Mp-wp bot testing and production prep. Due Tuesday [Estimated time: 12 hrs | Actual time: ]
Final prep for mp-wp bot. I have got the LAMP up and running on prod server. ((I was not used to CentOS so it took some extra wrestling)) I still must stand up bot on prod server and test. I also need to make sure that the log archives I give to MP this time around are A) in the format he is expecting and B) all the logs that he is expecting are present.
Mp-wp bot delivery. Due TBD [Estimated time: ? hrs | Actual time: ]
Once the testing is complete I will ping MP in #t to coordinate a time when we can
Gales build, install, and write-up. Due Sunday [Estimated time: 8 hrs | Actual time: hrs ]
Time permitting I would like to continue the Gales install.
Spend time researching remote work /abroad work opportunities throughout week: Due Sunday [Estimated time: 1 hr | Actual time: 1 hr ]
Ongoing.
Total estimated time: 21, total actual time:
Timings on tasks per day
Things that I need to think on for future weekly plans:
- Install Gales
- Penance article series (Two articles remain)
- mp-wp bot ‘spillover’ of code review / testing
- mp-wp bot install guide once review / testing complete
- Recode auctionbot’s “check if previous line was an announce” check to the auction announcing (I know what this means at least, even if that was not well stated…)
- Finish auctionbot autobidding
- How to make the most of my current geographic location
- Other remedial/learning debts that need paying
- Somewhere down the line I’d also like to slim down my archive-process and publish it. As of now it relies too much on python where it doesn’t need to; lotsa kludge, etc.
Sounds all right, basically the focus of the week is on mp-wp bot testing, deployment on the production server and hand over to MP. Still: wasn’t there polish and xmlrpc-something-or-the-other, where did those go or what did they turn out to be or what? Don’t make mysteries out of bot works, it’s a poor fit and there are plenty of better mysteries around anyway.

There was a fix to the xmlrpc.php that I don’t think has been vpatched yet, though I suppose this isn’t critical to my primary aim right now.
As for the polish, I think I’m just going to focus on making sure I deliver to spec. It is true that I could go on forever polishing in this manner and that I’m not going to magically write great code overnight.
