My weekend was amazingly productive.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I got a bit of cleaning done, but spent most of my day at the computer. Doing various updates to websites I maintain, catching up with emails that I had neglected (my inbox is almost empty!). I got caught up with blogs and news sites. I worked with Speaking of learning, it’s amazing how much I’ve learned at work since I started. And I’m so excited to be translating this new found knowledge into new projects. It’s really amazing what you’ll learn in a month of “getting hands dirty 40 hours\/week job” that years of tinkering never made clear. Have I mentioned lately how awesome it is to be working exclusively with Linux? What was I thinking when I believed I could be satisifed with an accounting job<\/i>?<\/p>\n Today I was equally as productive for most of the morning. I finished the last curtain for my office during the Ubuntu-Women meeting this morning, it’s so nice having a sewing machine table that I can plop down next to my computer so I can knock off some lines in IRC between stitches. I have quite a todo list for the UW group right now, but I’m resting peacefully knowing that most of it is organizational stuff that when completed will make other things run more smoothly. I have no illusions about my ability to put so much work into a project like this, I know I can’t keep up this pace forever. In the future I see big organizational projects coming one at a time, much easier to handle.<\/p>\n Today I also had a conversation with an acquaintance (who found me through my blog, how many people read this silly thing?) about a perl project and php project that is under way and they need help with. This comes with all sorts of strings attached and a serious committment to the project and the community in the long term, but it’s what I love, and I’m going to grab at every chance these next few months at least to brush up on perl and php.<\/p>\n Then perhaps because my brain was tired of learning and working and I came down with a pretty serious sinus headache this afternoon. It sucked. Most of it is gone away, but if I move too quickly I realize it’s still hanging about. I am not the biggest fan of this time between winter and spring.<\/p>\n Finally, I hate DST, I’ve been all messed up today and I can’t believe it’s 7PM already. I’m going to need to set my alarm clock in the morning so I don’t roll out of bed too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My weekend was amazingly productive.
