I have said before that I don't want to make any more “no code” clarifications, and ordinarily I wouldn't. However, I've only been working on the computers that I worked on this week and last week for a little while, so people who read what I write might not remember the one time I said that those computers shut themselves off at 4:15 p.m..
Yesterday afternoon, I finished the first online draft of the last thing I was going to write at 4:08 p.m.. I put the time, and then, before I'd read the page over or published it, I thought “OK, I'll give myself a break this time, I won't publish it at 4:08 p.m.. I'll read it for editing errors first.”
It's not that it had a lot of editing errors that I could see, but it was one of the more complex things I've written, so reading it took a little more time, and all of a sudden, it was 4:13 pm and I had to make a decision to publish it or not. I also didn't have time to save it anywhere else.
I figured I'd probably get some grief for that, but that's not unusual by now. I also think that people should be understanding that, since I don't have my own computer and don't have endless time on the Internet or at all, really, moments like that happen.
I'm sure that there will be other times when I sign off with similar times, “4:13 pm” or "4-other-numbers-that-are-often-used-as-codes-for-people-but-that-I-don't-meant-that-way,” and, since I've already said that I'm perfectly capable of speaking my mind without using code and I'm not someone who needs to hide what I think or feel, nobody should be reading anything into that.
Also, there will probably be days when I need to go on and publish other things that I finish at 4:08, when that's what time it is. Life isn't perfect.
I had found the other excerpt from the report that I thought was important, so I put that at the end and thought I'd get to organizing it better today, with its own page, etc..
