What calendar is that? Next week is the next-to-last week in July. The last week starts on the 29th. You apparently don't work for a software company. :-) At a previous company we had two products that we promised to ship by end of December 1995. When we didn't ship the first until the third of January, I issued calendars to the group labelled "Decemberary 1995++". Our product shipped on Decemberary 34, 1995++, which I thought was close enough. The other product shipped on the 62nd so we counted that one as having met its goals, too.

Yeah, but we go by nicknames: just call us America.
Of course that still leaves Albania in front :) .

Having been employed by a DoD contractor for many years, I am quite familiar with your calendaring methodology. The Feds FY officially ends at 2359 wherever you are on 30 Sep. At that moment, all project monies that have not been obligated by contract revert to the Treasury, and any new contract obligations have to come from the new FY budget, which may or may not have your project listed in it. It thus turns out that for the Feds, September sometimes hath more than 30 days ... enough "days" to get everything on contract before 1 Oct rolled around. I may go to digest mode [if I can figure out how] since I expect the reflector traffic to reach astronomical proportions as the magic date, whatever it turns out to be, arrives. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2007 CQP Oct 6-7 - www.cqp.org _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I doubt that the shipping will be alphabetically by country but if so, at least you aren't in Zimbabwe. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Ah, I was clearly wearing my SOC (#659) hat! But in my defense it IS the last FULL week
in July, for whatever that's worth. In my earlier life as a gainfully employed contributor to society I developed custom software for a variety of applications on government funded R&D contracts. There was the "bid the contract" delivery date, there was the "mid-contract dog and pony show and why we're running behind but we WILL make the scheduled delivery" and, finally "well it's still buggy but we gotta get it out the door before funding goes away" delivery date. And I can spell "calendar", must have been a Spell Check lapse ;(- Doug W6JD -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Craig Rairdin" <[hidden email]> > > According to my calender next week is the last week of July! > > What calendar is that?
