It is time again to revive the weekly status updates. Originally these were created by me and specifically for me that I could see that tasks were being completed and that if they weren’t, that I would be publicly shamed into being more diligent. However after I left Spain in May 2007 it seemed pointless to carry on with the updates on a weekly basis, as I didn’t have regular employment, tasks, schedule, or really anything, even up until now. So it was changed to “Intermittent Status Updates” and updates came when pertinent and, at best, intermittently.
This week, the first accomplishment was that I found a place, signed a lease, and now have keys in hand. I had sent out an email update saying that I was moving a few days ago, but as nothing happens too quickly in Spanish culture that has been postponed until Sunday. Moving won’t be difficult, I have naught but a backpack full of essentials and a box filled with non-essential books, clothing, kitchen supplies, and etc..
Secondly, I did my first ever round of english tutoring last night. I gave an hour lesson to the son of my former Spanish teacher. She’s even rounded up a second possible client for me if I feel I have time.
Thirdly, there have been meetings to attend, software updates to apply to the websites I “master” and glitches in the software that powers the websites that have needed to be diagnosing and repair. I am trying to get onto doing some redesigns, but as our web presence grows more and more of my time gets consumed in maintaining what we have.
And as it’s been a while since I’ve made any sort of Public update, I’ll include an event from last Friday. Myself and Mikell (The Assistant Director) hosted an all night video game party for the youth of my church (ICE Renacer) as well as a few other friends. We had almost 20 people show up and connect to the LAN to play Counter-Strike between 22:00 and 08:00 Saturday morning. It was a lot of fun and most people made it straight through the night and some of the kids even made it right through the next day.
