Tuesday 27 March

Anu: trying not to get involved with the house situation, catching up on the online stuff, setting up new developers, prioritizing stuff I need to get done in the remaining days of the collective and preparing for takeoff.

Monday 26 March

Anu hitch-hiked to Christchurch (in 5 hour nonetheless :) for a break from the collective over the weekend, ended up in an last-minute bunny-eared CS meeting with local surfers and found a surprise new recruit for the Tech Team :) (as this day had to have some entry plus I've been busting my ass off for the past 2 months and was NOT intending to do much CS stuff but ended up doing it anyway. Some of us still take updating the community of what's actually getting done seriously - sorry but party-stories do not count)

Not_Bill: Worked on and completed Logo Design Brief with Jen.

Thurs 22 March

Not_Bill: Worked on Logo Design brief, misc content and graphic editing in collective wiki.

Anu: the daily grind of tech&amb&etc related communications, some coding and missing yet another dinner + hatching plans for an escape ;)

Diane: packed, stored my bike and trailer, turned in my leased laptop, and said goodbye to everyone. I will continue my work from the US.
