Start of Week Update - 001

 Start of Week Update - 001

By A.A. Lopez

    This is going to be an experimental part of this blog; posting what the plan is for the week on Monday evening, and then a follow-up End of Week update on Friday evenings to see where we go. Basically it's a way to give myself a chore list of what I want to do this week and have some accountability for myself.

    My plans for this week are pretty basic for what is gonna be a short workweek thanks to having Summer Fridays at my day job. Which will not only allow me to focus on keeping my personal life a bit more restful (especially since my manager has told me I really need to take more time to rest and not let myself get burnt-out on work and other things), but it will allow me to have a full or even half day to focus on my projects, not including weekends.

    For this week the planned projects are as follows:

  • Monday
    • Start SoW Update posts
    • Review OST footage
    • Learn OBS features
  • Tuesday
    • Work on Project://JUNO wireframe (Digital/Analog)
    • Send off for business cards for Wedding Officiant business
    • Post Devlogs for:
      • Project://JUNO
      • Wedding Officiant Business - Intro
      • Eldritch Space Game - Intro
  • Wednesday
    • Office Day - May or may not post
    • Work on Caps Cleaner in office
      • Post any updates (if any)
    • Watch new Dimension 20 campaign
  • Thursday
    • Devlog on the python script for Caps Cleaner
    • Devlog for OST tool - Intro
      • OBS footage of instances
        • Could be used for Caps Cleaner as well
      • Create a .vtt file for use-case
        • Could be used for Caps Cleaner as well
  • Friday
    • Start EoW Update posts
    • Devlog for Horror Bob Ross Game - Intro
    • Clean Apartment
    • Play video games

    Not sure if I like this format, might change it down the line, but for now this gets the point across. Now the real slog is to see which of these I actually keep up with, and which are literally there to fill space. Let's hope this actually keeps me on track, wish me luck!

Start of Week - Update 009

 Start of Week - Update 009 By A.A. Lopez     Let's see, it's been... 2 weeks since the last update. Not bad for me; usually, the break is 3. But let's see where we're at, what we're trying to do, and if there's anything upcoming for this week.     Honestly, I've put a lot of my projects off to the side for the past week or so due to the RTO order that came in a few weeks ago, along with layoffs looming overhead. So I've just been letting myself have the time to breathe and have room. Though I am keeping up with streaming every Friday at 7 PM, with different ideas for each stream. Last week's was focused on creating vector art with a real-life photo; it came out incredibly creepy, so I deleted it after the stream.     But I am feeling the need to get back to at least trying to focus on my creative projects again. I can't let these things just go to the wayside. I want to do them all, I just really need to find a way to organize myself better. At ...

End of Week Update - 008

End of Week Update - 008 By A.A.Lopez     You know, I tend to start each of these EoW updates with "Oh, I'm so tired," or "That was a long week." Just things to those effects, but seriously, I feel like this past week was much too much. Not going to get too much into it cause a lot of it deals with NDA stuff, but gods, I need a way off the rollercoaster.     But let's not focus too much on the week and focus on the accomplishments that happened!     Biggest thing, had my first stream this past Friday, as well as a second one on Saturday. You can see that it resulted in two art pieces, "pieces", they were sketches, and the stream got away from me a bit. Yet, I think I learned a lot from my time doing it. From how to use OBS to trying to be a good host. Was I excellent? No. Did I have a lot of viewers? No. Was it fun and worth leaning into and learning? Yes. So I think I will continue on this path for just a bit longer.     Of course, I should also ...
