circle around, do it again
I had finished up the writing, entering the data into the csv file, and first the draft figures for the Swedish Historical Museum steatite artefacts for chapter 3 of my thesis, so there was only importing the csv file into google earth to get the location symbols showing with the correct colour and shapes for each of them, then copying the improved version of the maps into the figures, and write up the figure captions left to go. Sounds easy. (or, at least it did to me)
So this morning I sat down to do that, and worked quickly through the first few. Then I hit a snag.
The csv file had a problem with a handful of the data--it looked like a chunk of samples got their location information copied over another chunk of samples, but not in a predictable sort of pattern, so I have no idea how it happened. So it took a big chunk of today to look up the ones that were plotting in the wrong place, copy their correct location info into the csv file (I still had the original google earth locations saved, so I could just make that layer visible to go get the numbers) and then do the other above mentioned steps for those regions.
Now I think I am past the problem area, and have made it through most of the figure caption writing. But now it is closing in on 23:00, and I have put in a nine hour day on this, so the last few figure captions can wait till tomorrow.
While I did that Keldor made some progress on the outdoor cat area in progress, which is coming together really nicely. I would have loved to have helped with that project, but he is able to do it himself, and he can't help me with the thesis writing, so we split up and conquered the day.
I did manage to get the nettles I had picked and put into the dehydrator yesterday packaged up. Now we have one full glass jar. I would like a couple of more before summer ends, to be certain we have enough to last till spring.
