How I spent my afternoon
Thursday, July 22nd, 2004 05:34 pm
I did something novel today: work from home!
I had a book I had to work on that was in Quark 3.32 for PC, and it had to stay there because it depended on a certain proprietary XTension that would only work in same. Needless to say, nowhere at MITP does there exist such a platform... but in my Luddite household, that's what I've still got installed, naturally. So I took the files home, did the formatting changes I had to do, and made PDFs of all the files (two separate versions of each chapter).
Of course, then I had to sneakernet them back to the office so I can print them out. So I'm back here. :-)
