[CL-WWWism][cl-www-summary] work, I've come to the conclusion that
it's wiser to use whatever Republican infrastructure there is than
attempt to reinvent the wheel out of arbitrary considerations. And
-although I think I made the right choice, this doesn't mean I should
-throw all that other stuff down the drain, so...

So, as a first step I published all that code I've been studying
and/or using for a while: [Hunchentoot][hunchentoot-genesis], some
Now the first week of October is almost over after using up a good
chunk of my time to [document my latest trip][targoviste], and another
good chunk to lay out the plan for this month and write code that I'm
-to publish this month. Thus, for M10, I'm committing to the following:

+the following:
* Week **41**: make my MP-WP blog public and iron out any problems
- that might appear -- I currently have a private instance in place
- and the Wordpress theme is almost there, but I haven't imported the
- old posts, nor have I tested comments, trackbacks, or the selection
- script.

* Week **42**: publish a bunch of MP-WP-related patches, the more
important part being an importer for [thetarpit-lbs][tlbs-genesis]
posts into MP-WP.
-* Week **43**: read, play with and sign Asciilifeform's

[logotron][logotron-genesis]. Ideally I should be able to stand up
my own logger by the end of said week, but I'm [still

+ undecided][logz-1000287] whether to attempt using the [cl-irc
logger][logbot-genesis] as a backend or switch over completely to
the Python bot. As mentioned, spykedbot still has some usefuls in
its bag, and I'm still wondering whether I should just port that to
the current Republican bot.
-* Week **44**: Speaking of bots, I've a few ideas to improve my
- [Feedbot][botworks-patches] maintenance workflow, including
- auto-connection and further decoupling of the "checker" (the part
- which makes HTTP requests to RSS feeds) from the "announcer" (the
- part which sends out IRC notifications).

Finally, this is the last post on this "half-a-blog"
