A friend of mine has started making a C++ game with his new ample free time. This has convinced me to also make time to learn C++ game dev stuff. Going to have to subtract some Overwatch from my schedule, I think, as all the other things need to stay in.

So, my hour to Overwatch on M/W/F (except Wednesday/Friday this week for birthday reasons) will now be C++ game dev time.

I just read Democratizing Data. I made it a pomodoro, because it's content that's very relevant to my work (I'm now on the data management team).

There's also complementary slides.

Building trust in data is the main goal of the data management team. This article is both good reference material to store for later, and something to chew on. Though the technology stack will inevitably be much different.

Fresh 27-year-old me didn't bother making a birthday post last year (lazy).

Thu Jun 21 04:10:07 UTC 2018

Last month, I returned home from Vancouver. I believe I also finished The 4 Disciplines of Execution.

Thu Jun 21 04:10:55 UTC 2018

Last week, I went to Vertical World for the first time (I'll go every other Wednesday I think).

I also got my timer to a spot where it counts down from 10. Doesn't take me very long to get it to a much better state. Tomorrow I'll be back to doing timer stuff.

Though, I'm considering rethinking my Tuesdays/Thursdays. I think it'd be better to get to work early (to get some super productive alone-time at the office). I then leave early and get my 2 hours of side-projects when I get home.

I think I'll try that tomorrow.

Yesterday, I got back from a good two-day work trip to SF.

And I'm out of time. The planning and the end-of-day pomodoros are really necessary. I'm glad I do them.

Also, the return of Trello to the daily checklist! I actually refer to it a lot now. Instead of sending myself emails for actions, I just make 'em in Trello now. Still got email actions to port over, but weekly review will eventually tackle that.
