Notes & Miscellanea

Goals Try working on Rederb 2025-02-22 09:30 Now let’s try putting all that hard earned Go theory into practice 09:35, Ooh and before I begin, I’ve finally gotten the confidence to retire the Pi 1 90, which is now free to use as an experimental device :) The rest of the reorg has gone splendidly well. Everything working as I imagined it! Ok no Rederb. Trying to get a music playlist going 13:42, Done. Break 16:33, Backup systems. Schedule, shutdown, complete! Feedback on this post?

Just keep swimming!

Goals Some Golang Client Meeting 2025-02-20 11:00 Making some progress on Golang. Slow going the concept of a golang “package” finally clicked. As long as multiple files share the same package name, as far as the data and functions are concerned, it’s a single, abstracted whole! 2025-02-20 13:30 Client Meeting 2025-02-20 16:30 Some more Go Now I only struggle reading Go code. Instead of drowing and flailing about like I did earlier. Tiny steps Figured out what music I can use as the background, now that neither Classical or songs with English lyrics work. I’ve begun listening to K-drama soundtracks in the background. Keeps me focussed. It’s lovely and peppy and soothing and fun! Feedback on this post? Mail me at feedback at this domain. P.S.

Finding my rhythm

Goal None. Just writing to get back into the swing of things 2025-02-18 18:30 Got quite a bit done, on a day I couldn’t do much. Now that personal issues have gotten handle-able but still take a big chunk of the day, I got meself a different timetable Clearing my mind like this, and adapting my day to new life changes is always a relief. Changed my daily org file to reflect the new state of life Working backwards from the big stones, from what I want done + what I have to do, and then trying to fit what I can in. Soundtrack: Suddenly, Toni Braxton Schedule, shutdown complete. Now tomorrow? The best laid plans of mice and men … Let tomorrow take care of itself Feedback on this post?

Goal Relax and recover 2025-02-06 9:30 Shower thought. When I write, am I a pantser or an outliner? I’m a pantser, a discoverer, who rapidly outlines as soon as he sees the shape of something and then pantses on the outline 😂 10:07: Using git frequently enough, now to start using Magit methinks. Just done package-install magit. Will slowly ramp up as I write more. Aaaaaand I give up. No forgejo support. Also not as intuitive as I thought it’d. (That’s my problem though, not Magit’s) 11:30: Lazygit is it. Reminds me of Norton Commander. Pretty intuitive UI (down to the small p for pull and big P for Push. Reminds me of all the old DOS TUIs). 2025-02-06 12:30 Client Meeting 2025-02-06 17:00 Went to the doc. Now to rest a bit Feedback on this post? Mail me at feedback at this domain. P.S.
