Start of Week Update - 002

By A.A. Lopez

    This time we're gonna start this update on Sunday before the week begins and see if that makes any difference. Along with subtracting some things, or give priority of "would be nice"(WBN) items. Though honestly, right now, this is more as a distraction for me with the current situation.

    If I haven't mentioned it earlier, I'm in Los Angeles, and while I'm not in Downtown, still being in this city is stressful. For those who do not know, or if you find this blog months, or years later, currently the current US administration is trying to intimidate the populace from protesting the illegal immigration raids they are attempting to do by enlisting military force. To be clear none of the protests are violent or are causing damage to person or property, but due to the bully nature of this administration they believe by using such tactics it will silence the people. I'm a believer that that people will not back down, that this will not go the way a would be tyrant would want it to, but that doesn't mean I'm not a bit scared, so I'm doing what I do best: focus on projects.

    It is a bit cowardly, I admit, but as someone with a bum leg and who can't really fight, and is scared of being scratched by a kitten, what else can I do? As grandiose as my idea of being a self-sacrificial hero might be, I know as soon as trouble comes I'll turn and run. I'll even justify it by saying I promised my parents I'd run, that I have to look to tomorrow, or some other bull like that. In the end, I'll be a coward, who runs.

    Hahaha! Sorry, that a got a bit heavy, but it's good to be honest here. After all I want to make sure anyone who might see this and choose to work with me knows who I am, even with my faults. And who knows, maybe I might end up being heroic when the time comes, but I doubt that. So let's just focus on this upcoming week, worrying about hypotheticals does nothing for the mind but cause worry.

• Monday
• Caps Cleaner Devlog
• Update about the Reduced Version
• Look into syllable tool found in the Haiku code
• Update about the IMDb Scraper tool
• Actual share some of the code
• Tuesday
• Caps Cleaner Work
• Want to show off at my day job on Wednesday, so need to have the reduced version semi-working and a full app. Need to deliver art to a mac to make an OS app
• Wednesday
• Caps Cleaner R.V.1.0 Showcase
• Thursday
• Relax, not gonna do a project, unless inspired
• Friday
• Half-Day, Wedding Officiant work, disperse business cards (if able)

    This seems like a more feasible workweek for myself. While I'm not focusing on my vast projects and just the one might be helpful. Though knowing me, if I'm up on a deadline that I'm enforcing, then the chance of actually getting the thing done on time... there's always a 50/50. Of course we should also mention the WBNs:

WBN

• Project://JUNO - Analog wireframe/Devlog update
• Horror Game Devlog
• Eldritch Horror Series Devlog
• OST Caption Devlog & OBS Use case
• Radio Audio Drama

    I don't know if I'll get to any of them, if anything I might just write in a journal, but knowing my chicken scratch, there's a good chance I'll only be able to relay a minimal part of my message. So let's hope I can do at least half of one this week, if not, we know what there is to work on in the future.

    It's pretty obvious that I'm doing my best to be goofy, distracted, and whatnot. So let me just be able to be this tinkerer who just wants to make stuff. Because right now I am scared, but I have hope, weird, huh? You'd think one would counteract the other.

    Let's see where we get to by End of Week. See ya next time.
