Guv, we're probably gonna need those emergency funds.

It's been over three weeks since I originally asked the NC State Board of Elections Voter Outreach Team for the mobile unit schedule, and two weeks since NCDMV Commissioner Kelly Thomas promised to send it to them. As of today, there's nothing on their web site.

It must be more difficult than I imagined to post the schedule to the web. Maybe it's something about the format.

Last year's schedule was in Excel. Perhaps it's difficult to translate an Excel worksheet into a decent web page. Let's find out.

I'm going to take a page from last year's schedule and see if I can post it to the web, and if I can, how long that would take.  When I'm done, I will post a link to the schedule in the comments section. Ready, set, go.

  1. 18 minutes. I would have finished sooner, but the lousy Wix HTML "app" would only allow me to paste 8,192 characters of code. Time to find another platform!

    I pasted the code into a Blogspot page.

    Total process: save Excel worksheet as web page; view source; copy HTML; open new blank web page; click source; paste code.
