Commitments:
1. Continue health insurance search: 3h.
2. Keep in touch with past students + remote friends and family: 1h.
3. Continue conversation with prospective JWRD client in Vermont: 2h.
4. Discuss to clarify direction, focus, scope, priorities for JWRD: 2h.
5. JWRD tasks as needed (eg. if documents show up to review): 2h.
6. Blog: priorities suspiciously little changed from last week at trb build system patch, gbw, gscm, router setup, differential backups. But could be anything if it gets the ink flowing. 10h.
7. Continue work on human-sized differential backup tool. 5h.
8. Unexpected tasks: 6h.
9. Chat in #ossasepia, or otherwise engage blogs: 5h.
10. Weekly review: 2h at 16:30 UTC Friday (12:30 local).
11. Next week’s plan: 1h.
Time permitting:
12. Continue TRB/bdb/boost study. It seems I didn’t quite convince myself to put this down and did a bunch more reading already. If I’m doing it anyway, I can make it more active by reporting on questions, interesting finds, or ideas that come up.
From here, it looks quite simple really: trb is what you actually find the most interesting thing to work on; you naturally keep space for jwrd as you hope it will start moving (although starting to be rather apprehensive whether it will); the health insurance thing and the blog writing are on the list mainly because “they should be” but there’s not much motivation you can find to push through with either atm.
Anyways, to avoid repeating the same list next week – what are you going to publish by tomorrow (Tuesday) evening?

@Diana Coman: sounds about right. It does feel great to get those articles done, so I just need to keep at it.
Plan update: replacing #7 with remote training infrastructure setup (video conferencing, shell accounts).
