Results of covering all shorts:
(except Officemax which is in PofQ not in
my paper trading account)

RHD lost $220
DNA lost $40
ERTS gained $400
GOOG lost $375

Net net, plus commissions, lost ~$300 say.
Not nearly as awful as I expected thanks to ERTS.

I do these paper trades by eyeballing a guestimate price
around 9am pdt. Even when I do real trades I am on and
off the computer in less than ten minutes, usually
around that time in the morning.

Not off to a great start. (This is a three month
experiment which runs concurrently with the real
$40k being locked up in short term certificates
of deposit).
