Wrote the check for 272$ advance payment for Utrecht university. I hope the other costs aren't too steep.

Now before Go leaves, we made bunch of true poser family photos, on that blue leather corner couch, what with delay shoot so we all get to be in the picture.

The guy from San Francisco, in charge of communicating with me, reported that the database arrived alright, so my job about exporting and delivering the posters database is done. It's exactly this april-may period when I don't have the VACU statements, so I don't know when how much did I charge them. Gary said he was giving away that database pro bono, but it's my affair how much to take, they got funds. Must have been around two thousand, and I think I didn't have to wait long.

Launching, with Suez, yet another conversion for some british client, from AqBase (written in, I'd say, Clarion), which they export into .csv files... the snafu is that those open in Excel, but their instance is vintage 2007. Well Excel was always a piece of shit, and this instance can't be automated, so I'll have to rework the conversion to read these files directly in fox. The trouble is that csv means comma separated values, but then values may contain commas, though these values should be surrounded by quotes. Furthermore, the end of line is letter #13, which also may appear within a value, though these inside should be #10, but then letter #10 is also on end of line... one autumn sorrow. But by the end of the day I managed to somehow bring in the doctors (both staff and GPs who send patients).

Norman again found some mysterious error at Richard's, and reported into the communal chat a lengthy analysis of whatever he observed there. No cause found yet.
