Monday 31 May, 2021 at 6.48am
Week 21, 2021 ran from Monday 24 May, 2021 to Sunday 30 May, 2021.
Another week, and I’m still stacking chips. Last week’s chips looked like this:
Intention
At the start of the week, I wrote down three high level goals:
- Tidy up after Eurovision — ✅
- Celebrate the end of the Horizon Zero Dawn series - ❌
- Restore old content to site — ❌
Update
During last week's rather breakneck reimplementation of the control panel for my Eurovision Drinking Game, I did not take any time to commit the code as I went along. A bad habit I have, as no matter how pressed for time I am it shouldn't take any time at all to create point-in-time commits that I can then rewrite into a clean history later. But I was feeling a little panicked that I wouldn't be ready, so I just barrelled ahead writing code.
So, I spent the first couple of days taking that code and crafting a mostly-coherent history out of it, then committing it.
Then I hit a midweek slump. After the rush to be ready for Eurovision, Eurovision itself, and the cleanup that I wanted to get done before anything about the code left my head, I felt rather drained of both energy and motivation. So I spent the day playing Factorio, watching TV, and snoozing.
Thursday I still couldn't get started on anything, so instead I made some Police Squad! GIFs, more as an excuse to watch Police Squad! than to have more GIFs really. And then I got side-tracked adding date-based navigation with a random sampling of GIFs to the site. Lastly, I started adding Atom feeds to each source and tag, but this turned out to be more involved than I thought, so that can wait until next week.
