Jan 4: What did I do this week?
2026-01-04
Started using Gemini
Aside from posting about my projects, as I've already done once, I'm going to try to do this, which is a weekly post giving a summary of my week. I think I'm doing enough things now that I'll always have at least one thing to mention, maybe.
Started doing regular journaling in Obsidian
I'm writing this post in Obsidian, and I'm going to save it there and also add another section for myself about how I've been feeling and other private stuff. I think doing posting and journaling at the same time will make it easier to remember to do the latter.
Drawabox
I'm almost done with the first section of Drawabox, in which you learn to draw lines, ellipses, and boxes - I will be done after tomorrow's exercise, which is the same as today's - and I feel pretty good about it! I'm almost up to two weeks of daily Drawaboxing, and that's usually around when I suddenly lose interest and drop things like this, but with this there's a clear roadmap to follow and it's already fun and rewarding, so I think I might actually keep it going. We'll see.
Computer stuff
I added some local services:
- Beszel, a system monitor (because I run so many services)
- Dashy, a dashboard showing all my services (see above)
- BookLore, a library management system (think Calibre)
- Linkding, a bookmarks manager (because I keep switching browsers every now and then, so keeping bookmarks outside my browser makes sense)
- OpenTTD dedicated server (to invite others to when I've settled on settings)
Read a neat article
(I actually read it a little before this week, but I want to get in the habit of saving good articles and videos I come across.)
On Inca masonry - I didn't know only the front faces were so carefully fitted together!
