Week Notes 25#03

Jan. 26, 2025, 8:57 p.m.

A somewhat mixed week:

• The expiry of the domain go.opencensus.io led to some widespread chaos across the Go community this week
• This week, I've had Don't Panik - CloZee Remix and Polarised - Koven on remix a lot
• I've made some very good progress with a Charm-based TUI for tailing my Matomo stats, which has been very good and has made a big difference to being able to keep on top of my recent hits, as well as seeing at-a-glance if any of my favourite sites are getting any hits
• Feeling quite good mid-week after presenting a design doc at the Eng Leads
• But didn't last that long, after some news on Thursday, and sad to be losing Mattias, Vero and Chloe
  • Needed to pop to Lidl, so had some good music therapy to try and clear my mind / process my thoughts
• Thursday was a busy day with the MOT, Cook and Butternut Box deliveries, but Cookie was in daycare as Anna was in the office
  • Was a good first MOT (for me, and the car)
• Got a massage - my first in a while - but now I'm still quite achey 🫣
• Been a busy brain week - in particular with the design doc writing - so haven't had as much time to do podcast listening
• Ended up declaring "tab bankruptcy" on my desktop Firefox as things have been slowing down, and although I like having them saved as my TODO list, I've decided to take the loss
• Had good catch-ups with Isabella and Stacey
• Had a nice catch-up with Alec to end the week
• Had a nice weekend with Mum and Dad to stay
  • Had some nice chats, a lot of productive jigsaw puzzle time and had a nice Rakki Rakkas takeaway 😋
• Been making some changes to my CV this weekend - always recommend keeping it somewhat up-to-date!
  • But if anyone can help with avoiding the blank space from the new company sidebar, that'd be appreciated
• Booked in some catch up with friends

Watched:

• Taskmaster
  • Finished Season 17, and now almost caught up before Season 19 comes out this spring

• The Lovebirds
  • Got ~10 mins left to watch, and picked up from Week 24'48
