have topics within the "personal" web (e.g., my draw against Boris Spassky) that aren't of particular general interest, as well as links to topics in the various other webs at the site that I do want to have available to users/visitors. Moreover, the non-personal ("collaborative"?) part of the TWiki would not have so strong of a personal flavor.
Now, only to find time to do this.
Cheers...
