What do I do?

I develop ideas into products through creativity and software craft.

I come up with ideas rapidly
Work with teams and individuals
Gather feedback early and often
Test with users to improve results
Automate to save time and scale.

I create art, and 
I trade

Who am I?

Hard to even understand the question and I was the one who asked it.

Maybe look in a mirror?

ll782's Issues

Draft a profile README

Why

  1. Because there is value in self discovery
  2. To help with "norming and performing" stages of group development Tuckman's Stages of Group Development
  3. To help other collaborate with me

What

  • Draft a profile README for @LL782

Notes

  1. I'm drawing from three sources of inspiration for this README:

    1. A colleague's profile README
    2. GitHub's docs on customizing your profile README
    3. The manual of me concept

  2. Edit the README here

Intention and results

  • I'd like to see an improvement in the quality of my collaborations (tough to measure)

Ensure we have a documented comms strategy

Why

  1. So we don't have to think about the process when it's time to run it
  2. So take a course of action that's had a bit of thought go into it
  3. So we have a draft that we can iterate on

Start winding down hosting gig

Why

  1. I want to leave all the existing relationships happy
  2. I want to rid myself of the responsibility to host other people's websites (except Tom)
  3. To then focus on DC5B as the only side gig

What

  • Reach out to Barbara and let them know what's happening
    • Make plans to move Legend hosting onto a direct account with Greengeeks
  • Ensure there are no other accounts dependant upon me

Notes

  1. Tasks from this ticket can carry over to #24 if the time box is stretched

Finish overall design for profiles

Why

  1. For a congruent presentation of who I am and what I'm doing
  2. To make it easy to write bios, descriptions, etc
  3. It helps me to meaure success in the right way

What

  • 100. Articulate who I am and what I'm doing on each of my accounts
    Let's use a single field in the database to do this and leave the specific texts and images to the implementation stories
  • 200. Enable

Notes

  1. See design work in Notion > Ponder > My profile – Laurence “DC5B” Lord
  2. See database in Airtable > Profiles > Accounts
  3. 100 can be done in a single field in the database

Update "LL782 Patreon" profile

Why

  1. For congruent profiles across the internet
  2. To be ready for attention and scrutiny from strangers
  3. To make it clear that I am a professional software developer with a side hustle selling my artwork

What

  • Update the text for this profile
    • Update about text
    • Update name and creating text
    • Tiers sections need work
    • Remove YouTube link for now
  • Update the images for this profile
    • Profile image
    • Banner image
  • Keep the profiles DB up to date

Split out into separate stories

  2. See Milestone and Project for further context
  3. https://www.patreon.com/LL782 and https://www.patreon.com/LL782?fan_landing=true&view_as=public

Gathering money from alt business

Why

  1. We need money for growing the new business
  2. It's a good way to touch base with old business
  3. It should reduce distractings from the old business

What

  • Gather up hosting money from LesFilmsDuGeste
  • Gather up hosting money from Tom Knutson
  • Gather up hosting money from Legend

Notes

  1. Arranging regular payments for each of these ongoing is another story
  2. Don't worry about other outstanding payments (Ross, Simon P, etc.) it's just easier
  3. Make this quick and easy

Ensure all repos have representation in the Overview

Why

  1. So The Overview can be just that
  2. To help plan what gets done

What

  • Add The Overview as a project to any repo that doesn't have its own projects
  • Add at least a placeholder issues to any repo that doesn't have an existing issue

Notes

  1. Better than a placeholder is an instruction to do high level planning or create a first few issues
  2. #2 has us covered for the repos that have existing issues
  3. LL782 repos that are dormant or not related to personal projects don't need to appear

Audit all profile output

Why

  1. To enable coordination between profiles

What

  • List all profiles in a single place
  • Decide if they will be maintained or not
  • #28
  • #29

Notes

  1. The "notes" to be collected for each profile at Airtable > Profiles
  2. Work updating the profiles based on this audit can be found #10 #12 and #14

[TOMKNUTSON] Consider migrating Tom's hosting

Why

  1. I had suggested everyone would have to leave my reseller hosting
  2. That's no longer necessarily the case
  3. I said to Tom that I'd make sure his hosting was affordable whatever happened

What

  • Consider whether we migrate Tom's hosting
  • If we are going to migrate, get clear on the plan
  • If we are not going to migrate, get clear on that plan instead

Finish implementing profile updates

This is a direct continuation of #12 with a different list of accounts.

Why

Congruent profiles...

  1. Help us to focus on what we have planned to focus on, and
  2. Help collaborators know who they are dealing with

What

Complete remaining accounts (see #12 for already covered)

Notes

  1. See https://www.laurencelord.co.uk/notes/profile-updates-2022 for public notes about this process
  2. This is a related issue and it would a be a bonus if it got done as part of this #31

Install PCGen locally following the README

Why

  1. Maybe the latest version installed this way will run faster
  2. The docs for using it this way seem to be the most loved these days
  3. The process for keeping your own custom data and updating with the latest version is simpler this way
