Thanks for the advise to go brand name. Did so, it's on its way. Did I get those i-t-s es right?
Which brings me to, read it out loud with another person! Going through some papers I saw the original graph which turned my head around about proofing. It said 2 people proofing in series (first I proof alone, then you proof alone) are not even close to as good as 2 people taking turns reading out loud while the other follows the text. This has been enshrined in extreme or agile programming where pairs of programmers work together. I think the factor difference was 1000, meaning, dual proofing is 1000 times more accurate than serial proofing. A sort of meta-meta-analysis on paired programming. It's meta squared because they cite meta-analysis studies along with a bunch of garden variety studies. __________________ |

R, I enjoyed the few times I've coded alongside a colleague.
D, book publishing has changed a great deal since I participated in a writer's group during the 1980s. For example, back then publishers would not accept a photocopy of a manuscript -- you'd have to submit the original. __________________ Major Depressive Disorder; Sleep Apnea; possibly on the spectrum Nuvigil 50mg; Effexor 37.5mg; meds for blood pressure & cholesterol |

Hey supports. Yesterday sent by cert. mail the close-out check for the condo's reserve study. After the usual diligence, selected a company based on their verbal promises. They were disrespectful, arrogant, and just simply wrong on several things in their report. I did my strongest to dissuade them misguided path and persuade them to write a report or study honoring and following our policies. No avail.
The law wanted it done, so check that box. We're going to lock it away and nobody will see it. In 3 years another owner or group of them can take it if up they want. I'm done. Thus concludes my 2 yrs of service. Added to my partner's 5 yrs, we've been leading things here for 7 years. There are 11 other owners. None want to work but we're not stepping back in. We have a problem. Longstanding and common in condos, I know. The rub is, unlike leaving the CEO post for a company, I have to continue to live where I led. This is my home, and we'll need to keep watch so they don't screw matters up. A huge less heavy load, but still a load. So be it, And so It Is. __________________ |
