Ongoing big projects
The website reached its first anniversary! I did some tremendous work on the website. Mostly content-wise, and AI barely helped in that department. I found out for myself that AI reformatting is horrible and soulless, no matter how you tweak it.
Moved many things to Sanity for editing simplicity. Now, I think I’m done with it and it won’t move much for at least a year. Well, there is the “projects” section I’ll put in place when I publish the 2 projects I’m working on. It will be by the end of the year. But apart from that, it will just be blogging and monthly updates. I planned to set up a reading log, but let’s postpone that for a year! For now, the website improvement project is closed!
Still on GCP, but I’m locking in right now! The study material is very good but very dense.
My tinkering
As I said last month, I built 3 Telegram bots. One month in, I hate each one of them. The finance bot broke when the new month rolled over. The tone of each is so robotic despite my huge instruction file, but that’s on me! I plan to readjust them, but it takes a lot of work, so I’ll leave it there and might pick it back up by the end of the year.
This month I’m beginning the outline of new projects that may become next month’s Ongoing big projects.
For relaxation and culture
I’ll try to get back to civilization and revive my social life. I think the lack of it definitely takes a toll on my quality of life. That said, I’m having a blast as I follow the weekly release of the anime Bleach: Thousand Years Blood War.
I also started playing the game Stardew Valley on Steam and I’m loving it!
Aside from that
I’ve been going to the gym weekly without fail for a month and a half now, and I’m feeling great. There was a week where I was very sick, but I recovered!
