The routine of the work week and the pressure of our job responsibilities can often get the best of us. However, whether it's putting more effort into your job, or finding one that makes you truly happy, its time to commit to your career.
"completed my first animated video today. I am officially an animator.. this pandemic is a challenge and has made things almost impossible.. never giving up working harder becoming stronger and still doing everything I can.. "
"Today able to complete several todos and Complete Anki flashcards. Yesterday I didn't upload a screen shot because I had to cram homework due to procrastinating which is what I am trying to stop. "
"OK. Stick with 2, that's fine. Definitely no fruit wit yogurt after 7pm you fucking moron. Stick aiming for 7pm as a kinda soft curfew. Would be great if your body adjusted to midnight-8am time or earlier, even. Also, avoid doughey take outs alone this week. It will count as an eating mistake. If you have to get something, get poke. "
"Today I took a look at how to fixed a Fridge. The compressor was bad and so it had to be replaced, this tool can be bought, it comes with wires, red and black and two connectors.
Today is also my Birtday. Yah me! I'm now 22, I went nowhere.
What I did for the day:
Drink Tea, Exercise, Eat breakfast, Mediatate, Cook, Plant (Plemento and Tomatoe), Watch some videos, Sleep, Look up how to fixed Electrical Appliances (Fridge)"
"Yeh, end times, what can I tell you.
I spent an age working on OBS (broadcasting programme for online streaming). I stayed up late night after night, testing and debugging this whole thing so I could stream on simultaneous platforms on Sunday Nights.
I neglected the songs, and sleep. And didn't get much exercise. And ate a lot of crap. BUT.
Sunday night, I pulled off something which I wanna build on. I streamed live on all 3 platforms using a Chatroom that combined all the comments into one place. I took requests and let people Add songs to the queue live. I had screen transitions, background audio and a nice big condenser mic to pick it up.
Still a couple of bugs to work out, still learning the ropes. Steep learning curve. But with Everyone stuck at home, and my gigs on ice indefinitely, there's no better time to figure out how to do this for real on the internet.
So yeh, now that I've climbed outta that pit of heavy learning, I gotta get busy. ASAP. I have songs that desperately need finished lyrics. And chord sheet that need locked down.
I feel bad for not doing more with it this week. In honestly I'd say Stickk should take my $37 stake this week, but in reality - talk about extenuating circumstances...! Every single house in lockdown! Who saw that coming 8 weeks ago...??
I'm gonna get these songs done if it kills me. I'm annoyed that it's taken this long and is gonna be a rush to meet the Sunday deadline. But on the bright side - I've nothing else to be getting on with... no excuses.
Hope everyone's well. Family is so important.
I hope we can return to some sort of normality soon. At least it's allowing people more time to be creative at home.
take care

"Thanks Ako! Angela Yu’s boot camp is pretty cool. Based out of her London, her boot camp is called The App Brewery. Screenshots of work to follow soon"
"Finished both the Anvil and lighting tutorial. Read couple of blog posts about interactive storytelling.
Didn't get to start learning UE4 again, because of my poor schedule, ignoring routines, impulsiveness, unfocused slow working and depression. "
"Reviewed: Python versioning convesion(pypi), c/o common built-in modules;timedate,array,Counter(count items by interval),defaultdict(give default for non-existent key look-ups).Explained Venv/pipenv and there purpose. Used pdb module for debugging. File I/O using with open keywords.. (r,w,a,r+)"
"More on the list of things that CAN and you should always prepare WILL go wrong: changing computers and changing software because of it. Still succeeded, 10 seconds of new frames in video form uploading to Drive."
"VSe dni sem objavljala (pišem tole 33. dan), a StickK mi kar ni hotel spustiti potrditve. Samo da veš, Zdenka, super si. Ti veš, da si objavljala, in to je to."

"My goal today was to catch up on almost all of my Anki decks. Tomorrow I will upload pics of my completed homework assignments. One deck has 118 cards due so that will take more that one day to complete Thank you again for refing my goal. "
"Found some time during naptime to continue the udemy course:
So, the rework took until the last minute basically and Flatiron itself took over from this course.
However, I had to take a 60 day leave of absence due to corona virus, so I figure I’ll continue this until I’m done.
Unfortunately, that means I need to pick up where I left off and I need to review, so what I’m going to do is start the jQuery section over again. so there’ll be some repetition in my notes.
Here we go:
What is JQuery
The most popular Javescript library.
That’s it, it’s just a library, like pry, etc in Ruby.
Here’s the Javascript Code that we wrote in our Drumkit project:
for (i = 0; i < document.querySelectorAll(“button").length; i++) {
document.querySelectorAll(“button”)[i].addEventListener(“click”, function() {
document.querySelector(“h1”).style.color = “red”;
});
}
I vaguely remember now. This was apart of the document object model. Is the DOM another library that you need to declare? I think it is, right? Because it’s a collection of classes and methods, namely, the “document” class. Brushing up on the DOM with this: https://www.w3.org/TR/WD-DOM/introduction.html — also referencing my notes. Starting to think that it might be a good idea to start with the DOM lectures instead of JQuery haha. Here we go:
Review lectures 141 through 150
Then we use its methods to manipulate the “document object.”
That code describes the behavior of the the Drum Kit we created:
it iterates through the buttons and adds an event listener (a user mouse click), and defines what should happen upon that click — the text turns red.
But this can be done more simply using the jQuery library. And that explains why its called JQuery. Similar to the querySelector methods, right?
John Resig — creator of Jquery. Felt the code was unnecessarily complex. So he wrote a library and called it Jquery."
"Ich muss eine neue Vorgehensweise finden, so dass ich jetzt schon damit beginnen kann für die kommenden Trainings (2H/20) zu säen, so dass das Jahresziel mit mehr Teilnehmern in der zweiten Jahreshälfte dennoch erreicht werden kann."
"The UCAT Consortium has officially announced that UCAT will still continue despite the effects of the Corona Virus. MedEntry added some abstract reasoning mega drill (100 questions in 25 minutes), I did the first Abstract reasoning mega drill and get 69 right. "
"I should clarify about the Stickk commitments:
I'll continue this one with Angela Yu Udemy bootcamp until I've completed it
Then I'll continue this one when I return to Flatiron school and then create a new commitment with an end date that corresponds with my new flatiron graduation date goal.
Never foresaw the impact that COVID-19 would have on us. It's definitely world-changing.
FYI, I'm in New York City -- hence our high anxiety and asking the Nanny to stay home. We're committing to Fresh Direct and Amazon deliveries to keep us alive for the next 2 months."
"Project week went well! We passed and our command-line app, Mango Jobs, worked great!
Unfortunately, I have an update on the impact of Covid19 on us: we had to tell the Nanny to stay at home for her safety as well as for ours. This means I'll have to take care of our daughter full time which means it's not feasible for me to participate in Flatiron at the moment.
Their policy allows for a 60 day leave of absence which works perfectly for us because we really need the flexibility at the moment. When I return, they'll test me and place me in the module I would have begun this coming Monday (module 2).
But I'm not going to give up learning and practicing. This commitment technically goes until June 22nd -- I'm going to have to finish this one out by completing the Angela Yu bootcamp on Udemy, then creating a new bootcamp-related commitment to continue with Flatiron when I start back up.
If COVID starts clearing up in a month and the second month is totally safe to go outside, I should be back at Flatiron near at the end of May. Hopefully I'll even be able to go in-person.
I think I'll be able to complete the Angela Yu bootcamp within these two months, though it's going to be bumpy at first because I need to retrace my steps and pick up where I left off. I believe I left off with learning JQuery and was in the middle of the tutorial lesson for it.
This time, for each section, I should try to do my own project and not just copy the assignment. That way when I get back to Flatiron, I'll be that much more familiar with creating my own apps.
What do you say, Ako, does this all sound ok to you?"
"I think my roof looks flat enough to put solar but I’m still researching alternatives because this thing is already so tall.... but I may have to give in because nothing else seems as efficient and people say flexible solar is just not as durable and fries in excess heat and there’s NOTHING BUT excess heat here "
