Morning (6h):
- 0.5h warmup
- 2h log + blog reading + responses, or errands
- 0.5h breakfast
- 1h reading: alternating days of discretionary vs. work and forum-related ((Half an hour at a time was just a tease and I didn’t once manage to stay in the limit.))
- 2h write for blog + break
- 0.5h flex
Afternoon (5h):
- 0.5h lunch
- 2pm – 4:30pm project work + #o chat window
- 1.5h focused project work time
- .5h walk or exercise (start by 6pm)
Evening (5h):
- 2h dinner
- 1.5h flex
- 0.5h blog prep
- 0.5h journal
- 0.5h winding down
This indicates 4-6 hours for project work on typical days. Subtracting 4 for weekly review and planning and 4-6 for social time gives 18-34 in the week.
Project tasks
1. Prepare for presentations: 15h
2. gbw signer development: 5h (time permitting)
3. musl outreach suggested by MP. I haven’t committed to anything yet but time is a factor; would need to better figure out what’s involved. (time permitting)
4. Ask questions about proposed V and clearsigning changes. I spent some time trying to make sense of that discussion, making some headway but questions remain both philosophical and technical. Thinking to test the waters first in #o. (time permitting)
Other notes
The conference is on Thursday and Friday covering much of the work day. I’m guessing I won’t manage any blog writing those days.
My sleep cycle advanced about 1.5h last week; I’ll stick to the gradual ratchet.
Re musl outreach, it sounds to me like you are overthinking it really: find a place where you can talk to them/leave a comment, write there ~we’re using this for a lot of things, not least of which our consultancy business (link), we think unicode is such a thoroughly bad idea as to undo all the good musl is otherwise providing and we will certainly never “upgrade” to a version that brings unicode in; happy to discuss why here or on my blog or on irc (#ossasepia / #trilema) at any time. What else do you expect/think is “involved” or what is it that you don’t have clear enough on this? You know, not ~everything requires thorough consideration before the tiniest step, there’s quite often time enough *after* that first step that allows also for a much clearer view otherwise of what/whether there even is the need for anything further.
Project tasks sound fine and priorities right, I don’t see any trouble there. And certainly ask questions/test the waters at any time (and on anything really).
