The resistance encountered trying to find people IRL last week has been incredible. There’s a definite tension between the everyday activities being rather pleasant in the sense of having a “Uruguay sin filas”, but the absence of meaningful movement in the streets has a surreal, absolutely absurd quality. Frankly Uruguay is seeming relatively boring and first world compared to the reports from afar. With the global supply lines looking iffy I went through the pantries, organized them, looked at where the consumables come from, and just about everything is local, Brasilero, or Para-rotary-guayan products. I did however stock up on imported canned liver pates, for the reasons that they are good and if the hysteria does dial up further here having a reserve of nutritionally dense stuff in the pantry seems prudent.
Work on the new thing continues. I got AWStats running on it, I went on a commenting spree to place links, I got a new image for the header, and published a number of items despite the difficulty of finding things happening that aren’t overwhelmingly tainted by corona-hysteria. It is too early to say if this is a great start, but it is a start.
Planning
Keep hammering the points from the last plan and try to get to something like enough of a routine to start actively budgeting the time. I’ll also be picking up a voice recorder for interviews because handwriting can’t keep up with voice bandwidth and voice doesn’t produce logs in the way IRC does.
Kind of curious what the review & plan are for the next week and what the commenting spree and “hammering” turned out as results.
