Engineering
--------------

incomplete: 
go through all the links (and make them searchable)                  
a cooler processing sketch, or none at all.
delete dead blogs

decide on design method... for Processing FFGL

complete:

Web
-----
 Redid header for EF blog. Element Future needs some serious revision.
Search function isn't working (likely hasn't been indexed yet) but when it does, searching EF and links from here will be handy. Added Google Calendar. Added date stamp and live clock JS.

FFGL
-------
Becca digitized Processing/FFGL notes and annotated them with SDLC methodology definitions.
Chatted with B about FFGL and discovered vvvv thread. Asked B to research embedding JNI inside of C++. B found a tutorial for embedding JNI into C++ (linked).

Reviewed SDLC with Becca and compiled notes for Processing FFGL development. Current action is implementing a general life cycle, and decide on design method...
...documented in the Google Docs folder by linked correspondence with IB.

Business
--------


incomplete:


respond to posts on http://www.bandjob.com/
respond to events and promotions
find contact for barcade

Emailed JK and JJP to peek at CT (this will be useful  for project descriptions).
I set my alarm to ring every 3 hours. 6 AM is silent.

received this email:

"Events and Promotions is looking for people in  Colorado Springs to work wine and spirits events.  You must be out going  and good with people. Jobs usually run 4 hours and are on the weekends.  I pay $25/hr per event. If you aren’t in Colorado Springs and this  sounds like this is something that you would like to do, let me know!"

I'm wondering about pursuing it from my current location. <<< Can I pursue this? >

Heard about Barcade from J who says I can gig there.

"Engineering and Business are the trending topics in my mind, which I know means I am procrastinating from music and subsequently art."
"The all night sessions are fun but can be detrimental."
"It's well enough time to quit the banter and cut to the chase."
"Being novice doesn't help the anxiety."
"I enjoy the puzzle. I will keep these posts short and to the point."

iPhone battery died. Up late, too tired to start something. <<< Time to recharge >

Made black beans, lentil, and cabbage.
Ate a pepper sandwich.

Blogging should provide valuable feedback for time management. In the future my efforts are more concentrated and concise. My primary activities are divided into three areas which converge into one:

  Music (audio)
  Art (visual)
+ Engineering (interactive)
_______________________________
  Business

How do individual objectives within the Art category fit into Business objectives, etc?
I have so many of these thoughts...  logging them will increase productivity.
I need to break my creative process into sections (prep, cook, serve).
This blog makes EF seem bloated and  ineffective.
email (Exchange server) and requested password. Password was entered.
Web log setup and themed. New contact created for mobile logging.
