Mp-wp bot testing and production prep. and delivery. Due asap [Estimated time: ? hrs | Actual time: ]
I have no idea how long this is going to take, tbh. I’m currently way behind and stuck on a rock atm but I need to get this figured out as priority # 1.
Let Dorion know if my Gales install will slide from my Jan 31st deadline. Due Wednesday [Estimated time: ~0 hrs | Actual time: 0 hrs ]
It probably will have to slide tbh, but I’ll hopefully know more as the week progresses re: how much.
Auctionbot fix. Due Sunday [Estimated time: 3 hrs | Actual time: hrs ]
MP has called on me to fix this asap, so I need to dedicate some time this week to do that. It has been a while since I touched that code, but I believe I just need to write a piece that checks the log table to see if the last message in that chan was from the bot before announcing. It should be fairly simple from what I remember.
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.
Do clarify the priorities there and otherwise make *sure* you don’t surprise people waiting on various parts.
That research of remote/abroad work has been going on in principle for quite a few weeks already but there’s absolutely 0 review of it – how is this even possible and how can you exactly claim you spent x hours total on this?

I’m curious to learn more about this btw, when you get the chance. I’ve been wanting some sort of personal auto-archiver.

@Diana Coman
You are right that I haven’t really been reviewing the remote work research effort. I will make a point to review this in my next weekly review.
@Jacob Welsh
I’d love to eventually show you what I got, but I warn that it is very ugly atm. I wrote it waay back when I was just starting out here, so it is essentially just a bunch of python scripts stapled together that read through a sqlite db containing loglines, extracts the urls, submits them to archive.is and then downloads the .zips from said archive.is.
I also have a php catalogue set up where you can see what’s been downloaded thus far (though the actual .zips are not hosted anywhere yet).
