I've spent most of the morning today rewriting my spreadsheet for the EBU Snapshot to be less labour intensive. Now, down to ...
Still quite a number of manual steps. It'll have to do until I'm able to rewrite it in Perl5 to autonode directly on to E2. Or may be even get Perl5 to autonode and drive Excel via automation.
Excel's ability to understand copy & pasted HTML table tags was nice, and VLookup ability to search for exact match from unsorted list was useful too. However, have to use work around of printing to "Generic/Text" printer to get fixed column output without tabs from Excel.

Everyone is so energetic in the office today. I feel we are but .002 units away from throwing paper airplanes.
My choir, though on a summer recess, is to go busking in Stanley Park to raise money. Yay! I'm dubious about the fundraising potential of the whole thing, but it certainly sounds like a good time. We may even do a set with kazoos. Whee!
Ms. Ziola is here today doing some filing. Every time I pass her I feel really odd, like I'm in a dream. It's the sort of thing I might dream - some humdrum setting with wrong but familiar faces in place..
My partner is away again today - flex day. I really like working with her, yet I find the stress level drops a notch or three when she's away. Don't have to restrain my latent control freak tendencies, I suppose, I can just do everything myself.
My birthday is next week, and my vacation soon after. I've been absent-mindedly counting the days all week. I feel kind of peaceful and rested already, though. In march and april I was keening after a vacation with bags under my eyes and the breath knocked out of me from RRSP season. I like my church today for this reason: instead of sleepy worries, I start the week with songs and voices stuck in my head. I don't sleep much more, but I feel better rested when I'm humming something. Carry the flame.. oh, it's better than sucking on sugar cubes and watching the minutes crawl by to lunch time.
Erk, speaking of which, I now have Butterfly stuck in my head. It's the catchiest song known to man, though I'm tempted to blame it on being hypnotised by the flashing lights of the Dance Dance Revolution machine, or perhaps just the disturbing image of a gyrating Pseudo_Intellectual displaying his somehow incongruent (but still very hairy) grace which has burned the song in to my mind.
Today was one of those days. I had a fight with my SO last night, about nothing really even worth fighting about, and only because we were misunderstanding each other and thinking the other person was saying something different then they were. We made a fight out of nothing.
So as a result, I got like no sleep last night, partially due to the fact I become really timid after a fight and won't like do anything, so I wouldn't pull the sheets & blankets back over to my side, so I just lay half covered and miserable.
This morning, when I actually am asleep, one of the cats decides it's feeding time at least an hour before we need to get up, and you can't exactly ignore him. So that hour was more or less blown also due to him, and one of the others who also had to chime in with her displeasure.
I can't find anything that I want to wear. I find out one of the cats puked at the bottom of the stairs, and another apparently decided to wipe their behind on the carpet after using the litter.
I laid back down to try and calm myself, and remind myself that I can still have a good day if I want to, and I just need to stop making everything seem so bad. It seems to somewhat work, so I get up and finish getting ready to go. And I go to put on a dolphin necklace I like (even if it is pretty cheap), and manage to ruin it in the process, and then throw a mini temper tantrum, and decide to give up on the attempt at a good mood.
All this, and it's not even nine yet, and I haven't even left for work. I just want to go back to bed and wake up tomorrow.
Maybe a weekend of Rollercoaster Tycoon, movies, shopping, and junk food could help...
I'm still thinking a lot about IP in both its forms. I like the battle between Internet Protocol and Intellectual Property. I get silly in my pursuit of information, and I'm a network administator...
IP vs. IP the big battle for freedom. there's a node in that.
Notable events of the day
Burnboy is a trendsetter, like Farrah Fawcett.
I had a coffee headache all morning after work. But attributing it as such didn't occur to me until Y said (during lunch in the A.M.) "How much coffee did you drink last night?"
"2/3, maybe 3/4 of a cup in all."
"And how much do you usually drink?"
"Uhm...two." (and I looked sheepish, because it could be more than that)
"Mm-hm."
So, I drank some coffee and my headache receded a couple of hours later. Not only that, but I was able to get to sleep soon after I had the full cup at lunch. Tonight I'm back to drinking my usual amount. Too much blood in my caffeine stream.
More packing. I encased two large framed things in this super mutant bubble-wrap I got from a mailbox place, packed some books (which still leaves a lot of books), and took a fraction of the books to a bookshop ($62 trade). I would have liked to use the big bubble-wrap as a dance floor.
The X-Files Season 1 DVD set that I ordered came today, along with [Arthur (DVD).
Later, he took me out for a haircut. The barber shop is an old-school, with an old dude named George taking care of the scissors. George squeezed in time to give me a haircut, but I could've been better if I have made an appointment first...
After the barber shop, we went for breakfast. He's the worst kind of person to think of breakfast, since he took me to Burger King for a little something. It just doesn't feel right, me being the "two eggs sunny-side up with grits" guy eating a croissandwich for breakfast.
Speaking of grits, I bought some instant grits for the breakfasts in Florida.
Afterwards, we went back home to take the rest of the family to Florida. Oy, they were arguing a bit about the supermarket discounts for their food before we left.
We left around 1:00 PM, to the interstate highway 95. I slept in the back of the minivan while the kids watch "Jumanji" and "The Rugrats Movie." Zzzz....
My brother went out to a motel in Georgia at night before continuing our way to Florida... It was a shared room, and poor little Kit L. Lo slept on the floor while everybody else slept and rolled over in the beds. I think one of the kids fell to the floor while I was thinking about the massacre that was "Kit Lo hangs out with a girl..."
Got up. Eat. Drink. Watched tv. Worked. Went to bed ...
Seriously, nothing more than that.
She scratches and shouts, "I've won $2!" A few minutes later she completely freaks out shouting "Holy shit! Holy shit! I've won $100!!!!!!"
she runs around really excited for about 5 minutes and finally calms down a bit, and decides to scratch the rest of the ticket. She starts screaming and stuff yet again saying that she won $252. She carries on for a bit, then runs out of class to go tell her friends what's happened.
She finally gets back after telling her friend, and the friend's whole class, what she's won when someone takes a look at the card. It turns out that you needed 3 of a kind in the little box to win, and she only had 1. Apparently she believe that she would win as long as there was a dollar amount in the box :P.
After we all laughed at her for a while, we found out that he actually did win the original $2. The ticket cost $5.
