whaack_temp_trav: ^ watchfuleye was my nick for fleetbot on alt comp
whaack_temp_trav: anyways, cya tomorrow jfw
jfw: and who doesn't love a watchful eye dropping in to say hi!
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2020-01-13#1015190 - quite so, yes.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-13 19:14:37 jfw: dorion: I also don't use spellcheckers except on occasion; my attitude is it's better to improve the brain-proofreading capacity first because spellchecker will never help with eg. "discuss with your further the cost". Perhaps they're most helpful if viewed like a teacher; they're not 'fixing for you' but pointing out mistakes so you can learn. For CLI environment I've used "aspell".
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2020-01-13#1015188 - tsk; any "preparing" of the dragging feet and other parts variety is to be logged under "worshipping stupidity" (or "wasted time" if you must) and then see at the end of the day how much you work and how much you waste-worship. If you don't count it/fail to record it, simply calculate it by ruthless subtraction but there is no time "not spent on anything" because it just ...
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-13 19:04:25 jfw: I've noticed that one time-stretching self-delusion I'm prone to is "I haven't yet sat down and logged a start time on task X, thus I'm now 'preparing myself' or something and can drag feet and it totally doesn't count as time spent on X"
diana_coman: ... not possible.
diana_coman: whaack: ahaha, it is that reptilian eye too, isn't it? enjoy panama and do take pictures for the blog too!
whaack_temp_trav: diana_coman: o.O yes it must have been that reptilian eye
whaack_temp_trav: diana_coman: i'm well under way to enjoying panama, i had a great time meeting up with dorion. the camera has been firing
whaack_temp_trav: jfw: i messaged you on heathen comms. i'm going to go out for a bike ride sans electronics so i'll check in with you when i get back.
jfw: whaack_temp_trav: I have not received; might need to check you're using traditional sms or phone call and not some facebookism
whaack_temp_trav: jfw: kk
diana_coman: jfw: how's the feet dragging going?
jfw: diana_coman: for today I've sidestepped it by scheduling other things that really had to get done before my writing. I'm setting into that now.
jfw: I see also I avoided ack'ing the worshipping stupidity advice, though I read this morning.
dorion: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2020-01-14#1015211 << the pleasure was mine. looking forward to picking up and continuing tonight.

jfw: I will step up my detail of time recording by having all the time logged as something, at least as exercise for while this problem is ongoing.
diana_coman: jfw: sounds good.
dorion: jfw does your log catch up include a response to bvt's gales installation report ?
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-12 00:57:19 jfw: bvt: thanks for the testing and writeup too and I will follow up in comments there.
dorion: cool, thank you.
jfw: I've made slow headway on the drafting, but I'm falling on face again as far as getting it done. whaack's arriving momentarily. Will get back to it either tonight or more likely first thing tomorrow.
bvt: diana_coman: i liked your CG map post a lot (lots of nostalgia), and will try to follow in the comments - rendering technology was what brought me to programming when i was in high school, so it will be a personal story/brain dump of a sort.
