A year ago,
I started working on my "Japaense study helper" idea. It didn't get very far.
This is relevant, as I'm going to start working on this project again.
Timer remake... eh. Now that I don't want to spend personal project time using
panel, I feel the need to start over... again.
Hmmm.... But I need to practice finishing, and I will use the updated timer if
I get it to a working state.
If I continue to not do things, I will abandon the project come October, but
until then I will try to devote some time to the timer remake and finish it
using the stuff I'm already using (aka panel).

The numbers are in for how much Quakecon cost me and it was... $3,186.86.
Ouch? Not bad? This is my first time actually tracking this spending so I don't
know. Let's break it down:
CATEGORIES: SPENDING
- Air fare: $898.80
- Hotel: $760.50
- Rentals: $515.00
- BYOC: $177.32
- Food: $142.96
- Swag: $138.00
- Lyft: $136.12
- Games: $65.81
- Coffee: $52.35
Rentals I overspent by $150 by renting a big screen and... not being able to
use it. Hotel could've been cheaper, but then I would've had to return Sunday
night. Air fare... could've been bought earlier or with proper paying attention
or with attempting to use points. BYOC costs are not negiotiable by me. Swag
was worth the cost (even if a bit pricey for a mug and two hoodies). Lyft includes:
- Home to airport: $34.06
- Airport to hotel: $18.96
- Hotel to walmart: $16.65
- Walmart to hotel: $11.08
- Hotel to airport: $19.03
- Airport to home: $36.34
Technically, the lyfts for food are food expenses? Maybe I should mark it as such?
In any case, improvements will be made next year on rental costs. Swag will
also probably be less costly (though no promises). Game purchases are part of
the fun of Quakecon and if anything I should expect to spend around $100 (aka
allow more spending if the situation calls for it).
Coffee and food could probably be improved on. Hotel could be improved by $165
by leaving Sunday night. However... flights on Sunday cost more so it's a
balance there. And leaving on Monday was nicely stress-free. It's worth
considering whether or not it was worth it.
With better luggage, it'd be more reasonable to take public transit between my
home and SeaTac airport, saving about $65.
Buying flights at a smarter time could easily be half as expensive (looking at
cost of same flights now). Just waited too long.
Even with improvements, though, costs will probably be around $2500 minimum.
This is useful information.
I think I'll make budgeting $300 for Quakecon each month throughout the year a
part of my YNABing.

Noticed that the library hasn't kept tabs on the books I've checked out. So
I've updated the various lists they do track for me with the stuff I've checked
out (most of them went into a "Completed" list, but some aren't finished, so
they're in "For later" or "In progress").
That took up a lot of time, so had to skip a bunch of the weekly review. That's
okay. Better than nothing at all, and anything missed that's truly important
will find its way back to me eventually. Though, I still want to be better at
this going forward.
Part of being better is doing it, and part of doing it is making sure I want to
do it, and part of that is it not being too cumbersome or time-consuming to do.

Reading today:
I'm quite enjoying the Pragmatic Programmer, Stephan. It has a list of goals
that inspired the second bit of reading there. Those goals are (from page 14
within section "Your Knowledge Portfolio"):
- Learn at least one new language every year
- Read a technical book each quarter
- Read nontechnical books, too
- Take classes
- Participate in local user groups
- Experiment with different environments
- Stay current
- Get wired
Good goals to give a go. I was curious about Haskell and WebAssembly, but I'm
willing to just dig deeper into TypeScript and React.js for "this year". Though
what constitutes "this year", I'm not sure.
C++ and WebAssembly are also worth considering, I think.

Watched today: various things. A bunch of videos by an anime YouTuber called
Mother's Basement.
Nothing really worth singling out, though.
Mon Aug 20 04:29:59 UTC 2018
I'm more confident in my decision to abandon using panel for personal projects.
I'll get the experience I need in it at work, where I can poke knowledgeable
people more easily. I still don't want to abandon my timer remake, however....
So I shall still have the October deadline and do some thinking once I have
IGDA admin stuff dealt with.
