Housekeeping
:relieved:
I spent the week researching MagSafe charging devices. It took longer than I expected. I had meant to wrap it up quickly and return to software development, but that will have to be this week. But now a continually charged phone is in my immediate future. Having that take the whole week convinced me to space out my purchases instead of waiting every three months.
Programming
😐
This week in my software development notes I’ll look a bit at software requirements. I won’t worry about posting what I find unless the inspiration strikes me.
Productivity
🙂
I listened to Automate Your Busywork by Aytekin Tank. It’s about how anyone can use no-code tools to relieve them of many repetitive, everyday tasks. Ideas for that kind of automation pass through my mind regularly, and the book motivated me to stop putting them off.
I’ve reorganized my projects schedule to add another productivity iteration. The unfinished parts of my system have been wearing on me, so I’ll take a month and see what I can do. That’ll start next week if I don’t extend software development again.
Nature
😛
Some blackbirds harassed me. I was minding my own business, identifying trees, and a couple of red-winged blackbirds started swooping and rasping at me. I assume they didn’t like how close I was to their nest, wherever it was. It happened just like this:
Video
:thinking:
I began researching alternative sources for the DVDs in my Netflix queue. Their DVD service is ending at the end of September. It turns out most of my queue is easily available on streaming services or at the library. A few are harder to find. So far the series I’m in most danger of missing out on is K Street, so that’s what’s next in my queue.
