Chips for Week 29, 2020
Friday 17 July, 2020 at 5.17pm
Week 29, 2020 ran from Monday 13 July, 2020 to Sunday 19 July, 2020.
Another week, another stack of chips. This week’s chips look like this:
I spent Sunday morning going through all of my random todo lists, FIXMEs, entries in Things, and so on, to make a more definitive list of the things I might want to work on, rather than doing just what occurs to me on a given day.
Monday, after a lie-in, I started work on importing my Foursquare checkins to my website. The code to fetch them was quick to write; the code to filter out what I didn’t want to import took a while longer. Because it involved looking at almost every checkin.
Tuesday was another lie-in and more figuring out what checkins to keep. Finished that by the end of the day, but having a few thousand more entries did show that flourish would slow down a lot for generating pages on the fly.
Wednesday, another lie-in and a morning of pottering about to clear my head. I think best at a whiteboard, not sitting in front of a keyboard, so I did some standing around. Then cracked on trying to speed flourish up.
Thursday I took the morning off to do some reading, and cook soup. Finished the speed up work and went back to 4sq, importing images I’d added to a handful of checkins.
And today I polished that all off and got it committed, updated flourish with the speed up and a couple of other bug fixes, then spent the afternoon tracking down why the Atom generator would explode.
