Messed some with zzzzz two days ago, the form for firms who send workers to the sanitary checkup. By coincidence, I underwent a couple of those, while I was teaching. The education staff gets there every two years, but in my five years I got there only twice - I'd say my school was scheduled for the year when I was in the army so I skipped then.
Did the initial state routine for main ledger and in Acc157, because the law says that every calendar year starts from scratch, just with this carry over entry. Which doesn't make much sense if you mean to use computers to run your business, you may need previous years' data to make decisions, but this is not business, this is accounting. The fuck is that the data would need to be in two places then... and in the end it turned out the older data weren't needed at all.
Sat on sezam until 02:45. Mentioned electricity restrictions. They do publish which zone is without power at what time (the rhyhm was supposedly 20 hours on, 5 hours off), but they do it on local radio which mostly plays narodnjaci, which I can't stand long enough to hear the schedule. So I listen to radio 100 of Novi, my end of town is in sync with their 6th zone.
I have heard that the Đerdap hydroplant on Danube is working 24h a day but all the power goes to the Romanian side. We owe them or we sold it, whichever.
To Hungary over Horgoš.
These days, I see, Brlja did something around main ledger, some routine to stuff three zeros in front of the customer's ID, and to remove that ID from any items which are not analytics (which is just about eight accounts - buyers, suppliers, interest, borrowings, some kitty pots for workers' mutual aid and such). There's a version of the start routine for zzzzz on 2nd, some things in the goods accounting for Bangro and EnergoPro (and then copied to a few others as needed, this is workorders and tax tarrifs). Which makes it hard to trace what and when was done for whom, as we strived to generalize things, have the least difference in versions between customers. We saw to insert a zipper* wherever we could. Likewise, the generator of installation floppies for DentoSys was called rsndn (rani svinje, ne diraj ništa - feed the pigs, don't touch anything - from another joke).
On the first of february I translated the GSQ.prg so it could be used at home as well, by popular demand from Avai. In catal6.prg I added the option to use numeric and date indexes, though catching the keypresses and translating them into values was a bitch. In PolC, a small routine got spawned, to send a patient to the Pécs scanner. Why send and why print the accompanying paper, when they have the scanner in Gemenc? Maybe because in Pécs they did MRI too, but then you could send a patient to do simple scan without it. This was exactly the small thing which stained the purity of the general app - who else would need that? So this would be one thing to remember to remove from the general edition, if it ever gets installed anywhere else.

* it's this joke which either Joška brought, or recognized how it was a programmer's joke.
A lady comes to an unlicensed plastic surgeon to have her... ahem... a little more narrow - she just remarried, and her new husband likes it tight. No problem, 100$.
Next year, she comes with an opposite request - remarried again, new husband likes it loose... no problem, 100$.
And so, year after year, she had the same surgery back and forth. About seventh time, the fee was 1000$.
- Why so much this time - you said it was a routine surgery?
- That's the point, my lady. I'm an artist, I certainly don't want to get into routine. I've installed you a zipper.
The text of the joke was there, verbatim, on the website of Avai as of 1997 or so. A few years later, when I created sGradlj.com, this was the first among the programming jokes (with an explanation, for each of them, why is it a programmers' joke), which gradually grew to about a dozen. Yes, it includes the rsndn too.
