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. + +[sched-cuntoo]: /posts/y05/082-tmsr-schedule-i.html#selection-144.0-144.5 +[btcbase-1900589]: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-06#1900589 +[btcbase-1757349]: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-23#1757349 +[sched-ffa]: /posts/y05/082-tmsr-schedule-i.html#selection-156.0-156.5 +[sched-ircbot-disc]: /posts/y05/082-tmsr-schedule-i.html#selection-100.0-100.10 +[ircbot-genesis-195]: http://btcbase.org/patches/ircbot-genesis#L195 +[btcbase-1908753]: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-17#1908753 +[freenode-issue]: http://trilema.com/2019/the-freenode-issue/ +[btcbase-1904208]: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-24#1904208 +[lobbes]: http://lobbesblog.com/ +[btcbase-1910423]: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-01#1910423 +[sched-adalisp]: /posts/y05/082-tmsr-schedule-i.html#selection-132.0-132.4 +[btcbase-1910762]: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910762 +[sched-drakma]: /posts/y05/082-tmsr-schedule-i.html#selection-124.0-124.3 +[feedparse]: /posts/y05/087-feedparse.html#selection-300.0-300.1 +[btcbase-1910753]: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910753 +[btcbase-1911562]: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-06#1911562 +[btcbase-1911349]: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-06#1911349 +[053]: /posts/y03/053-i-wrote-a-blog.html +[btcbase-1900506]: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-05#1900506 +[btcbase-1911344]: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-06#1911344 +[sched-blog]: /posts/y05/082-tmsr-schedule-i.html#selection-184.0-184.7 +[cl-who]: https://edicl.github.io/cl-who/ +[gutenberg]: /posts/y05/088-gutenberg-iv.html
