Regarding the LW meetup feedback results, I said:
I'll be writing up an analysis of results, but that takes time.
That was a month ago. Since then, I've spent about two pomodoros on it, and didn't get much actually written during those. I have three or four other things that I want to spend pomodoros on, and this has fallen by the wayside.

(If nobody volunteers, I'll try to prioritize this, and I'm increasing the steepness of my beeminder pomodoro goal as of next week (from 7/week to 8, how hardcore am I), so it should still get done.)
