Recovering from flu meant a week of mostly broken days, but still got a lot done and more importantly: got better.
TORREON is more or less finished with the client accepting the work into their own repository now.
Tuesday we had an board meeting with Open State. I added my thoughts to Emma Mulqueeny’s post about social entrepreneurship and the long game. We are struggling with the same issues but optimistic.
I had a meeting over at Netzpolitik for our upcoming joint venture with Open State as well.
I wrote this blog post about real thinkers anywhere on the continent1: “Who still thinks in Germany?â€
Finally I had a nice coffee with recent Berlin arrival Jurriaan who I think is a great addition to the local tech scene.
On Saturday I dropped by the extra Apps and the City hackday and turned my python hack into a javascript version for better distribution and graphical presentation. The javascript community disappointed me because there wasn’t a graph based A* solver available anywhere, so I was forced to write my own version using the Wikipedia pseudocode and underscore.js. That now lives on Github. It still needs a bunch of work.
Further I also updated my Thinkup installation to the most recent beta and my Dreamhost account to a VPS but still haven’t gotten it to work properly. I’m hoping that outage does not take too long.
