•  you going to do semi-annual or quarterly?

  might be interesting to see

    Due to a sudden need to move camp from one server to another, I seem to have misplaced much of the code I've used in the past to construct quarterly reports.  But we're looking for it.

    That, in addition to a much fuller schedule than in the past, has reduced to almost nil my contributions beyond the daily and weekly lists.

    All that said, I'll try to get something (maybe not quite like the quarterly reports) up in the next week or so.

  •  National treasure!

    jotter is a national treasure.

    Every week, I think "Oh, I rec too many of 'em", and try and remember to think  twice.  But still, it comes out to be a lot of 'em - a dozen or more a day.  Can barely remember life before dK.

  •  So true

    I appreciate being able to have a quick daily check for diaries I missed, but when you can't get on for a day or two or more, the value is immeasurable - especially these weekly compilations.

    Much appreciated, jotter.

•  Thanks to community -

  Did my 1st diary on 6/30, which was merely an extended PSA I only had to put effort of immediate recall of training from my old job into to get mostly right , I hope. Many people stopped by , made comments which were very helpful in furthering the message , and several made nice remarks about liking the diary. Have been a commentor and recc'er for some months , and a lurker /receiver of links to DKos for several years. I was made to feel very good about my first effort - reaffirming that we are a bunch of mostly pretty good folks here , even if we get a little argumentative sometimes.
   Have seen two first diries since then that were much better , I thought , than mine , and they also were well received and nicely recc'd & remarked upon. Good people , 'round here. Just needed saying.
