General thoughts on today
As normal with these types of endeavours life gets in the way. I need to get into a regular discipline and keep to it… so attempt number 2 :) Big discissions on the horizon:
- Move to West Wales
- The choice of high school for Isaac
- Set for Dartmouth
- Accommodation for Dartmouth or drive I’ve added these to a BIG Decision List to keep track of the key things I need to sort out and a lower levelTask List for day to day stuff I need to cross off. Also added links to the template so I don’t forget them.
Work
Not much to note. The Data Visualisation module is currently being fixed - a number of defects and there’s question on whether there is enough resources to use it across a wide group of people. But the bigger piece of work is now documenting the dataflows in JPA and getting the team to the level of understanding where we can run our own reports. This linked to the Python work means we will finally have a fully capable team… no pressure.
Exercise
Has been slipping - I’m managing to get one session in a week and I’m still walking Isaac to school but I feel like I’m not keeping up what I need. So another area of focus.
Prayer
Reading
John 7:37-38
37 Now on the last and most important day of the feast, Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink! 38 He who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water.’”
Thoughts
Rivers of living water - the holy spirit, Christian agency flowing out into the world from the hearts of those who truly believe.
Prayers
Went through Prayer List and prated for those who are ill at this time.
Computer
I’ve been making great strides in my python work…generative art has really helped improve my base coding in Python and giving me an excuse to code everyday. Over future entries I’ll start adding some in as they’re finished. At the moment I’m working through using flow fields and the work of Tyler Hobbs (website) has been a great inspiration.
TV
Almost finished Supernatural - such a great series…15 seasons :) Added it to my TV Series List list.
Food
Like exercise this needs to improve - too many take aways and crappy food.
Life
I never seem to get to this section as much of what occupies me is covered above but probably this is the section I need to work on most. Things seem to be ticking along at the moment - in the right direction. I’m struggling to juggle everything time wise, which is a perennial problem for me. The move to West Wales sits on my mind a lot. Mainly I’m torn over if it’s the right thing for Isaac. The other aspects (my Dad, friends, work) will all work out… but for Isaac this will be such a hard challenge and sets a point in his timeline of ‘What if…‘. Everyone says to just go for it - but they’re not as invested in the outcome…no skin in the game so to speak.
