	2006-01-30	Look through The Social Life of Information for possible cogent point about all of this too.
	2005-10-15	From #48.53: The introduction of consistency in 2.2.5 here is a big deal. [dh:2005-11-10 It may be worth emphasizing that later on. If not, we should refer to it in the treatment of reproducibility when we frame that.]

done 0.75 2006-02-03	2006-02-02	Prepare a blog post that provides a digest version of the key ideas on What Computers Know
done 0.75	2006-02-03	i051002f: Correct the permalink on section 2.

done 0.75 2006-02-02	2006-02-01	i051002b: Make i051002f 0.75 as the lastest version.
done 0.75 2006-02-02	2006-01-29	Take 0.50 and make an 0.75 that is stripped down to the essentials. Move anything else to "What Programmers Know" and "Execution Architecture." 0.50 becomes an intermediate draft in which material has been split out.
done 0.75	2006-01-30	Move work items that belong under "What Programmers Know" and "Execution Architecture" there too.
done 0.75	2006-01-30	i051002f: Remove bibliographic citations that are not used here.
done 2006-01-30	2005-11-09	Create a placeholder for "What Programmers Know" so that items belonging there can be shifted over and it can be developed in parallel with "Computational Deployment" or whatever better word I come up with. [dh:2006-01-29 It looks like "Execution Architecture" prevails.]
done 0.75	2006-01-30	Make an 0.75 in a subsequent version to 0.50. Close out 0.50 and prepare to make 0.75 into a complete portion.
done 0.50	2005-11-13	Is it guillemets, "«»", or less-than, "<<"? Get it right. It's guillemets and I will need to be careful about choice of encoding of the web page to have them render properly. I will use Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) wherever I can get away not using Unicode. And the diagrams (fig.4 and others) have it correctly. Wow.
done 0.50	2005-11-13	Get the latest UML 2.0 specifications from OMG and update my sources.
done 0.50	2005-11-13	Do permalinks in Tables 1-2 for the individual entries, but preserve the font colors.
done 0.50	2005-11-13	For Table 1 and Table 2, put in explicit <a name="text"> anchors that work better, probably around the initial <tr> or <td> if possible.
done 0.50	2005-11-13	Center Figure 3 on the page.
done 0.50	2005-11-13	From band 2005-11-11 message, add change the number of the second entry in Table 2 to "2." from "2"
done 0.50	2005-11-13	From band 2005-11-11 message, remove the centering of the last line in Table 1. [dh:2005-11-13 I left that on purpose but it was apparently too cute and I'll get rid of it as distracting.]
done 2005-11-12	2005-11-11	Confirm that the down-resolutioning of i051002d1.png is an error in the caching of it as what is now i051002d1a.png and if not, roll back i0510002d1.png. [dh:2005-11-13 It was a caching error on the client running FrontPage, it was fine on the server and in VSS and on the web as posted to the hosting site.]
done 0.50	2005-11-11	Find a way to have Visio make a larger image of Fig.3 before it is converted to PNG on the page. I can use something larger and then say what I have in mind. [dh:2005-11-11 I accomplished this by taking a screen shot of Visio at 200% zoom and saving that to a file that I then moved into FrontPage. This is not all that satisfying, but much better than the loss of scale that I get by copying and pasting the drawing from Visio to FrontPage. An interesting case of confirmable experience, this is a practice that I will continue for these finally-drawn illustrations.]
done 0.50 2005-11-10	2005-11-09	Do something about Table 1, step 4, to make it less opaque and more direct, anything else to clarify for band as requested in his 2005-10-28 TROST Discussion note.
done 0.50 2005-11-10	2005-11-09	Make the change to Table 2, item 4, that band recommends in his 2005-10-28 TROST Discussion note.
done 0.50	2005-11-10	Make Figure 3 from one of my Visio diagrams with the clear separation of "Is" and "For" realms.
done 0.50	2005-11-10	Find an accurate date for introduction of modern computers and provide a citation to the early history. [dh:2005-11-10 I found an Eniac retrospective that indicates the ERA 1103 was the first to ship. Amazing. (Winegrad & Akera 1996).
done 0.50	2005-11-09	Add the citations of (Bratman 1961) and (Earley & Sturgis 1970) to this article, "What Programmers Know," and "Computational Deployment."
done 0.50	2005-11-09	Stick Figure 1 into a table frame and give it a caption.
done 2005-11-09	2005-10-17	Move items from here to ~~i051003a~~ i051101 that apply to "What Programmers Know."
done 2005-11-09	2005-10-17	Make an ~~i051003~~ i051101 as a placeholder for "What Programmers Know."
done	2005-11-09	Add versions to the <head> titles of i051002c and i051002d, but don't do anything to indicate obsolescence of i051002c yet, and don't hook up i051002 until it is ready.
done	2005-11-09	Clone i051002c to i051002e for drafting of the 0.50 cut.
done 2005-11-09	2005-11-08	Capture the four suggestions from Bill Anderson and make sure they are reflected.
done	2005-10-26	Post the 0.25 that I have so far and invite early commentary while I work on the next steps.
done	2005-10-26	Make sure that the reset of the folio cover is propagated through the rest of it. Oh, sure, update the reset page to make it the latest.
done	2005-10-17	Create a table on what you can and can't do in instructing the computer. (p. #48.54)
done	2005-10-15	Make a scene for playing digital human
done	2005-10-15	Correct the i051002d <head> title to use the correct identifier for that page.
done	2005-10-15	Check all of the permalinks through i051002c 2.2.
done	2005-10-14	Ways it can balance erroneously and not matter, ways it can balance and you're screwed [section 2.3]
done 2005-10-14	2005-10-13	Move the cover material to i051002c and leave the cover material for some sort of synopsis of all this.
