Yesterday (Sunday) was a decent day; I posted my first
article on Advogato and it received a few responses.
Chatted a bit with my wife and her classmate Anne
(Portuguese) regarding Palm, Handspring, etc. Doctor types
certainly seem to have an understanding of technology in
general, but do not always see the extremely simple ways it
can be meshed into their lives, enhancing patient care and
reducing the amount of time they must invest in certain
repetitive tasks.
Spent a bit of time reviewing the work of others; made a
few comments and posted their materials where they can be
downloaded. Some people continue to impress me as they
pick up new skills and start to farm their own ideas more
directly.
Worked with khemicals on the Free Software Directory
documentation; initial internal revisions are now complete
and the materials have been directed to the sponsoring
body... all is well.
I am ever amazed at the number of sight-unseen work-unseen
job offers people receive when they resign from their
volunteer projects ;) If one knows nothing about your
company, what would make them want to work there if they
can tell you have no idea what they have done in the past,
what skills they have, or how they would fit into your
company? ;) Headhunters can be humorous in their vast
generalizations and classifications.
Have a bit more e-mail to respond to today from the weekend
mailbox.
Tinkered a bit with Spruce; more
testing of Spruce slated for today. Excellent mail client.
Monday is a holiday in two states in the United States; Maine and Massachusetts. The
holiday is "Patriots Day", which marks the
anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord on
April 19, 1775 (the beginning of the US war for
independence).
Since I am in Maine, this will likely be a day of free
software work :)
