Start of Week Update - 006

 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.

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 ...
