+First, let's take a look at the outstanding items on the list, in mostly
+arbitrary order:
+
+* Cuntoo is [still screaming][sched-cuntoo] to be tested, with ebuilds
+ for various stuff to be added etc.; Stan even [sent][btcbase-1900589]
+ a neat little laptop for me to test it on, although I'm most probably
+ going to have to run the actual bootstrapping on a beefier machine, on
+ account of the GCC [6->5->4][btcbase-1757349] fandango.
+* FFA is [still screaming][sched-ffa] for a (re)read.
+* Ircbots (deedbot, auctionbot, feedbot and others) are still
+ [disconnecting from Fleanode][sched-ircbot-disc] without even
+ reconnecting -- even though
+ [the code is there][ircbot-genesis-195]. Trinque is
+ [still looking at this][btcbase-1908753], there has been some
+ discussion on that [Freenode issue][freenode-issue] without much
+ action, and overall this particular issue with the bot remains
+ unsolved.
+* Speaking of this, there has been some discussion of
+ [logging everything on IRC][btcbase-1904208]; this sounded like an
+ interesting item for my list, but [Lobbes][lobbes] is going to
+ [look into it][btcbase-1910423].
+* Adalisp is [still screaming][sched-adalisp] to be turned into a proper
+ useful thing.
+* The forum has seen quite a lot of discussion of gathering together a
+ set of [Common Lisp WWW tools][btcbase-1910762], since these seem to
+ be sorely needed by Republicans; they include e.g.
+ [Drakma][sched-drakma] (also used by e.g. [Feedbot][feedparse]), but
+ also a [HTTPtron][btcbase-1910753] (which Lobbes will
+ [also][btcbase-1911562] look into) and a [CL-WHO][btcbase-1911349];
+ really, I should have been signing that since [way back when][053],
+ but oh well, better late than never.
+* At one point Mircea Popescu came with the idea of implementing an
+ [image pastebin][btcbase-1900506], which really, could just be a
+ [file pastebin][btcbase-1911344]; item needs to be properly specced
+ and implemented by yours truly, for now we know it depends on the
+ HTTPtron item.
+* My blog software is [still screaming][sched-blog] to be genesized,
+ signed etc. This depends on a couple of WWW items being published
+ first.
+* What else? Well, there was some hardware stuff I was going to look
+ into at some point, there's stuff I want to translate, old logs I want
+ to read, plus other cultural debt and others that oughta help me get
+ on my own two feet. Did I miss anything?
+
+As the reader can see, the list is considerably large, not even
+accounting for all the things that I don't remember. Thus, I will plan
+not for one, but for two major items for the following period:
+
+* WWWisms: a. studying Hunchentoot, possibly other HTTP servers, and
+ syncing up with Lobbes on this task -- one of us will have to publish
+ a genesis sooner rather than later; b. rereading [CL-WHO][cl-who] and
+ publishing a genesis. Based on my previous experience with said items,
+ I will give a generous estimate of two weeks for this.
+* Specifying and estimating the time needed to implement an image
+ pastebin: shouldn't take more than a week, really (although really, it
+ could take as little as one day).
+* Getting Cuntoo bootstrapped, or, at the very least, publishing some
+ experimental results on this: hard to say, running the scripts doesn't
+ take long, but I'll have to read them, understand what's going on
+ there and so on, so I'll give this another week.
+
+Ok, three items. So based on the estimates above, I should be back here
+about next month this time, although experience shows that delays often
+occur, either because of imperial business trying to swallow me whole,
+or due to [urgent stuff][gutenberg] popping up -- I suspect there's not
+that much of a difference between the two issues, really.
