At the end of last year I updated the site&#8217;s PHP version so WordPress would work, and it broke MediaWiki, so I&#8217;ve been troubleshooting in my spare moments. My next thing to try is installing it from scratch and importing the old data.<\/p>\n<h2>Productivity<\/h2>\n<p>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>I organized the Emacs part of my cheat spreadsheet for Org.<\/strong> I&#8217;ve added some commands from familiar Windows programs that are equivalent to the Emacs commands, but there are plenty that don&#8217;t have Windows counterparts, at least not in software I use. This week I&#8217;ll add the Org commands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m trying to be more regular about improving my productivity system.<\/strong> Looking at my life over the past couple of years, I&#8217;ve been impressed with how much small changes can build up, and so I&#8217;d like to keep the snowball rolling by intentionally looking each day for improvements to make to my system. Last week one improvement was a new routine timer to capture some of my miscellaneous evening tasks, and part of the new evening routine is to practice cleaning every day, since after I replaced housekeeping in my elastic habits, I went back to putting it off.<\/p>\n<h2>Housekeeping<\/h2>\n<p>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>I ran my new Roomba for the first time.<\/strong> It was a Christmas present from my parents. I set it up a few weeks ago, but after that Roma was just sitting on her charger waiting for me to work out how to clear the floor. So that was Sunday&#8217;s housekeeping project, which took a long time because I constantly stopped to make notes of what I was moving to where so I wouldn&#8217;t have to think about it in the future. It was interesting to watch the Roomba <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/home\/kitchen-and-household\/this-is-why-your-roombas-random-patterns-actually-make-perfect-sense\/\">follow its path finding algorithm<\/a>, but it seemed inefficient, retreading some areas and missing others, so I&#8217;ll try walling it off so it can spend its time on one room. I also need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instructables.com\/Roomba-avoids-black-color-pattern-on-rugs\/\">mess with its cliff sensors<\/a>, because it stops at the edge of my black-patterned rug, apparently thinking it&#8217;s an abyss.<\/p>\n<h2>Food<\/h2>\n<p>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>I sampled <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.bigelowtea.com\/Bigelow\/black-tea\/Assorted-Blends\/00192\">Bigelow&#8217;s assorted black and green teas<\/a>, and other teas are growing on me.<\/strong> My default score for tea is 3, and this set was a solid 3, but I think my sister&#8217;s observation was right, that I tend to like mint, and the Perfectly Mint Classic does get a 4. At the same time I notice myself gravitating toward certain &#8220;bland&#8221; teas I&#8217;ve tried, like Earl Grey, so I&#8217;m starting not to trust my initial impressions, and I&#8217;ll need to rethink my scoring criteria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website \ud83d\ude10 I&#8217;m fixing the wiki side of the website.
