Status Reports
Status: Summary (2023 - March)
(Text as at 30/04/2023 01:06:14)
Rationale for this Report
- This is a summary report with links to my various on-going projects. Detailed progress is shown on the sub-reports.
- This summary report should highlight whether my focus has become unbalanced or otherwise inappropriate to the achievement of my major goals.
- As these reports are rather a pain to generate, I now produce them quarterly, rather than monthly. I’ve also improved the automation and am reducing the amount of narrative comment.
Projects in Progress
- I have ten projects on which I would like to spend my time, which is too many. I currently split them into three groups.
- The first two groups always have effort planned, but the final group in general does not, though for this academic year all but one of them has a token one hour per week each.
- The first group relates to my primary (project) life-goals; the second relates to lesser things I really want to address; the final group1 relates to those I’d like to look into if I get ahead on the other projects.
Primary Projects
- Personal Identity2: This is the subject that ought to grab most of my attention, as it is the topic of my yet-to-be-completed PhD Thesis3. I need to achieve something in philosophy, as this is the only one of my endeavours that promises a professional outcome (in the sense of being one of more than merely personal interest).
- Web-tools4: This project is intended to assist with the prosecution of philosophical research. It is fundamentally an enabling project, though one I hope will have general metaphilosophical implications. The other projects are test cases of the method, as well as worthwhile studies in their own right.
Secondary Projects
- Philosophy of Religion5: On and off, this represents the main preoccupation of my adult life (work and family aside). Eventually, I intend to follow up in some detail interesting topics from the Philosophy of Religion module from the MA in Philosophy and Religion at Heythrop College, London University that I tasted at the end of 2010, though nothing much has happened in the last decade!
- Music6: Improve my competence as an oboist. I have managed regular oboe-practice in my new den for some time now, and recommenced oboe lessons – approximately fortnightly – in September 2018, though these ceased with the pandemic and have not recommenced. I have also purchased an electronic piano – also installed in my den – so hopefully some progress will be made on piano-playing, though there’s little time for it.
- Languages7: Gain at least a rudimentary understanding of 24 diverse languages – for practical and philosophical purposes.
- Bridge8: I still want to become an expert player but have recognised that this isn’t going to happen without it becoming my main priority, so I’m effectively just playing for fun.
Other Projects
- Consciousness Studies9: A supporting project for both Personal Identity and Philosophy of Religion. An essential element of any critique of transhumanism.
- Chess10: I returned to the chess scene in September 2018 and played regularly for the Billericay first team in the Southend and North Essex Leagues until Covid put a stop to over-the-board games. My ultimate aim is to improve my standard of play so I can perform acceptably, but I’m currently just treading water, especially as there’s little over-the-board play to be had.
- Mathematics11: Revive / improve my mathematical competence with a view to the use of mathematics as a tool in my various other projects. Also – now that I’m 69 – useful for keeping various bits of my brain functioning12.
- HiQ13: Enjoy and contribute to the intellectual society of ISPE and Mensa. Mostly in abeyance, though I re-joined ISPE14 in 2017 and have maintained my membership into 2020, but can spare no time to speak of for taking part.
- These projects are (approximately, in their respective groups) in order of decreasing priority, yet in practise the amount of effort expended on them has failed to respect this.
- I have ignored the various infrastructural elements of my life in these reports – in particular family life (including the grandchildren!), household management, general reading, culture, current affairs, walking the dog and such like.
- However, these “non-project” items – especially the dog, and formerly the house15 – tend to be time-consuming.
- This report and the sub-reports obtained by following the links immediately above show the current status. The report headings show the period the reports are for. Earlier reports can be found by following the links in the “Table of Previous Versions of this Note” further down this report, or in the sub-reports.
Actuals & Planning
- Actuals
- In 23Q1 I spent across my various projects 671 hours (1181.5 hours YTD) – where by "YTD" - Year to Date - I mean the academic year commencing in October 2022. "Actual versus plan" was 99.6%, (92.5% YTD).
- I worked hard during 23Q1, nearly achieving my target hours. However, this was largely down to – wait for it – and overspend on Bridge, largely at the expense of my Thesis and Webtools Projects.
- Otherwise the balance of the various projects against plan over the last quarter was mostly as I’d like. Low priority projects lost out.
- The tables of actual versus plan are on separate pages, accessible below16:-
- For detailed breakdowns of time spent this year, by month and by study location, follow this link17.
- For a report by sub-project of time expended since my records began, follow this link18.
- For tables of Actual versus Plan, together with the high-level plan for the next quarter, see this page19.
Planning
For the next quarter – while still trying to accommodate the acculturation of our puppy Bertie – I’ve decided to increase the average weekly total plan yet further to 59 hours. I hope this will be achievable, despite the distractions, as some of the projects (Music, Bridge, Religion, Languages) are fairly light-weight (at least as I approach them20).
Consequently, I’ve retained the planned effort for my Thesis at the reduced level of 18 hours a week, which is less than it ought to be21.
I’ve retained the time allocation for my Web Tools project at 7 hours / week, though there’s a lot to do.
Philosophy of Religion has also had its time allocation retained at 7 hours / week. I’ve finished reading through the Qur’an in English but want to do some background reading before attempting a second pass.
A point of continual but useless regret is that – now at 34 hours / week – the time allocated to my relatively unimportant priority 2 & 3 projects exceeds the 25-hours’ effort devoted to my priority 1 projects.
I’ve decided to continue to try to play the oboe properly, and improve my general musicianship, and have increased my Music allowance marginally to 5 hours / week, the extra hour being for running the Enigma Ensemble.
I’ve marginally increased the drastically cut time allocated to Languages to 3 hours / week, as some of the otherwise “fallow” time while walking the dog will require concentration while Bertie is still a puppy.
My intention has always been to restrict the effort on Bridge, and focus on the philosophy of Personal Identity. Historically, this resolve has seldom come to anything, except when I’ve stopped playing bridge altogether, though I now believe that for me Bridge is sufficiently enjoyable and relaxing to be self-justifying. I’ve increased the allocated hours to 16 hours a week in order to play twice a week and fulfil my various administrative responsibilities. We’ll see what the situation turns out in practice.
I’ve retained a nominal 1 hour / week to Chess, Mathematics, and Consciousness but HiQ misses out.
So, the weekly plan (increased to 59 hours) for the next quarter is as below:-
- Priority 1: 25 hours
- Personal Identity: 18 hours.
- Web Tools: 7 hours.
- Priority 2: 31 hours
- Philosophy of Religion: 7 hours.
- Music: 5 hours.
- Languages: 3 hours.
- Bridge: 16 hours.
- Priority 3: 3 hours
- Consciousness Studies: 1 hour.
- Chess: 1 hour.
- Mathematics: 1 hour.
- HiQ: 0 hours.

Detailed Interim Activities
- As these reports are now quarterly, at best, I include a link to a brief uncommented list23 of what I’ve been working on since the last report (ie. this one). It is generated automatically from my time-recording system.
- I’ve recently added a fuller YTD List24, useful for getting a handle on what – if anything – has been happening to the minor projects.
- Their main utility (to me, at any rate) is as a quick jumping-off point for the various writings in progress or recently completed.
- The lists will, in general, be updated every few days.
Plans for the Near Future25
- Below is a sequence of long lists broken down by project. However, as an innovation this quarter, I’ve decided to add a small subset of these as a ‘top dozen’ (or thereabouts) items that have been bugging me and ought to be completed in the coming Quarter.
- This list is not to include long-term on-going items, so doesn’t necessarily reflect the highest priorities; just things I want to get out of the way. The list is not to get longer and longer, nor are items to sit on it for Quarters on end.
- So, in no particular order:-
- Complete converting all my Thesis Notes to the latest format.
- Import all recently-acquired pdfs into my database, Notes reading-lists and Thesis Chapters.
- Complete documentation of Coxes Farm Repairs26 (Phase III).
- Move password management to Bitwarden.

- For Thesis / essays: the difficulty here is the need for linking passages to make the text run smoothly.
- As part of the Cross-Referencing project, check out the consistent treatment of Note 87555, which should be universally ignored. Recently, links to it appeared on web pages Book_Summary, BookPaperAbstracts and BooksToNotes, as a Note referencing a Book. The critical item was a row on the Note_Book_Links table.

In-Page Footnotes:
Footnote 1:
- Since the contents of the groups changes over time, this justification for their segregation isn’t entirely accurate.
Footnote 12:
- Mind you, the mathematical bits didn’t function very well in my youth, so what hope is there now?
Footnote 14:
- Due to administrative confusion, I needlessly took their latest entrance test. After chasing them up I was told I “passed with flying colours”, but could get no more information.
Footnote 15:
- The situation with the house turned out to be much worse than we first thought and we appointed Bakers of Danbury to sort it out. Things have gone well, and the three phases of the work have been completed. We’ve given up seeking redress from the surveyor.
- Coxes Farm hails from the start of the 16th century, or possibly earlier, and is very “wonky”, requiring continual maintenance.
- In December 2017, a base to roof crack appeared in the render at the front.
- Subsequent investigations revealed that the frame at the front – which had been added in the 17th century – has rotted away, so the front façade was held up by the brick infill and an impervious cement render, the cause of the rot.
- The front of the house has now been rebuilt, as has ¾ of the rear.
- A third project was to rebuild the lower part of two side walls.
- I’ve written a Blog Item on this saga, with some theoretical thoughts, which I hope to have published in the Listed property Owners Club Magazine due course. Documentation of Phase 3 is awaiting completion.
- The main outstanding issues are with the roof. I don’t seem to be able to find anyone to fix them.
Footnote 16:
- If these link to the wrong version, ie. the current one, you’ll need to go the “previous versions” and select the correct one.
Footnote 20:
- This is – on the face of it – rather absurd.
- How can reading the Bible in the original languages – and learning 23 other languages – really be ‘lightweight’? Even Bridge is the most intellectual thing most bridge-players do. Likewise music for musicians.
- What I mean is that there’s not a lot of original thought required of me, and I don’t really aim to excel.
Footnote 21:
- 25 hours / week represents the amount of time that I’d need to spend if I were pursuing my research part-time at Birkbeck – which would be something like 5 hours / day, 5 days a week.
Footnote 22:
- Or at least those recently added to my database, in the case of electronic items that sometimes arrive too fast to be catalogued immediately.
- As my purchasing has now dropped to a relative trickle, I’ve extended the selection range to cover the last 6 months.
- Some of these are random purchases from charity shops, or presents. Others are selectively purchased in support of my various projects.
- Poverty and lack of space is severely curtailing my purchasing power.
- The categorisation of my books has got out of hand, but follow this link for an alternative – categorised – list of recent acquisitions.
Footnote 25:
- In the light of the segregation of my projects into three tiers, items for tertiary projects are only to be addressed if everything of higher priority is in shape.
- If there are any changes to this list between quarters, they will appear in the Priority Task List.
Footnote 42:
- I used to itemise in this Note an ever-growing list of items accummulated over time, broken down by Chapter and Note.
- However, now both Chapters and Notes are getting into shape, there is no need to list these items again here, so they have been cut after checking they are covered in their place elsewhere.
Footnote 43:
- This list could get very long, so restrict it to 3 books!
- I'll replace these with new ones when completed.
Footnote 44:
- There are rather a lot of these, so some will have to be skimmed.
- There were a few more on less central topics.
- I hope to whittle these down as time goes by!
Footnote 46:
- This list used to get inordinately long and has been culled.
- Ensure this doesn't happen again!
Footnote 64:
- Note that Backup_Prune_Ctrl deletes (relevant) pages that weren't regenerated in the last full site-regen, but this isn't the same thing.
Footnote 65:
- See Sistrix
- This used to be called Optimizr, see Optimizr (Defunct) (which now auto-forwards to Sistrix).
- A quick look doesn’t show it to be an obvious scam, but I need to double-check.
- An unsolicited analysis of my site turned up monthly from Optimizr from January 2015 to October 2017, listing a large number of “problems” that I think I know about, but which are in the queue to address.
- It restarted in February 2018, under the Sistrix name (this seems to have been associated with Optimizr since November 2015).
- The free version of this software is restricted to 1,000 pages, which is a very small proportion of my Site, though I may be able to point it to difference base-URLs.
- But I do need to address the problems validly itemised, and a sub-set is still useful.
Footnote 67: Footnote 69:
- Well, maybe with the occasional holiday, and excluding days on which I have the Enigma Ensemble.
Footnote 70:
- I don't intend to present these for the Trinity exams, as I can present Orchestral Audition pieces instead; but they are essential for technique.
Footnote 71:
- I've yet to decide which to present for the Exam, so this long list will get whittled down in due course.
Footnote 72:
- These are just the ones from the Trinity schedule that I happen to have. Some look rather fearsome.
- The only one I've had assigned is the Second Movement of the Saint-Saens.
Footnote 73:
- The earlier grades are very elementary, but I need practice writing musical notation.
Footnote 74: Ie. The following:- Footnote 82:
- And consider migrating from Chess.com, though I renewed my membership at the end of August 2020, but downgraded from Diamond, costing about £80, to Gold, costing about £24.
