Over the last month or so, I've finally gotten really serious about this whole "re-learn all the math I've forgotten since college, and learn more math beyond that" initiative. So I've been going through Professor Leonard's videos on Youtube, intending to work my way through to his Differential Equations class. I'm almost done reviewing Intermediate Algebra, and this weekend will probably consist largely of wrapping that up.

I'm also reading the book How To Think Like a Mathematician by Kevin Houston, so I'll probably spend some time on that.

Like this. I might do that myself.

Relaxing. I took a new job shortly before the quarantines started in the US. I have not performed very well, the blame is about 50/50 between me and the boss/organization. But my boss would rather lay it all on me and I can't get hold of him to discuss the issues, so it's been kind of a crappy week.

So I'll be doing some trivia games with friends over Zoom tonight, run Dungeon Crawl Classics for friends over Roll20 and Discord tomorrow, and relax on Sunday. Only other plans are standard yard and house work.

Learn marketing.

I have made several side projects but hit a roadblock when it came to market it. Building is easy, marketing is hard.

Being a disney fan, couple of weeks ago, I released https://www.showsspot.com/

I am going to focus on how to get more visitors. If you have pointers to start, I am all ears.

Check the bees, plug mushroom logs, and lots of yard work including: mowing, burning, cutting out stumps, bucking logs, amending soil, and pulling weeds.

Writing a HN client in Godot for fun, because someone has to.

Still looks like hot garbage[0] and it isn't as small as it could be because I'm using C# and some external libraries but so far it works surprisingly well.

Gotta learn a bit about launch plan to figure out how many installs are needed for Alpha.

Also some Linux CLI as I'm slowly moving to a BI position.
