Young Hands Club

1. Review Robinson’s proposal for insurance company IT report: done.

1.3h.

2. Review 3 health insurance options: 2h.

Missed this; I will do it first thing on Monday.

3. Possible Junto Wednesday: 2h.

2.8h (Zoom worked fairly well, except of course for the traditional drinks and dinner afterward).

4. Help with summer cottage opening Thursday.

8.7h (including travel + breaks as I didn’t track in detail). We put up fences to protect four favored oak and maple saplings from getting munched, turned on the water, tested plumbing and appliances, installed porch screens, and identified a decaying structural beam that will likely need a contractor to deal with.

5. VPS setup for JWRD training: 2h.

I had put this off till Sunday, at which point it turned out to be not yet burning.

It irritates me that I’m still leaning so much on cloud hosting. I might do something about it once living arrangements stabilize.

6. PuTTY setup and docs for JWRD training: 3h.

I determined this won’t be needed this time around.

7. Zoom purchase for JWRD training: done.

.8h, involving the predictable web and credit card awfulness.

8. Mining meetup.com: 4h.

Missed.

9. Young Hands chat, reading, comments: 6h.

4.5h.

10. #therealbitcoin background reading and engagement: 6h. My objective is to collaborate with the old crew if they’re indeed working now to foster a constructive environment and do useful things, or else to have a sound reason why not.

9h log reading + 1.2h chat, through which I found sound reasons enough for me.

11. Blog: 8h.

Missed again.

12. Unexpected.

.6h – found and fixed a treport bug (bare “print;” in awk prints $0 rather than an empty line).

1.2h – fixed a bug hit by Robinson in a TRB block feeder script I wrote a while back. I told him I’d blog the script so he could ask publicly with something to reference, but I failed to do so, making for some later glaring at the growing pile. Therefore I’ll get to it ASAP and include the bug thread so he gets the credit due.

7h – other JWRD related reading and chat. (This should move to expected.)

13. Review: 2h.

3.3h and late.

14. Plan: 1h.

Somehow last week’s late plan, or thinking about planning the plan or whatever I was doing, clocked at 4.5h, split between two days. Seems symptomatic of being generally not that sprightly or focused these couple weeks.

Time permitting:
15. Continue TRB study.
16. Continue work on human-sized differential backup tool.

Didn’t get to these.

Total 44.9h.
