    Seriously. Next twelve months I think. I’ve been able to shorten it dramatically, which has been my objective. So I’m ready.

    Propertariansim or really, T”he Law of Nature” will be like the Odyssey: a poem, forever evolving through iterations of minor improvements. I will never be done with this completely. So that I why I must publish it online. So that it is not fixed and static while I still live and breathe.

    (I need to find a safe place to write for six months. Spartan is fine. It just must be clean warm air conditioned, so my health doesn’t decline. I thought that should have returned to Connecticut and done it. But I do not believe I can write there. I would be better writing in campsites or coffee shops. But a static environment is bad for me.)

    Now, after a year of testing the water, we are (us) starting to go public.

    If each of us goes public, this is probably good for some time. Other than the fact that we all tend to exploit market opportunities in our own niches.

    My feeling at present is that we sort of need to present a group front, at least in the least expensive way.

    The reason being that there are enough of us in enough areas to form a movement, and call it the new right.

    I have three very deep posts in progress.

    1) on the properties of law perfect law

    2) on economics that one of our Spanish speaking friends asked me to write weeks ago.

    3) on why conservatives speak in hyperbole.

    I promised myself I would try to do some serious writing today. But between sleeping late (because of vodka), my car full of Ukrainian women in bikinis, and these wonderful people trying to get me drunk, I am having a very hard time.

    I know. I know. First world problems. 😉

    For the past year a small group of us have been working on transforming propertarianism from a science into the status of religion over which no temporal authority may transgress without invoking violence in it’s adherents.

    Our concern is that this formulation provide such a counter to mysticism, Judaism, islam, pseudorationalism, and pseudoscience, that western man can act with equal and better organized suppression of these deceits.

    This is one of the reasons that while the philosophical work is done, the aesthetic and moral is something we are trying to construct.

    NEW FEATURES IN OVERSING.

    Don’t remember if I’ve talked about it, but we’ve added freelancer market features to Oversing. This means that freelancers can join, you can put tasks, jobs, projects, into the marketplace and ask for bids or proposals on them. People can submit proposals, including their own task list, story collection or project plan. And then book time, expenses, and issue invoices, and make payments within the interface, just by creating each kind of task.

    It’s pretty awsome.

    It’s more awesome if we can ship it. lol

  • CURRENT TOPIC I”M WORKING: CLARITY ON METAPHYCIS OF TIME, RATHER THAN JUST ACTIO

    CURRENT TOPIC I”M WORKING: CLARITY ON METAPHYCIS OF TIME, RATHER THAN JUST ACTION

    Metaphysics: Time

    The most effective conservation of energy is to save time.

    We expend energy to alter events in new state we would not have in current state.

    In this sense we’d not produce but we save. And inventory what we save.

    We can understand that as farmers we would adapt our thinking to production an d inventory rather than as hunters to capture and save.

    But it is the mental concept of hunters that is correct.

    We act to reorganize and save.

    We capture this difference between expenditure of energy and capture of energy

    We expend some of that energy as heat and the rest as action, and attempt against nature to inventory the rest, and invest it in more of the same actions as possible.

    And the reason we have been so insanely good at everything we do is that cooperation (Organizing) is so disproportionately rewarding because the concentration of energy is so rewarding. And because the use of information via cooperation, trade, and money and now post-money substitutes has assisted us in ever larger concentrations of energy/effort.

    Man transcends to god hood by outwitting the universe’s course of events

    Our ultimate expression of this strategy is to effectively stop time for all but the energy we consume.

    ***So just as truth exists in the greatest informational parsimony short of tautology, perfect transcendence exists in perfect energy parsimony short of the stopping of time***.

    We are no longer farmers and no longer need be subject to the metaphysics of farmers.

    Savers of time. And as such the savers of energy.

    For humans, time and energy and mass are synonyms.

    Adding new features to Oversing.

    Having a blast.

    Refactoring a bit.

    Making classes for the panels.

    The workspace is kind of ingenious.

    Just should be organised better.

    Leak is gone on the server but still a little locally related to websockets. It should follow the gmail method of extending the polling time in Fibonacci or geometric rather than constant.

    Haven’t coded full time in a long time and so I keep mixing syntax from different languages but it’s getting there.

    OVERSING UPDATE.

    I’m working on a feature that Max originally recommended: auctioning work.

    So you can take a ticket/task/story/deliverable, and set the skill requirements. And then publish it to the market, where people can bid on it.

    You can view bids, and accept them or not.

    Likewise you can search the market for work and bid in it if you have the skills.

    The workflow designer has a stage (column) type of market. Anything in a market stage is visible in the market.

    Got it working. Now I’ve got to make it beautiful. ;). Thankfully our designer has done good work.

  • OVERSING UPDATE (mostly back on my feet again) Roman and the guys are importing

    OVERSING UPDATE

    (mostly back on my feet again)

    Roman and the guys are importing data and bug fixing at our first major client. The client says it’s going well. I’m certainly excited.

    Today

    1) My team is trying to understand the system so that we can add the new panels for ‘auctions of work’ so to speak, and searching for talent to do work. Right now you search primarily by skills and availability. But we want to create the option to search without concern for availability, and to show the profile first, and the schedule only if wanted. Why? Because freelancers and contractors are a major part of the creative and technology industries. And when you resource your staff you try to increase utilization (schedule driven) and when you resource contractors you have a larger pool of candidates to draw from that would make schedule driven user interface challenging.

    2) Moving us off of some ‘custom’ build code and onto contemporary build processes. I’ve wanted this for two years. Finally got it in just a few days of work.

    3) Trying to unwind the mixture of js/php/html/css that seems to have crept in some places (omg you gotta be kidding). We are also running into a terribly difficult problem optimizing the javascript. Our original design loaded only js that was needed. But today we need to optimize by condensing it. This is going to take quite a bit of incremental effort over the coming months.

    4) Someone has allowed another javascript bug that’s sent the browser into constant leaking.

    5) Me, I’m writing the project plan, the stories, working on minor presentation bugs, and adding the new financial entities to the product.

    Cheers
