Weekly updates

Regular updates, eh? Inspired by the post Staying Motivated by Sending Status Updates to Nobody and by Eevee's dev log, I've decided to try to write regular updates, or "newsletters", where I'll put together what I've done, experienced and generally survived.

I am not sure how much this will be interesting to other people, as this should be a tool for myself, to remember what I've done.

Friends also inspired by this idea:


πŸ“„ Newsletter 2022εΉ΄02月20ζ—₯; Small projects

Opensource contributions, book report, improvements, published blogposts and generally progress in my life and work.

πŸ“„ Newsletter 2021εΉ΄10月29ζ—₯; Monster post

Some of the more important points in my year, and also general update regarding the tinySelf, objWiki and other projects of mine. Expect a lot of text.

πŸ“„ Newsletter 2021εΉ΄01月08ζ—₯; Defragmentation in progress

Opensource contributions, book report, improvements, published blogposts and generally progress in my life and work.

πŸ“„ Newsletter 2020εΉ΄09月12ζ—₯; Waves of productivity

Some of the stuff I did in last month and a half.

πŸ“„ Newsletter 2020εΉ΄07月28ζ—₯; Whee, I can make 3D lowpoly models

Opensource contributions, book report, improvements, published blogposts and generally progress in my life and work.

πŸ“„ Lifelog 2020εΉ΄06月15ζ—₯; Todo in motion

Opensource contributions, book report, improvements, stuff that I wrote and generally progress in my life.

πŸ“„ Lifelog 2020εΉ΄05月25ζ—₯; Work in progress everywhere

I think it is time to stop calling this stuff "biweekly update", as I seem to be unable to publish every two weeks.

πŸ“„ Biweekly update 2020εΉ΄04月22ζ—₯; A lot of programming

I've spent too much time thinking about object serialization protocols, their advantages and disadvantages.

πŸ“„ Biweekly update 2020εΉ΄04月06ζ—₯; Finally not sick and productive

Finally, I am not sick with cold and I feel generally good. As I am staying home and I wear FFP3 mask every time I go outside, I expect to stay this way for some time.

πŸ“„ Biweekly update 2020εΉ΄03月23ζ—₯; Sick again..

Later than usually. Sorry. I just didn't felt like writing an update last Sunday, and there wasn't that much interesting going on, except the crazy global pandemic everyone already knows about.

πŸ“„ Biweekly update 2020εΉ΄03月01ζ—₯; Publishing success

This was so far the most successful week for this blog, with tens of thousands of views, several new patrons and twitter followers.

πŸ“„ Biweekly update 2020εΉ΄02月16ζ—₯; I am fragmented

I feel kinda fragmented. I failed my todo pushing. I failed to write what I wanted and instead wrote a bunch of other stuff and I've begun to read three different books at once and didn't finish any of them.

πŸ“„ Biweekly update 2020εΉ΄02月02ζ—₯; Boring two weeks

This two weeks were boring. I've been tired or unable to focus, so I didn't manage to do much. I hope that next weeks will be better.

πŸ“„ Biweekly update 2020εΉ΄01月19ζ—₯; Productive, but unsatisfactory two weeks

I've done a lot of stuff, but although it wasn't procrastination, I have somehow bitter feeling about it. I didn't get much sleep, so I felt tired all the time. This led me to using caffeine more than usual, so I had explosions of productivity alternated with moments of total tiredness.

πŸ“„ Biweekly update 2020εΉ΄01月05ζ—₯; objWiki is coming nicely

2020, eh? I really hope that this year will be better than the last one, which was in many ways too close to my personal low of all times.

πŸ“„ Biweekly update 2019εΉ΄12月24ζ—₯; Christmas, *sighs*

Too late, I know. I just didn't have any time for writing the update, so it will be a bit shorter than usually.

πŸ“„ Biweekly update 2019εΉ΄12月08ζ—₯; Projects and work organization

Overall quite productive two weeks, but I didn't do much programming on my own personal projects.

πŸ“„ Biweekly update 2019εΉ΄11月24ζ—₯; Mental refactorings and wiki gardening

I think I can say that last two weeks were motivated by attempts to organize myself better. I've done a lot of wiki gardening, created new kanban boards and groomed old ones.

πŸ“„ Biweekly update 2019εΉ΄11月10ζ—₯; Quiet and slow progress

I've dealt with a lot of personal business this two weeks, so I didn't do much work in terms of programming.

πŸ“„ Biweekly update 2019εΉ΄10月27ζ—₯; Slacking hard

In the productivity area, this was really, really bad week. I felt kinda overwhelmed, so I decided to relax. All my free time was consumed by anime, movies, and even some games (Minecraft / 7 days to die). Now I feel more relaxed, but at the same time, I feel like I wasted my life.

πŸ“„ Weekly update 2019εΉ΄10月13ζ—₯; I was really busy

I've been thinking that I'll probably try to slow down and publish bi-weekly updates, as I feel like I am generating too much noise. I'll try to slow down and see what effect it had, as noise is not what I want to put out into the world.

πŸ“„ Weekly update 2019εΉ΄10月06ζ—₯; Slowly ramping up to where I was

I would rate this week 3.6/15k - not great, not terrible. I've done some work, both on tinySelf and in my actual everyday work, but I am nowhere as productive as I was before I got sick. I guess I am taking my time to get back on my standard levels of productivity.

πŸ“„ Weekly update 2019εΉ΄09月29ζ—₯; I feel tired all the time

I am still recovering from the cold I've caught last week. Most of the nasty side effects are gone, but I still feel incredibly tired.

πŸ“„ Weekly update 2019εΉ΄09月22ζ—₯; The bug was finally fixed

I've been sick whole week, so I didn't do much. I've spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in bed on home office and I still feel tired and weak even after a week.

πŸ“„ Weekly update 2019εΉ΄09月15ζ—₯; Finally the bug was found

Wow, I've got two patrons now. Thanks!

πŸ“‚ Weekly update 2019εΉ΄09月08ζ—₯; Bugs and a lot of stress

I've published my first update post last week and immediately thought how much should I propagate this. I mean .. this should be mostly for me, but the first post was longer, with a lot of information and screenshots, so should I post it to the lobste.rs or reddit? Or should I limit this just to a twitter / RSS?

πŸ“„ Weekly update 2019εΉ΄09月01ζ—₯; What I am working on

This is my first attempt to write regular weekly blogs about all kinds of stuff I am working on, so it will be a lot longer than the rest of them. I've thought about what should I write about and decided to begin with all kind of (software) pains I have.
