Productive Day and Tomorrow's Plans

Mar 8, 2024 - 10:05pmSummary: Today was genuinely good. I enjoyed a brief outing, had a catching-up call with Katie, and worked on getting an app ready for Darren, which I'm hopeful he'll find useful. It's sparked a desire in me to develop a more robust infrastructure, something I see as entirely feasible. Planning for tomorrow, I want to integrate a design from Jordan into my work and, if possible, continue enhancing the app for Darren, focusing on stronger infrastructure and deploying it to a stable, cost-effective, or free hosting service, potentially something like serverless Postgres. Dinner was light, just almonds and some couscous, not quite a meal. After a productive day, I'm feeling pretty exhausted and foresee just watching a YouTube video before bed. I'm looking forward to driving up for coffee tomorrow morning, though I need to check my car's charge for the trip to Encinitas and also plan to do some grocery shopping. I aim to start the day early, enjoy an espresso, buy some beans, perhaps a pastry, and then see where the day takes me. I'm debating between taking my laptop and opting to journal instead, leaning towards the latter to give myself a chance to reflect and process my thoughts. So, that's the roundup of today and the look-ahead for tomorrow.

Transcript: Good day today. Really good day today. It was just great to get out for a couple hours, come back. I had a call with Katie, and we just caught up for a while. I did work, and I got the app mostly ready for Darren to use, which I'm pretty excited about. I just hope it's useful for him. And that's the main thing. And also, it makes me want to make more robust infrastructure. So fortunately, all of that's doable. I want to spend at least a couple hours tomorrow getting the design from Jordan in. That's the main thing I would like to do tomorrow. And if I get time to finish up the app for Darren, make more robust infrastructure, and deploy to longer-term running things that are not on my own computer, but is on someone else's infrastructure that is very cheap or free, that would be great. That would be really, really great. Serverless Postgres or something. Yeah. So we will see and go from there. But yeah, it was nice. I didn't really eat much today for dinner. I guess I had almonds and a bit of couscous, but not really real food. And after doing everything that I did, I'm quite tired. I'm just like watching one YouTube video and then going to sleep, I think, is the thing. So overall, pretty good. I'm excited to go drive up and get some coffee tomorrow morning. I should check on my car's charge just to make sure I have enough charge to get up to Encinitas. I also need to... Well, get groceries tomorrow. So I guess I'm going to get up at like 6.30, more or less, and go ahead to that coffee shop, have an espresso, get some beans, and maybe a pastry. That's the plan. Go from there. But I probably will bring at least my journey. I don't know if I'll bring my laptop. Part of me wants to bring my laptop, but also part of me says that's probably a bad idea, and it's probably best to just spend the time journaling and writing and thinking about all these things that I'm thinking about and that are in my head. So we'll do that. Thank you.

Today's been a good day overall. It's now 6:30 PM, and I'm set to make dinner, having skipped lunch and snacked on peanut butter pretzels from Costco instead. Workwise, I managed to organize all my projects, using Basecamp as a tool, though I'm still assessing its effectiveness for my needs. I also progressed with Darren's app to a new version and developed a bit more of a dashboard for a wedding project with John, despite its uncertain future. The planning aspect of my work gives me the most satisfaction. Tomorrow, I'm eager to dive into the "Burrito" project, exploring Jordan's design and considering which modules to add. I'll experiment with labeling features in private mode to see if they add value. Although labeling everything is cumbersome, it could ultimately be worthwhile. I spent about four hours on computer and programming tasks, which felt okay but somewhat less than ideal. Tonight, I plan to relax, cook steak and a salad for dinner, possibly adding an egg cooked in the steak juices. After an enjoyable bike ride post-call with John, I'm winding down from what I consider a pretty solid day.

Today started off wonderfully, albeit a bit late due to daylight savings time. I was particularly excited about implementing Jordan's UI design into the project, going through a significant update to the entire user interface. The morning coffee, a special blend from Necessity in Encinitas that I tried for the first time, was exceptional with its distinct passion fruit notes. Following this delightful start, I went climbing with my friends Patrick and Kyle at Mission Gorge. We tackled several routes including "Empathy" on the main wall and "Skyline" among others, experiencing both challenges and successes throughout the day. It was a blend of leading and top roping various climbs, a fulfilling way to spend time with close ones. Post-climbing, I returned home to some household chores, including laundry, with plans to cook dinner and possibly program for a bit. However, relaxation seems more tempting as the evening progresses. It's 6:30 PM now, and the night might wind down with me enjoying a show or simply unwinding in anticipation of tomorrow. Although no activities are planned for the next day, considering the surf conditions, it might just turn into a surfing day if conditions at Swami's are favorable. A potential plan to surf with Chandler is also on the horizon, depending on how the morning tide looks.
