Week Notes 22#04

The double glazing is in! House is warmer, although it has been warmer, so can't solely take the credit for it

• With the end of the windows being double glazed, it's been a bit of a loud week, and harder to concentrate - even if people on calls haven't been able to hear, so been able to be doing less pairing than hoped
• Was really nice getting Morph back and having him being so chill and cuddly. Really hoping that he keeps this up for a bit
• Finally went to Naughty but Nice, the sandwich and tasty treats cafe down the road, and it's been really good, and we've enjoyed a few lunches there, which helped because we hadn't been able to get into the kitchen a few days while they were doing the kitchen/dining room windows
  • Already had 64 people look at the photo of the menu I added to Google Maps which is cool
• Been doing a bit more investigation of different software architectures, with jMolecules' Layered and Onion architectures, and reading a fair bit of different views on various things, which has been nice because it's never really been an active consideration in the past
• Been giving the terminal emulator Kitty a go, and been enjoying it so far, especially with easy pasting from the primary clipboard, and how responsive it is, as well as a lot of great features like theme support and emoji input!
• First step on a few things this week - one which is a slow burn for self care, and the other which although may be a slow burn, I'm very much looking forward to a quick win too!
• Got (everything but Week Notes) publishing to LinkedIn, which may be useful, but maybe longer term it's going to be too much noise for my feed. I've already seen a fair few hits, and wonder if I should get articles syndicating to Twitter, too as people following me there are likely more interested in my thoughts
• Sorted out my Renovate setup on GitLab - requiring the renovate.json - but managed to make some progress on burning down the list of dependency updates
  • Thinking I may start moving my example projects into their own group on GitLab, so I can also set up easier Renovate onboarding / settings
• Spotted that my autognerating GitHub README hasn't been working, because I'd not got the branch correct
• Had the weekend off from actively doing home bits, but made some decisions about future house tweaks
• Been nice being able to watch TV while washing up, in our current temporary layout
• Didn't get a chance to do my hair this week but hopefully will get it cut this coming week
• Listened to a lot of the very chill Ben Böhmer & Rob Moose - Erase (An Apparition) feat. lau.ra, as well as a few of the Liquicity yearmixes
• I've settled into the new office layout, moving the sofa to the wall by the door, leaving the behind of me free, and am enjoying the current setup
• Correlation IDs work has led to creating a library for it
