0605 - Summary/Objective
0606 -
060601 - Follow up ref SDS 10 0000, ref SDS 9 0000.
060602 -
060603 - Made final changes to report narrative and got it published.  Had
060604 - problems with printer.
060605 -
060606 -   [See follow up submitting to COE, ref SDS 12 line 143, printing

0609 - Progress
0610 -
061001 - Followed up revisions from yesterday, ref SDS 10 line 75.
061002 -
061003 - Revised the conclusion to explain Communication Metrics is a risk
061004 - management method, ref OF 2 line 584, and eliminated the prior
061005 - explanation of a continual learning process, since that is "soft
061006 - stuff" for construction people. Risk management comes from the work on
061007 - "problem handling" per ref SDS 1 line 399.  I did not use this term,
061008 - but the ideas are encompassed by risk management.
061009 -
061010 - Revised conclusion to distinguish Communication Metrics from ordinary
061011 - "documentation," ref OF 2 line 590, by using the term "intelligence,"
061012 - ref OF 2 line 593, and cited General Hatch for credibility.
061013 -
061014 -       This addresses concern of COE counsel, John Eft, about
061015 -       Communication Metrics being "ordinary litigation support" raised
061016 -       on 961223 in connection with evaluating uniqueness of the
061017 -       methodology, ref SDS 4 line 229.
061018 -
061019 -       This addresses Denis Henmi's problem of presenting Communication
061020 -       Metrics as "documentation because Communication Metrics is a
061021 -       foreign term," ref SDS 2 line 122 and ref SDS 2 line 177.
061022 -
061023 -            We may still need to specifically explain how Communication
061024 -            Metrics differs from "documentation." see ref OF 2 line 195
061025 -            and ref OF 2 line 556.
061026 -
061027 - Took the document to Kinko's to print some examples to show at COE.
061028 -
061029 -
061030 -
061031 - Printer Fuser Problems
061032 -
061033 - We had a lot of problems today getting the printer to work properly.
061034 - There is considerable smudging just from running the documents printed
061035 - on the Lexmark through the printer at Kinko's.  Simply placing the
061036 - sheets on top of each other causes ink to rub off on the page on top.
061037 -
061038 -      [See solutionn at ref SDS 13 line 55.]
061039 -
061040 - The Kinko's technician had to handle the table of contents to prepare
061041 - the tabs, per below, and this smudged it.  I had to come back to the
061042 - office and print this page again.  Decided to print the entire
061043 - document and the schedule also.  Also copied the files to a disk so
061044 - they could print it a Kinko's if needed.  I took it back to Kinko's.
061045 -
061046 -
061047 -
061048 -
061049 - Tabs Improved with Descriptions
061050 -
061051 - I had Kinko's revise the tabs to place the description of the appendix
061052 - on the tab as well as the tab letter, per work at ref SDS 5 line 187.
061053 -
061054 - The next time we run these reports, I want to add a period after the
061055 - tab letter and more space.
061056 -
061057 -
061058 - Publication, Document Assembly Errors
061059 -
061060 - Somehow, however, they did not get the table of contents included in
061061 - the run they did this morning. They also forgot to put the plastic
061062 - covers on the documents.
061063 -
061064 - I took some copies of this run to COE to show how the report will
061065 - look.
061066 -
061067 -
061068 -
061069 -
061070 -
0611 -
0612 -
0613 - 1105 printed reports
0614 -
061401 - After getting the signed comment memos from COE, ref SDS 11 line 57,
061402 - I went back to Kinko's and submitted an order for 10 sets of the
061403 - report.  I inserted the signed documents into the appropriate
061404 - sections.
061405 -
061406 - We noticed more problems with smudging.
061407 -
061408 - The Kinko's technician carefully hand copied the schedule used for
061409 - appendix e, so we could use it as a master to copy section e for the
061410 - report.  However, the main report had a lot of bad smudges so it was
061411 - difficult to read.
061412 -
061413 - I went back to the office and printed another copy.  Took it back to
061414 - Kinko's and the technician hand copied a set to use as a master.
061415 -
061416 - They said the report will be ready OA 1800.
061417 -
061418 -
0615 -
0616 -
0617 - 1458 corrections
0618 -
061801 - I found in reading the original set there were a few errors.  On page
061802 - seven there was an open quote.  On page nine the language in the last
061803 - paragraph of section 5 described "...consolidation of soft to hard
061804 - polygons" which I changed to consolidation of RFPs on soft....
061805 -
061806 - I printed these corrected pages and took them to Kinko's.  They had
061807 - already printed the 10 sets ready for binding.  I had them print 10
061808 - sets of the corrected pages and I manually replaced pages 7 and 9 in
061809 - the 10 sets.
061810 -
061811 -
0619 -
0620 -
0621 - 1810 picked up order
0622 -
062201 - Went to Kinko's and received the order.
062202 -
062203 - They did not charge for the first run this morning, because it omitted
062204 - the table of contents and the plastic covers.
062205 -
062206 - Received invoice ref DRT 1 line 10.  These cost $83.11 or $8.31 each
062207 - since we purchased 10 sets.
062208 -
