<p>In an ideal world, we would have a beautifully drawn up survey and

detailed guidebook descriptions of everything ready to show at the BCRA

conference (September). Although we are getting better, it is in fact a
|
|
|
|
|
struggle to get these before next expedition. Life is made particularly
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
difficult when bits of data and description arrive in dribs and drabs,
|
|
|
|
|
meaning a lot of piecemeal updating. By the time the majority of expo members
|
|
|
|
|
are back in Cambridge, it is at least two months since the return home, all

2004-04-22 21:43:17 +01:00

urgency has been lost and memories have faded. To avoid this, <b>think</b>:</p>

<p style="margin-left:20px">Did you have to leave Austria without finishing your sketching ? Use the

2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00

as soon as possible - don't leave it to the start of next term when your

2004-04-22 21:43:17 +01:00

<p>Is <b>the only copy</b> of any survey data on your computer? Get it backed up,
|
2004-04-22 21:43:17 +01:00
|
|
|
preferably including copies to other people involved. Multiple disc failures
|
|
|
|
|
have caused total loss of the Kaninchenhöhle dataset once already, and
|
|
|
|

backup to another site saves almost infinite grief.</p>
