End of Week Update - 007

 End of Week Update - 007

By A.A. Lopez

    I don't know if this week was a lot or if the adrenaline from last week is finally crashing. Oh, right forgot to mention: my car got broken into and almost stolen, that was fun. Thankfully, all that was taken was a bag full of camping supplies, and the only damage was to the car door handle and the ignition switch (insurance covered it all). But after that this past week has been a total blur.

    Though I can say for certainty that I did accomplish a lot of the things I set out to do this week. So maybe the tiredness is from trying to do everything all at once. Well, let's actually get into it.

Accomplishments:

  • Completed and Delivered the GUI toolset
  • Completed the presentation with glowing marks and ready to present next week
  • Updated the name of my chrome extensions to UNL and ACP (Updated Notes Log and Airtable CSV Parser)
  • CC Tool... This one had some alterations so it's now a Pathway maker, but I did get the folder ready along with two different UI mockups
    • Also, also learned how to create functional buttons in Lucid, so now the UI mockup acts like the actual extension would

    And looking back at the SoW for this week, I did everything I set out to do. Yeesh, no wonder I'm tired, and on top of that had to handle 3 different specialty projects, give a full rundown of some rulesets to the higherups, and even advocate to keep a legacy program around longer because we ran into a huge problem that almost caused a delay for something due in 4 days. Gods, I'm tired.

    Well, I'm heading back to my parent's this weekend and spending time up there for the rest of the week there. So a lot of the projects I'm working on for this blog will be on hold until I get back. Though I will tease that I'm going to try something experimental when I get back in September. I'll most likely post a SoW and EoW for next week, but maybe they'll just be "I'm alive" posts.

    With that said, I'm out, peace.

LESSON OF THE WEEK: Adrenaline and caffeine are the devil's plaything and eyes' worst nightmare.

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 ...
