WordPress whole day. Soul shrivelled. :') tbh that's probably the nausea talking but LET'S BLAME WP :D 19/100 Days of Side Projects

Started a new course on some GSAP stuff and got about 50% of the way through on WP project 2/3. Client still has to send me the rest of the images in the correct format before I can complete it 💀 18/100 Days of Side Projects

Finished up another course! I have two left on my list... Until I add more. Which I might in a couple of weeks 👀 Also updated one of the WP projects. s o o n ™. 17/100 Days of Side Projects

Revelling in the fact that I'm up late at night and my 100D task(s) for the day were done long ago. I may keep up the video/podcast thing long-term for my cardio + stretches, at least. 16/100 Days of Side Projects

3 days left of this dang course. muahahaha. SO CLOSE to yeeting off WordPress project 1/3. So many lil changes... But that's to be expected. 15/100 Days of Side Projects

Bunch of calls meant my workout was postPONED until later in the day (and so were my videos) and so was other work I wanted to finish. And then went to bed late because I was busy booking for Rotterdam. SEE YA AT TWITCHCON :D 14/100 Days of Side Projects

WordPress and GSAP videos let's gooooo~ My WordPress days are NUMBERED. :D :D Don't ask me what the number is yet. 💀 13/100 Days of Side Projects

No workout but halfway died walking up a bunch of escalators. Had my earphones so the train journeys were somewhat productive. Dunno when I'll finish this course but I'll be glad it's over. xD 12/100 Days of Side Projects

Decided to prep for my newsletter by starting with sorting through my existing posts and ideas. My Obsidian vault feels like a messy room rn. I'll come back to it after I finish the next round of changes to the WordPress sites. 11/100 Days of Side Projects

Forgot my earphones otw to my grandparents (I felt inconvenienced but idk getting upset was too much effort) so I watched like a MINUTE of video before I went to sleep. 10/100 Days of Side Projects

I think I entered my next era? I baked a burnt basque cheesecake a couple of days ago and made banana bread muffin tops last night just so I'd have pocket snacks for the train. I'm only gone for one day. 🤣 (cheesecake is okay; overmixed - will fix on 2nd attempt)

Managed some GSAP videos and that's it. Baked banana bread muffin tops though :D No wasps. Satisfactory day - even if it smelt of vinegar 🤣 9/100 Days of Side Projects

I evicted SIX wasps from the kitchen today 😭 I can still hear buzzing even though I'm in bed and there are no wasps. Unless I hear them in the walls. Anyway, that interrupted my work throughout the arvo; today was a struggle. No workout, no videos. Just WordPress. 8/100 Days of Side Projects

Found it difficult to work today... Still did some SVG GSAP videos and worked on WP project 3. Oh, and had a client call about project 1! She loved it and I'll get the final content changes soon. Good enough. 7/100 Days of Side Projects

Started and finished a GSAP course, which felt great. Spent all afternoon and evening on ONE. TINY. WordPress feature, which felt meh. Lots more WP tomorrow 😩 6/100 Days of Side Projects

Finished the AI course and continued WP project 3/3. Woo! Looks like I can reclaim like 20+ days from my initial plan if I can get through video content in this manner :D 5/100 Days of Side Projects

Finished AI course Week 3 and worked on WordPress project 3/3. I think it'll be done with a solid two days' worth of work. I seem to enjoy watching videos while cycling (stationary bike, dw); that's two time-consuming things done at the same time. 4/100 Days of Side Projects

Half of AI Week 3 + 60% of Side Project 2. Can't finish it until the client's handed over the rest of the content. 🤷‍♀️ 3/100 Days of Side Projects

Sinners was BRILLIANT. If you haven't watched it yet - do - and stay for the *two* end credits scenes!

Started WP project 2/3 and did AI course Week 2 during my workout + stretches. 'If I don't put my health before other people's projects, it'll never happen; companies don't give a damn'. I don't know why that attitude hit home today, but it did. 2/100 Days of Side Projects

v1 of Precarious Oral Histories freelance website project: done! It's a research project creating a collection of less accessible oral history sources. Considering it finished as further requests should take a couple of hours, tops. Finished W1 of the AI course, too. 1/100 Days of Side Projects

I kept side-questing during the last 100 Days Challenge so I'm gonna get them out of the way first. 0/100 Days of Side Projects As for the projects:

Read a bunch of AI articles. This definitely devolved into multiple side quests and learning about AI instead of actually building Grid. I think I'll just focus on the side quests next to get them out of the way. 100/100 Days of Grid

I went to another AI meetup and some of the comments left me PEEVED. 'AI outputs the norm' 'Productivity = Learning' Come on. Critical thinking. Use it. Contemplating continuing to attend just to give me writing rant material. 99/100 Days of Grid

I was looking at design and product engineer blogs and came across some interesting uses of visuals for storytelling. Still uncomfortable with clearly GenAI imagery. Makes me feel like getting better at art. 98/100 Days of Grid

Spent a bit of time doing IDE research. Turns out I'm still sticking with Cursor 🤣 I just need to use it better. 97/100 Days of Grid

'AI tools for SaaS products' strangely didn't net as many results as I thought it would. 96/100 Days of Grid

More AI tool research. Spent time looking at voice AI products and wondering how that'd work for community events and participation. 95/100 Days of Grid

'is open source hyphenated' I feel like it's a bit late in my career to be Googling this but okay. 94/100 Days of Grid

JavaScript meetup time! Time to practice networking skills at which I am v. bad. :D 93/100 Days of Grid
