Day 1284 : Numb
Source: Dev.to
Professional
Today somehow went by fast and at the same time painfully slow. I had a couple of team meetings and it was good to see everyone. I responded to a couple of questions, sent out some follow‑ups, then moved on to coding on my current project.
My brain went numb fixing a coding error: I did a git pull to make sure I didn’t have any conflicts, pushed my code changes, uploaded a sample zip file that then kicked off a GitHub Actions workflow I made. If everything worked, I opened the folder the workflow created, clicked a link that opened Codespaces, waited for Codespaces to load fully, and entered some credentials in a terminal script I wrote so I could get a server running on a public port. If any part of that chain broke, I had to redo the whole process.
Personal
Last night I chose the albums I’m going to buy on Bandcamp this week and started drafting the social‑media posts. I also began working on tracks for the radio show and looked up the social‑media accounts of the artists I’ll be playing.
I decided to pick up the Samsung Galaxy XR headset to start working on the WebXR and WebAI projects I want to build for next year. Samsung offered a 0 % payment plan plus extras, so I placed the order (it should arrive soon) and added prescription lenses.
I watched several videos and decided a portable Bluetooth keyboard that folds would be ideal for traveling. I plan to do a lot of coding on WebXR × WebAI projects in the headset, and a physical keyboard will be far more comfortable than a virtual one. The keyboard I’m considering has backlit keys, which is handy for long‑flight coding sessions, and it can also be used with my foldable phones—something I’m terrible at doing on a touchscreen.
Plan
- Buy the albums on Bandcamp and finalize the social‑media posts.
- Assemble the starter tracks for the radio show (the voting list is already set from the Thanksgiving push).
- Trade in my old AR glasses for the new pair arriving next week to secure a discount.
- Attend my eye‑doctor appointment tomorrow (eyes will be dilated), then continue coding tonight so I can deliver updates to the team tomorrow.
I’ll eat dinner first, then get to work.
Peace piece.
