2008-12-27GoldenGeek: Chasing those Open Loops
I’ve been lying awake since some time after 4 a.m. I think part of it was the aching little toe that I banged against some furniture last night (nice purple bruise there now). I thought a couple of Ibuprofen would help me get back to sleep, but I’m wide awake. It could be the five cups of coffee I had yesterday, breaking my current 2-cups-daily regimen. Although after donating whole blood yesterday, resting should be easy. No, it’s those darned open loops. I started a new attack on raising my personal productivity (and trustworthiness to go with it) yesterday, and now I’m lying awake running open loops through my head about getting rid of my open loops. So I drag myself out of bed at 05:50, make coffee, fire up the computer, and look at what I can do to get those loops out of my head: First I’m thinking about the questions I have about some key proposals for ODF 1.2 at the OASIS TC: digital signatures and what’s the profile for how XML DSig is applied? How is the RDF metadata supposed to work and who is it for? What does it mean to have two ways to lock a table cell? Then there’s wanting to do a belated Friday Cat Picture, upload the photographs of my office as part of my Total Relaxed Organization (TRO) online lesson, capturing some notes on how real-time community journals are inverting the entire news-publishing pyramid, more notes on Seattle weather, organize photos from Mindcamp 5.0 that are relevant to topics I want to blog about, and finally being able to start something on the connection between confirmable experience and system incoherence. Oh, and now some other commitments come to mind, including putting Vicki’s new Kiln Sitter’s Digest blog into shape, prepare backups, and continue customizing the blog for her. I need to do something more pro-active about those loops than blogging about it. I’ve been noodling around checking mail, updating my RSS feeds (for review someday soon), and scanning my twhirl Twitter and FriendFeed streams for items of interest. Well, now it’s 7:30 am and the cats don’t understand why having the lights on in our shared space doesn’t mean breakfast is ready. All right, I don’t need an open loop for that. The cats are seeing to it. Time to feed them now. Then I’ll sit down and get organized. A little. More. Labels: Golden Geek, productivity, trustworthiness Comments: Post a Comment |
