Hey, why not go buy those little round stickers in red and green (any office 

supply has them), and put one on the calendar for every day? Green for days 

when you stay totally on plan...red for days when you had a "learning 

experience"! Or get really fancy and buy yellow too, for days between red 

and green. =P

Reinhard, did you ever upload my NoS stickers? That would be another option 

for people (like me) who like keeping their calendar pretty.

It occurred to me that this daily red/green report was a lot like slashed 

out days, except better, because the red, even though it indicated a 
failure, was useful. It was much better than *not knowing* a failure had 

occurred, which is what would have happened without the test. When you know 

something is broken, you can fix it.
