futile efforts

I'm sitting here in the Electronic Classroom. Nobody else is around.
Nobody's been around at all today.
I'm working on getting the "new" CLH working enough so that we could
possibly try using it this year, so it gets at least an acid test of
sorts.
I keep running into problems with the converted journals (converted from
old format to new format).
The stuff is just being recalcitrant, and a uVAX II is just not fast
enough to do the multiple iterations needed to get the journal files
into readable format.
I feel like I'm wasting my weekend trying to get this stuff working, and
I'm not even sure we will get around to using it this year.
To make things worse, I am not blameless for the delay in getting things
running, and that makes me vulnerable to the wrath of others, a position
I don't like.
Not to mention that CLH has sucked up all my free time for the last two
weeks, leaving no time for other, loftier pursuits....
