Start of Week Update - 007

 Start of Week Update - 007

By A.A. Lopez

    Man, I really have a bad habit of leaving weekly blogs alone for too long. Probably should try harder to stick to a schedule; maybe put an alarm on my phone or something. Anyways, let's break down what's been happening and what the plan is for this week.

    Finally, release the Notes extension to my team in general. The downside is that my boss, his boss, and side-boss all don't like the name I gave it. They want a more marketable name for the extension, so I have to think of something before Thursday after next, when I do a presentation for the global team. So that'll be a part of my workload this week.

    Oh, and the GUI for the other toolset is finally complete. The only problem is that packaging it has become a hassle due to its needing output folders. However, I got the okay from the dev who made the code that I can junk that feature and update it to go straight to the /Downloads folder. Once I do that, I should be able to package on a Mac, but I will have to do some finagling to make it an .exe file for Windows.

    Then I have another toolset being asked by another team for an extension that reads .xls/.xlsx files, grabs certain columns, then compares/contrasts them against a directory to see if the names and filetypes match, and spits out a .csv report. I already finished the pseudo-code and flowchart for that one. I just need to create the base output for the .csv report, and then I can get started on making the thing.

    So my week is heavy with projects, along with my standard workload. Not that I mind, but I would like it if I could get some recognition beyond the accolades of some folks. At the very least, I can put the schematics and flowcharts here (redacted of any sensitive materials related to my work). Hopefully, someone might see it and be impressed with the things I've been working on... Though being this scatterbrained probably isn't the best.

    Anyways, let's break down this week:

  • Monday
    • Finish the Toolset GUI repackaging
    • Create a skeleton of the presentation
    • Name dev for the notes extension
    • Begin the groundwork for the new Extension Compare/Contrast toolset
  • Tuesday
    • Have a meeting about the presentation
    • Deliver the GUI toolset to the team
    • Name dev
  • Wednesday
    • Presentation prep
    • Name dev
  • Thursday
    • Have a folder ready for the CC Toolset
    • Send the presentation for review
  • Friday
    • Relax

    Looking at this is having my heart racing, but I'm confident I can get this all done during my alloted time. Let's just hope nothing bad happens in the meantime.

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 ...
