Bleah.

As an experiment this year, they want to do two demurrage trial runs.  The plan  is to send the first one to one of the remote printers in our office.

To be more precise, the remote printer in my office. 

This 1960s-era impact printer is not the quietest piece of equipment we own, and when they send this stuff off to print it will likely go through three full boxes of paper.  That should only take it [pause for quick mental math] most of the day.

Fucking lovely.

Not.

[Edit]

Gah. And now I just discovered the hard way that they changed my default printer on the last system update they pushed down. I wish I'd noticed that before I sent a confidential document off to print.

Pondering

My online story archive (cleverly hidden at http://www.plonq.com) is currently populated with ascii/text based versions of my stories. In many cases those have been skimmed directly from the Usernet groups where I originally posted them.

I am thinking of updating them - in some cases fixing spelling and grammar mistakes that have bugged me for years. I am also thinking of changing the actual file format to something other than plain text, and I figured I'd pick your brains here.

What format would folks here recommend? Some of the ones that I am considering are:

DOC (probably Word 6 - there are endless free utilities out there that will let people read files in this format)

RTF (not too many people out there who can't read this format)

PDF (this one is my current front-runner)

HTML (this one would be the most painful)

OTHER (this is where you folks come in =)

Note that this is just for my web page. Anything I post to LJ or Usenet will still be in plain text.

Suggestions/ideas/fish area all welcome.
