I 100% completely forgot to work on code yesterday, so today I just did a morning hour of code and then I’ll be doing an evening hour of code. Kinda hacky, but oh well. Worse yet, my first hour of code was even more cheaty because I just went around to various different websites, inspecting their code. I’m finding it easier and easier to isolate html and css elements through the inspect feature…

I launched my site and found that my nav header is completely broken, so I spent my whole hour today digging through the code, trying to figure out why. I also looked more into things like shadowRoot just to better understand the JavaScript. It’s not fixed… but at least I learned some new things, today. Photo by Marcela Rogante on Unsplash

I failed. For several days, I did not code. I didn’t even do anything remotely close to working on code. Anyone who reads my past couple of posts could tell I was falling out of love with it, that it had become a burden. Why then? Do I still want to work on code? Yes, of course I do. But I’ve been burning myself out. I’m riding a bicycle to and from work every day, I’m trying to learn Japanese,…

Once again I write about yesterday. I got the server running, but later that night it broke again. That was around midnight, though, and so I spent about 40 minutes on it before going to bed.

I didn’t write a post for yesterday, but I did spend some time working on hosting a Palworld server, so that’s what I’m counting for that hour. It was more like 2 and I still hadn’t gotten it fully running, but that’s what I’m working on today! Photo by Taylor Vick on Unsplash

I made some good progress on my LinkedIn Learning today and that feels pretty good. I also enjoyed some cheap Fred Meyer’s sushi. I… weirdly really like crappy sushi. I was reminded of vars today and then quickly learned I should never use them in JavaScript. They’re global by default. Wild. “let” makes alot more sense, now, though.

I’m writing this post a day late because I was still a little under the weather yesterday and fell asleep listening to the pragmatic programmer. I’ve always doubted the efficacy of those “learn Japanese while you sleep” videos, but I’m not against self-delusion when it serves my own purposes, so that’s what I was doing. Yup. Learning in my sleep. I was probably awake for at least an hour of it,…

I’m ill, so I went to bed early. That being said, I woke up and started tinkering with a test page on my site. I’m working on how I want the game page to look. I started by making different frames to mimick Kingdom of Loathing. I’m not sure this is how I want to do it, though; specifically, I’m not convinced I want a news feed in a right pane. I played with having different frame configurations…
