Behind again, but for a good reason

Last week I was so busy writing for work I got behind in LJ again.

The assignment? Create some kind of MS Windows-based online help system for a product. I was handed this task last Tuesday with a deadline of Friday, but preferably Thursday.

Given my background (primarily UNIX with some Mac), this is like the equivalent of saying, "We want you to learn Farsi or Arabic, but we don't know which, even though they look alike to us. Oh, and by the way, you have to be fluent in the "right" language by Friday."
( How I accomplished this task. )
