I fully expect this to kick my arse – which is exactly what I need.
1. Summarise #o logs. Comment on things I’ve learned. Publish. (3)
2. Read. Wrap my head around the logger-link problem; publish my thoughts on what the issue is, and possible plans of action to solve. Ask questions, if necessary. (2)
3. Search Republican blogs for guides on setting up TRB. Publish article on plan of action. Ask questions, if necessary. (2)
4. Review today’s agenda; publish tomorrow’s agenda. Have this done at least 2 hours before bed (1)
The logger-link problem in a nutshell is this: get the full list of links for #trilema loglines from my old logger (there’s the full dump on my site) and then make a script (possibly some curl involved as well) to find on trilema.com the corresponding correct link for each. Match them and produce a full record, similar to the one I published for #o. And sure, read, poke at it and ask as needed for clarification.
For your benefit: the way “scripting” or in general automating of computer tasks goes is that you first figure out *manually* how the fuck to do what needs done and only *then*, once you know inside out how to do it, you instruct the computer (aka you write the script) to do it as many times as needed.
And where did the classics fall down the wayside anyway? Pick one, get yourself a nice edition, set it in the way and at least *look* at it daily, it won’t bite.

Review
Still physically tired; might still be recovering from over-training a couple of weeks back. Will lower caffeine intake from 300mg to 200mg; eat more calories (especially protein – 1g/lb body weight) and wind down before bed. Mentally, feel like I’ve got brain fog – I think this is mostly a result of physical tiredness, but may be a bit of dusting off the cobwebs/actually using brain again, after a long break.
I got into a bit of the classic loop of “Oh, no, I’m behind – I’ll worry about that rather than do work!”, but it was mostly a head-full-of-cement/exhaustion thing that hampered productivity. I’ll rollover missed tasks to tomorrow, and respond properly to Diana’s comments after a good night’s sleep.

Wrt the classics, I went from “I want to learn Spanish”, “So, move to Spain!” to “I’m not in Spain, so can’t yet learn Spanish!” :P
