IHB I interviewed and got a new job.  IAHB I'm almost done
filling out the forms for said new job.  Further IHB I almost
have one really complex data set matching on independent
programming.  If I can get that done, then there is just
one more to do.

Thanks tod and walkman!  And IHB I'm almost done with the
program from hell that they changed a dozen times in the
last week.  Only one more variable to get matching the
source data. Hopefully, it will be done today, with any
luck.

Congratulations, Kent.

IAHB Son-chan ranked 1st in a class of 162 students at the Maneuver Captains
Course. This course is the "career level" course for Army officers.
(Equivalent to the Amphibous Warfare School for Marine Officers, for those
who know. ;)

Son-chan is happy, too, I hear. :)

IHB because my QC program was right tonight, even though the lead
programmer thought source was right.  The data and the specs support
my side of it.

    IHB I was able to mount a drive that I pulled from my
primary PC, which recently failed.  I cobbled together a
replacement PC from parts that I had laying around and now I
am copying files from the old disk.  Almost all of the data
exists elsewhere but this is going to save me the work it
would take to rebuild things.

That's great, Andy, congrats.  I've had disks that failed to read and
then one day they would respond and it was a big rush to back them up
before they stopped reading again.  As you say, even if you can rebuild
from other sources, it's nice to get everything back at once.

IHB today is my first day on my new job and all the people I'm currently
dealing with are in the same time zone as I'm in.  Account information
is being sent and now it's just when will Fedex deliver my laptop?

IHB I figured out how to do 0 wipes on external USB drives using a Mac
at 2.5x the speed as a DBAN takes.

re #42
I use OneNote for my web based trainings so I can reference those notes
through out the year to refresh my skills...and then for annual renewal
it's right there.  OneNote is very nice..wish Mac had a way to interface it.

IHB Grex is back up, too.
 
Thanks tod and walkman.  Now I'm working through getting permissions
to all the applications I need to do my job.  At least I'm back to
the Unix shell I like to use and an app that I used to be very good
at using.  It's coming back a bit at a time.  Hopefully having had
5 years experience with it will cut short the current re-learning
curve by a lot.
 
I haven't really gotten into OneNote much.  I guess I should give it
a shot and see how well it works for note taking.  Normally I just
use pen and paper, but that makes it difficult to find notes later
for review through out the year.  I know at least one other person
that swears by OneNote.

Nothing beats the Windows+S combo in OneNote, imo.  It's great for
doing snapshots and then putting narratives below them.

#48 I thought there was a One Note for mac? Do you mean you can't synch
to  it from another device?
