Error Traps Revisited - Part 2
Phase I work files are complete. I'll start working on submissals tomorrow. Hard copy will be submitted hopefully before the end of the week; posting of files to their website starts tomorrow. Took more time than I wanted, less time than anticipated. Change orders and error traps incorporated. It's about as good as I can make it....

Work
Phase II complete, pages posted, paperwork sent. Phase III goes, but more slowly than anticipated. Took a shot at Phase V, trying to find the best way to accomplish that part of the work. Phases V and VI should go well - no paperwork. Found a display error in Phase I, corrected....

The Tennessee Lottery strikes (out?) again
The Tennessee Lottery posted a video on their web site that demonstrates the security features of their computerized drawing system, and makes claims about the audit trail of the drawings. I hope everyone gets a chance to see that video, because it is a great example of how the Tennessee Lottery cannot , in any shape or fashion, show you the actual drawing as it takes place.&nbsp...

Work - Getting There.....
Half of Phase I, II released - about 60Mb upload, over 200Mb sent by CD and over 400 pages of documentation. More than half of the paperwork may come back for mods - that'll be a major time eater. Not completely satisfied with appearance but functionality is good. The second half of the phases has hit a snag, corrections being made - but that's the purpose of error traps. It took long enough for the first pa...

Centralia WA
Off to Centralia WA tomorrow AM to host, possibly play, in a tournament. Be back in a week. Phase II goes extremely well, ahead of schedule. As stated previously, it provides an error check on Phase I entries. Found a glitch, corrected same. Went into some of the admin files last night, updated and corrected same. All similar files should be in the same format now. Looking ahead to...

A lackluster Belmont
It was a nice sentimental story that the filly Rags To Riches won the Belmont Stakes, but it was certainly nothing for her connections to brag about. The race was run in a time that was nearly a full five seconds slower than the record time of Secretaiat. I probably could have run the race that fast myself. And those slow fractions could have been set by a garden snail. Hard Spun's new jock made a grave error in judgment by not making good use of his trademark speed. Instead he just rod...

Recovery - and Detroit
Recovery from spreadsheet loss complete - a lot of hard work and hours. I'll be cleared for departure to Detroit Tuesday AM. Have approved change order to contract which will double the size of output, but not completely double the work needed to produce it. New requirement will produce another error trap - a good thing....

Work.....and Omaha
Something good to report on project progress for a change - final major work for Program 3 Phase I uploaded. There are still some files to construct and upload but that work should go reasonably quickly. There were some format errors in the new upload but they have been repaired - those error traps worked. Statistical errors in Program 1 Phases I and II have n...

Home
All going well - home again for a few days then off to Omaha NE. Got what the cards gave me in PA and MO. Played well, but not in any money. Project is really fouled up. Far too many errors. Going over it all page by page, changing the format to try to avoid these in the future. Found first numeric error, which really...
