- Up, breakfast, somewhat groggy from falling asleep on the couch while coding.
- Poked at various bits of code throughout the day, mostly spent finding way to make better use of what little time i have for coding nowadays. Found a snippets plugin for vim that says it will behave like TextMate snippets, so I’ll be checking that out soon.
- Various mundane bits throughout the rest of the day that aren’t worth mentioning since they’re basically the same as every other day.

- Filled in for the PMO representative on the all SCRUM meetings today. Will do so again on Monday. We keep notes from the daily standups, so that’s what I did.
- Spent the rest of the morning after that looking at an issue that’s currently affecting the field. Found a fix (just configuration) and passed that on to the support group for them to finish up getting the two restaurants affected going again
- Some more work on my GTD app in the evening. Started on the UI. Perhaps I’ll have some thing in a week or so.

- Lots of meetings at work today, in fact, most of the morning was taken up by them between SCRUMs and an interview with a candidate for one of our Linux Application Developer positions. Poked at source code to try to figure out the various file formats and input/output flows of the project that I’m currently working on. Ran around in circles, mostly.
- Got the rest of KDE 4.1 proper compiled. Need to get on extragear and playground now though.
- Lounged around in the evening. Read another chapter in my “Practices of an Agile Developer” book. Lots of good stuff in there. Hopefully I’ll finish by the end of the weekend.

- Work most of the day. Today is my one year anniversary with Pizza Hut. SCRUMs in the morning. Paired with another developer between SCRUMs and planning meeting in the afternoon. Installed OpenSUSE 10.3 on my pilot test box. Got much farther in getting the software to build, but still some issues to work out.
- Started on my Fedora 9 reinstall during work. Started recompiling KDE 4.1 in the evening. Got through kdelibs, kdepimlibs, and kdebase. Thank you icecream.

- Up and off to work. Poked at our software to try to get it to build on OpenSUSE 11.0. Gave up at the end of the day. That box will get OpenSUSE 10.3 tomorrow. gcc 4.3.1 was just not going to work with our 10+ year old code.
- Home in the evening, spent a couple of hours attempting to install OpenSUSE 11.0 on my laptop after seeing the prettiness at work. Although very pretty and the install being very fast, it was basically unusable for reasons I don’t remember. Laptop will get Fedora 9 again tomorrow morning.

- Up and off to work. Demo of NX as a remote support tool for the restaurant helpdesk in the morning. Well received. Spent most of the day working on getting OpenSUSE 11.0 installed on a box that I’m using for a pilot project. We don’t work natively on Linux boxes at work (yet) unless we’re doing testing. The majority of development is done via PuTTY or VNC sessions, but as we start to do more GUI stuff, that won’t scale too well, and I think we can be more productive anyways, so I’m getting to test it out and see how it goes.
- Home in the evening, playtime with S. and then some more work on my GTD app, then off to bed.

- Committed the C++ stuff late in the evening, then off to bed.

- To the pool with the girls in the morning. Water was a bit too cold, so we didn’t stay long.
- Messed around with my bugzilla data import, gathering ideas on how and where to make improvements. Specific ideas that anybody has can be logged at bugs.kde.org. it has it’s own bugzilla product

- Slept in again. I love weekends. Leftover birthday cake for breakfast. Can’t go wrong there. Poked at more new bugzilla stuff. Might be ready soon.
- Home Depot and Lowe’s in the afternoon looking for cabinet pulls and knobs. Found some we liked, decided on one after we got home and got to see them on the cabinets.
