Start of Week Update - 006

By A.A. Lopez

    All right, so two weeks of relative silence aside from one journal update, not great, but sometimes it happens. I can't get hung up on that too much. So what happened in these past two weeks?

    Let's see: 

• Did get the logger extension, now called Silver Forest, up and running along with a companion extension. 
• Recorded, edited, and have a rough edit of "Voices in Transit" spec ad done. 
• Worked and have a near working version of the On-Screen Text detection software done, just have to get a few more tests done with some edge-case uses. 
• Working on creating a Creative Brief for "Monterey Grove" a 4 episode TTRPG podcast (I'm pretty sure I've made reference to it at the very beginning). 
• Updated the pseudo-code to Project://JUNO and on the first part of creating the flowchart for it as well

    I believe that's all I had done... Oh! Right, also working on making a match 3 mobile game just to see if I can do it. And also applied to over 153 jobs over the past 2 days because I thought: "why not?"

    It's very apparent that I have a problem of never really staying on task and jumping around. Then again that is part of the mission statement of this blog after all. Everything is here so it's easier to jump around and see where development is for each item, and knowing how far along everything is.

    With that said, I think this following week will be (gods, I hope) slow so I can ease up on the burnout feeling. This week:

• Monday:
• Refine GUI for a coworker's JavaScript application
• Create a GUI for the OST Detection App
• Get an Alpha Tester
• Get some edge case material
• Update code to ignore static bugs
• Tuesday:
• Meeting with Beta Testers for Silver Forest
• Update based on notes/feedback
• Wednesday:
• Create clearance window for Caps Cleaner IMDb scraper
• Look into Pyannote for diarization
• Thursday:
• Start on the match 3 game idea (Working Title: Thrift Tycoon)
• Friday:
• Create a backwards flowchart for Monterey Grove
• Saturday:
• Enjoy an anime afternoon
• WBN:
• Devlogs for:
• Project://JUNO
• Silver Forest
• OST Detection
• WT: Thrift Tycoon
• Caps Cleaner Full - MajuMini
• Caps Cleaner Reduced

    This seems pretty doable for this week. I don't know what's going to happen, or if anything will happen, hell I don't even know why I'm saying anything will happen, but I'm positive I'll at least get some of these projects out of the way.

    That sounds like I see them as some type of inconvenience when these have been some of the most fun things I've done in a hot second. Guess that's just how burn out from work and being in the world feels sometimes. Either way, this time I will have a proper EoW update this week, I'll probably have to call it 005, unless I make one that says, "skipped." Honestly, that might work.

    No matter, see you in a few days, hopefully after a lot of posts.
