Monday

Continuation of Ebi and first deployment to the server. One of my biggest beefs with Django is that any fresh deploy to a server will cost you at least one hour, despite it being the same old stuff you have been doing for ever (as opposed to App Engine).

Tuesday
#

Ran some updates on Haitinu.nl which is an aid site that I delivered recently.

Continued with Ebi and prepared a talk with the people that run our national transit information site.

Wednesday
#

Done an Ebi brainstorm and progress review in Utrecht.

Then back to Amsterdam for the transit information meeting with @mdebruin, @jelleprins and @alexandernl.

I skipped the douchebag extremism of Social Media Day in favour of a book presentation on journalism by Alexander Pleijter and Arjan Dasselaar in Dauphine which was next to my house (and where a bunch of friends from the ‘Confetti generation’ were checked in).

It was entertaining enough and confirmed again how out of touch with the internet the journalism profession is.

Thursday
#

Inbox management and Ebi.

Friday
#

Did another sprint on Ebi and got out of Utrecht before the match started.

Sunday
#

Had a nice 4th of July BBQ and squeezed in some pre-Monday updates to the Ebi site.

Some posts that had been sitting in my browser tabs for a while combined together in a brand new job guide for 2010. You can also read this as a follow-up post to my previous post on Why developers are important, this is which developers are important. This post has been lying in my drafts folder for a while, but it has actually only become more relevant.
