Spent a few minutes playing around with GridSound since it's similar in spirit to what I'm trying to do. #rhymecraft

Spent some time working on #peopleprogramming

mostly a family and research day. I logged a bunch of OpenCV resources (articles and YouTube) and thinking about what to build next with it #mylife

Spent time thinking about how I should spend my time (what I should try to build). #rhymecraft

Kind of scatterbrained today. Spent time chatting with someone who could act as a consultant if I try to develop a module for rally-the-troops.com as a way to build confidence with pure-JS UIs, as a stepping stone towards a second attempt at working on my rap-IDE idea. Also spent some time chatting back-and-forth with a local YouTuber, it looks like my concept for a video won't fit into his particular video style.

worked on some docs tools and trying to get a few automations for grabbing screenshots, termal videos, and a few others that I haven't seen good tools for yet.

I've been shipping like crazy / but so frantic - I haven't remembered to post! Got all the initial modules/workshops transferred over to the temp www.skool.com/design-for-the-… experiment. Getting organic signups! Hooked up some tricky little connectors so those people can access the associated material from the PE site. Did some interviews. Set up an ad campaign. Made a ton of new content. #pe Lets go. I'm excited to get back to "Added clear feature" mode at some point.

Only got ~5hrs of sleep after two double espressos yesterday, so I took a Lycopene capsule...signed up for a LinkedIn Premium free trial so I could send a message to a Kasikorn backend engineer to ask why users can't export their transaction history in CSV format...removed the 'Blog' link on nw.com b/c I don't have the WordPress blog up and I never really used the blog that much, added a link to my email address instead so people can contact me...started going through the Kasikorn API "Slip Verification" challenges...got the first one done...the second one requires I have SSL set up on my domain and not through Cloudflare...discovered while doing that that my whatdo site is returning a 404 if I try to sign in...got GoLand's db tool connecting to the digital ocean postgres db b/c I noticed that wasn't set up yet...install postgres on my macbook b/c something got messed up and somehow it seemed to not be installed...got all the db problems fixed, don't know how that happened...now having a CORS issue when running locally, all this stuff was working, IDK how it all broke...ok I remember now, I YOLO'd the backend code and disabled the existing router to get the Line echo bot working...sent an email to another local YouTuber to ask if I can be in a video with him...installed cursor and tried using it for a simple refactor task to get a sense of how it works...figured out a way (thanks to ChatGPT) to get the Line callback handler working while also not breaking the existing routes...went for a massage to give my brain cells some time to recover...used cursor some more and I get the hype, this is really cool, I'm surprised Jetbrains hasn't copied it yet...after a long while I finally got my whatdo backend working properly again (auth + user middleware working), it was a good learning experience with cursor and Go...got a GitHub Action set up so my DO dokku VPS will update when I push to main, so now both frontend and backend will update automatically when I push to GitHub...ending the day on this banger set: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2340… Tomorrow: I need to bill hours to my client to make $, I want to try to finish the KBank API challenge to see if I can do the Slip Verification, I want to email another YouTuber, if I have any time left over I want to keep going with that Line/ChatGPT bot and try to make a frontend interface for it.

I'm cautious against spending too much time on tech, but yet stretching recent research a bit because it opens up what I can implement #research

Did some research for a new project

working on a new upgrade project and learning a new library to help automate some of it #mylife

Spent some time working on the #cmx1course curriculum

💼 1/2 at home with baby. 1/2 at work. Worked on opengraph screenshot overlays too. made good progress.

Spent some time reorganizing my archive #chores

Wrote out 2 new project outlines: one to essentially build a wordpress-like CMS and one to build out a social network akin to the original MySpace. Planned out a new video showing the very most basic “full-stack” framework you could build while covering all essential concepts. Researched and bought the right mount to mount a new screen behind my wall-mounted camera. #pe Left the office early and took my partner out to some much needed Indian food and Poppyfields. Reading “How music works” (David Byrne)

Spent the afternoon automating some repetitive tasks for BoltAI #boltai

looked at research for 2022 projects to spend some time on

worked on another data importer using the new python spatula library. It's not bad, but proving to be a bit more difficult to get my 10+ year old project synced than I'd like

Opened up my Go project and made very little progress in an hour but at least I reminded myself of what I was doing the last time I was working on it. I should try to spend an hour a day on this this week.
