What I Did More technical debt payments. Nothing new to report there. It gets boring at times. I’m also slowly creating a new workstation in preparation for an upcoming trip. Also nothing exciting to talk about there. What I Learned What is exciting to talk about is a new discovery of how societies break apart. […]
2024-05-07 The Technical Debt Snowball
What I Did I’ve been atomizing the groups into their respective domains. It’s tedious work, but I’ve been learning to enjoy it, especially after my Technical Debt Snowball (more in the next section). Plenty of drudgery, nothing interesting to talk about, though I was able to add actionable TheoLogos reading list items instead of letting […]
2024-04-24 Someone Stole What I Stole
I have a severe love of order. This post defies that order, since I’ve been blasting through things recently and wanted to post about it. I told myself I’d do it twice a month. But, it’s my blog, and nobody says I can’t be sporadic, so here we go. What I Did Working through more […]
2024-04-16 A Shifting World
As you may know from the deluge of information, Iran has attacked Israel and that means World War 3 somehow. It’s only sensible to stay eternally freaked-out about everything, especially with election season in play. I mean, think of all the good that anxiety does for us! What I Did Many of my piles were […]
2024-04-08 Absolute Lunacy
Happy lunar eclipse day! Please send me a message for anything I missed about the failed prophecies for the end of the world. Imagine if the lunar eclipse happened precisely 7 months from now! What I Did FRONT-END: Nothing new to report in that domain. You’ll just have to be happy with what I’ve already […]
2024-03-26 Don’t Bother Reading This
What I Did FRONT-END: Absolutely nothing to publish for now. I feel no shame. BACK-END: This has been such a momentous event for me that I’m announcing an accomplishment. I could wait for another week, but this is exciting, and there’s nobody telling me I can’t, so I’ll take the legal risks and simply indicate […]
2024-03-15 Happy Pi(ROUNDUP) Day
What I Did FRONT-END: Some essays for you on computer input/output. These are peripheral to computing and, therefore, easy to output (get it?): BACK-END: I cleared out quite a bit, and was able to clear my Hacker-News-hyperlink-add sidequest at the literal eleventh hour (finished around 11:10 p.m. about an hour ago). Still with the yak […]
2024-03-01 Cogito Ergo Fatigatis
What I Did FRONT-END: I’ve almost cleared out the backlogged content edited a few months ago by my Wooby Goobers. This time, it’s about finding a job in the tech industry, which is an extension of my job-hunting series on AdequateLife: BACK-END: More yak shaving, more free online courses, so whee. I have discovered, and […]
2024-02-16 Happy Cheap Pink Candy Day
What I Did FRONT-END: I’m slowly running out of backed-up content I wrote during my last bout of manic writing, which may be just in time for another bout of manic writing. BACK-END: The yak shaving continues, and it’s been boring. I’ve been parsing piles of hyperlinks much more than anything else, though I’ve been […]
2024-01-31 How to Lose a Life in 10 Months
What I Did FRONT-END: More backlogged content. BACK-END: More yak shaving, but more decisive. What I Learned As a casual experience when I’m bored, I’ve been proofreading my past content. I sprung for $70 to get a machine-learning-assisted tool to proofread. So far, LanguageTool has been very useful, though the task of proofreading is moderately […]
