Re: [TCP] Back On Topic
What am I doing? Thanks to holiday traffic, I'm recuperating from my longer-than-usual drive from Michigan to Chicago on Sunday. I spent more than 9 hours driving when I can usually make it in less than 8. Because I made a few stops along the way, my total trip was 11 hours long. Ugh! I'm not complaining, mind you. I like my job and am happy that I have it. But my body just can't take those long drives as well any more. Ouch! Donna (And because people always ask--no, flying isn't a viable option. Even with the high gas prices, it's still less than half the price for me to drive to Chicago as it is to fly. For some reason, the airlines think that the flight from the nearest semi-major airport to Chicago is worth more than $400. I disagree.) - CONFIDENTIAL- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential, and may also be legally privileged.

Re: [TCP] Back On Topic
Me, I need to figure out a way to single-source content that is shared between a main and co-branded product when references to another of our products is totally interwoven. As in: Blah blah blah (content for both). Then Yada Yada Yada (content specific to our product). Then Blah blah blah (content for both). As in, not easy to share an entire topic. And there are dozens of places. So the decision is: 1. Do I rip apart the topics, and rebuild the paragraphs that apply to each doc type? 2. Do I rip apart the topics and add a variable that includes Yada Yada Yada on the one, and empty on the other? 3. Do I create a copy of the topic and pull out what doesn't pertain to the one? Thereby forcing me to then manage duplicate topics (changing content in one means to change in the other -- and yeah, I can flag them both to remind me to change the other one but still...). 4. Do I frickin' ignore the problem and hope it goes away? sigh I'm stuck till I figure this one out, and I'm not sure what's the best way to go. Eenie meenie minie moe! ...sue P.S. And it's Monday.

Re: [TCP] Back On Topic
Finishing up PCI compliance documentation. Rewriting the user manual and online help for the Loans Mortgages module of our software. Finishing up a manual on FundServ and how our software interfaces with it. Redesigning forms in Simply Accounting. Waiting for repairs to be completed on my car. Waiting for someone to come and fix a leaky pipe in my house (will involve removing a ceiling). Waiting for a quote on a new furnace. Shopping for a new car. Working on completing a video I'm doing for my niece's wedding at the beginning of August. Breaking in a new kitten and trying to convince my dog there's nothing to be afraid of. Getting ready for our company's Chicks with Sticks golf game on Wednesday. Getting ready to give a workshop on Word next week. Trying to stay cool!
