Things are looking up...
Aug. 7th, 2007 07:49 pmA client sent about 40,000 words for the 23rd, which put a big smile on my face (even if that loads me down to nearly 100% of my time between now and then). That back-of-the-envelope estimate fortunately takes account of the fact that the actual deadline will likely be the 20th, since I have a tentative interpretation gig planned starting the 21st.
In other news, I got a check in the mail today - nothing dramatic - but as far as my records show, I've never done work for the company that sent me the check. To further compound the mystery, I could not find the invoice number shown on the check stub in my records (it certainly wasn't one of mine, nor was it associated with any job I've done).
Fortunately, the translation business being what it is (where one gets paid by the word), it's exceedingly rare for two invoices to be for the exact same amount, and the amount of the check happened to match an invoice that was issued in the appropriate time frame, to a company in the same geographical area. I shall thus consider the mystery solved (with a notation entered in the appropriate paper client file).
Assuming I'm interested in building traffic to my work web site, it would appear that packaging the information in a TiddlyWiki isn't a very good solution. When you click on the html link, an entire Wiki engine gets loaded into your browser, and any user activity that results in the display of new information - tiddlers, as they're called in TW-speak - is kept entirely within the wiki and doesn't register with whatever logs file access on your host's server. This is something to think about, but later.
I've been slacking all day. I allowed myself to do so in the morning, to let Natalie get some sleep (as she and Kyle - who left for the Great White North today - stayed up late last night), and then I went out to do errands and started to feel tired, and then napped upon my return, and here I now am, and it's nearly 8 pm.
I'm going to have to get more on the bounce, here, and right quick.
Cheers...
