It strook me as brilliant in its clear and straightforward communication, it is definitely fuel for my motivation to move on with the software projects in Debian Design. +However, that is now what I have been working on. Well, indirectly I have, +since I've spent two days working to bring down the update waiting time +for the editing role on the website [Byvandring.nu](http://byvandring.nu/). +I have also created a first draft of [a tag pool for +Vejviseren](http://byvandring.nu/vejviseren/arkiv) the [blog](http://byvandring.nu/vejviseren) +of the site. All created with the [Ikiwiki](http://ikiwiki.info/) compiler. +I also fixed a few things that has annoyed my eye for a while. + +Like many other projects, this website is a work in progress, a prototype, +a place where I practice and learn. There are things that work well, +others don't exactly work well, but I'm on it. The author uses it +actively, and sometimes I also get to do some artwork. It's essentially +gratifying. And then the annoyances. I am on them with renewed enthusiasm. + +About the annoyance, I need to work on that more. I tend to get annoyed +with all the things that could be better. My designs, my routines, +my skills. I get so frustrated, that I sometimes explode and take it out +on Jonas, and so I did this week. Our relationship survived, however. + +I've spent two more days on a brochure design to be presented next week. +I'll share it when it's done. + +I'll create a routine to share more of my work. + +During the week I had half a day in Holbæk. I went for a meeting with a +former colleague from the small publishing group Fjordliv, I was a member +of a few years back (it's closed now). She has a book on the way, and +invited me to set it up for her, which I'll be happy to do. I love +designing books. + +This week my choir, Orøkoret, started the new season. Every thursday evening +I'll be occupied singing and socializing with other local voices, endorphins +flowing. + +I had been looking forward to a lamp making course saturday, but we were +supposed to be outside, and it was raining, starting half an hour before +and continuing for the rest of the day, so we called it off, and will try +again next saturday. + +It's been a rainful week, and I have spent about an hour every day cutting +grass with scythe, raking and moving those small stacks of grass or pulling +burning nettles out of the soft, wet ground. + +##What's next + +Coming up is a meeting with my co-developer of design solutions at Friis-Holm +Chocolate. He and the owner are old friends, but hard to get at, because +of the busy life at the chocolate factory and the many conventions they +attend. So now we have decided to meet regurlarly, but shortly, every other +week. I'm convinced it will speed up our development time and also be +even more fun and interesting. We have a lot of designs on the way, but I'm +most excited to show him the bochure, it's really something. + +Monday I'll join a course on sociocratic methods in local development projects. +This is related to the project [Mejeriet](http://mejeriet.oroe.dk/). + +Yoga classes start tuesdag. I need this. I want to get back in my habit +of doing the five tibetans every morning, and my teacher is a strong advocate +of that particular habit, so I get to get a push in the back every week. + +Also a meet-up in the local artist network is scheduled tuesday evening. +An exhibition is on its way, and we have two books on the way, which I am +designing, and have been putting off for a month now. The time has finally +arrived to restart those processes. + +Saturday will be the lamp workshop. + [[!tag blog english free_software activism politics]] [[!taglink Aral Balkan|balkan]] |
