Accept no meetings days

I operate a policy of having days in which I try hard to not have meetings. If you're reading this, chances are you've looked at my calendar and are wondering what kind of meeting takes all day and happens so frequently. It's not an actual meeting, it is a reservation of the day.

When you're operating on the maker's schedule, meetings are a disaster. A single meeting can blow a whole afternoon, by breaking it into two pieces each too small to do anything hard in.

— Maker's Schedule, Manager's Schedule by Paul Graham

Currently, I run a delivery team with lots of deadlines and very little time available for non-delivery work. This means every week I have one day full of team planning and line management meetings, leaving four days open to work. I try to reserve two of those days to do coding and thinking and solving hard problems. Otherwise I get nothing done other than email and meetings.

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

Musiksmag: decent little cafe / bar / record shop in Nørrebro.
Ruby: great cocktail bar.

	// This is basically how the Super Metroid camera worked. Whichever direction you moved, the camera would
	// move in the same direction a multiple of the player's speed. Once the center of the camera moved a
	// certain distance from the player, the camera would lock on the player and move the same speed. Change
	// movement direction, and the camera would once again move more quickly to catch up and place itself
	// ahead of the player's movement.

	// Super Metroid also had area limits and locked certain axes based on where you were. For instance, if
