Filled out the template with more info from KB. This is coming along. Now waiting on a couple of sets of info to create personography entries, then we may be good to go.

On late duty.
Beginning serious work on the eXist XAR for the static build. Created the collection.xconf and updated the ant buildfile based on what we learned from Mariage. Took the stopword list from the 100 most common English words on Wikipedia; it's hardly EME, but we'll probably tweak it later as we see how variants appear. There are 35,450 files to add into the XAR, and it's 762.7 MB in size; we'll see how long it takes to deploy such a monster.
Helped GN set up the new TV, and got the condenser mic working for video-conferencing. The TV's own speakers are sufficient, probably, but I've connected the others anyway.
Finally out of older events in Paus and finished at 1.9.8 today, moving onto 10. Established use of "confidence" ratings which I will have to at some point go back and integrate in events I have made earlier.
Hours: 9:30-3:30 (6)
Due to Pausanius being a compulsively inaccurate historian, I have been quickly background checking the events I am creating of his accounts.
We have decided on using the element "confidence=" with a 0-1 rating to give the next person on the project an idea of how accurate Pausanius is. I background check every event (quickly) and am looking for at least one reliable source that is not referring to Pausanius in order to determine validity. I have used "1.0" as absolute confidence that the event has taken place and "0" if there is no evidence. Most events fall somewhere in between.
Correspondence of various sorts related to room booking and finance.
