It was a solid week in SF and I'll be bookending it with a solid weekend with family.

I gots some plans, too, Stephan. Plans. Wrote 'em in my notebook when I realized I wouldn't have a means of charging my laptop until I got to my aunt's and wanted to make sure I had charge in case I needed to do some OpsLead stuff. So lots of notebook thinking about work-work and personal-work.

I'm excited, but it's late so more diary exposition later.

Time for some thinking!

Work thinking, though. So gots to do it in a private area.

Thu May 24 22:36:31 UTC 2018

Pomodoro starting now.

Thu May 24 22:37:52 UTC 2018

Nope, needed music to drown out distractions. Restarting.

Thu May 24 22:58:46 UTC 2018

Went from task at hand to discussing other task. No pomodoro points for that.

Still got some work in, at least.

Thu May 24 23:05:45 UTC 2018

Pomodoro starting now.

Thu May 24 23:33:58 UTC 2018

Got distracted right at the end. Also, need to actually have an alarm ring because I got properly focused and didn't look at my watch much.

Also going to need a smarter capturing of pomodoro data if I start doing this seriously. For now I'll need the end of day review to process my notes.

Which... actually, the end of day review is supposed to be now.

Fri May 25 03:02:21 UTC 2018

Okay, now it's end of day review time.

Which I guess should be a pomodoro?

Sure.

Let's dust off my old timer.

All right. I managed... one pomodoro today.

I guess it'll be two after this one.

I've decided it's very important to become a power user of Mixpanel (aka the comapny I work for).

There are pain points to using our product that I haven't internalized because I don't use the product. There are processes external to the product that salespeople in our company use to help customers setup Mixpanel, which should be a part of the Mixpanel product itself.

I'm reminded of an annecdote I've heard before. There was an app available for both iPhone and Android, but the Android version was terrible. When trying to figure out why, the manager of the Android team realized that all the devs had iPhones. These devs were forced to switch to Android phones and had to use the app they were developing. The Android app quickly caught up to its sister version.

Further, I have a use-case for Mixpanel.... Or an idea on how to use it.

As you know, I've been reading the 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX), and the 3rd disicpline is "Keep a Compelling Scoreboard". This means capture the metrics for the scoreboard, and showing those numbers in a clear "Are we winning or losing?" way.

This should absolutely be something I can do with Mixpanel.

Fri May 25 03:18:06 UTC 2018

Minor distraction: dryer is done.

Fri May 25 03:18:28 UTC 2018

There's a lot of ideas swirling in my head right now. But basically I'm thinking I should:

  • get familiar with the Mixpanel projects (aka Mixpanel's dogfood projects)
  • make my own smaller project for any random reason

In any case, I want to have some wildly important goals (WIGs) that I'm scoreboarding. There's the two projects I am on, which I won't detail here at all, and this one.

And that's my end-of-day review. I'll try to add structure to this as time goes on.

Fri May 25 03:48:53 UTC 2018

My mind is just racing right now.

Fri May 25 03:52:58 UTC 2018

I just made it so the home page of my site: http://ksionda.me/ redirects to this here diary. The home page has been an embarassing lie for a long time, better to just point to my diary for now.

Fri May 25 04:03:24 UTC 2018

End of day routine time. Then winding down for bed.

Long day.

Good day.

But long day.

A discussion of my strategies for being productive led to a recently-diagnoised-with-ADHD friend of mine to ask if I've gotten screened for ADHD. It is something that a doctor mentioned as a possibility a long time ago but that's as far as it got.

Managed some more reading of 4DX during downtime that didn't really get logged in my timeblock above so I wanted to mention it here. Really enjoying it. Feels very relevant to the goals of the company I work for as well. Might send some emails to some people about my thoughts.

Did a lot of thinking. Maybe should write more down. Tired, though. Time for bed. Still gots to do some maintenance stuff, too.

Tue May 22 06:32:43 UTC 2018

Before I go to sleep, a quick entry about a brand new, already over, temporary friendship with Jenna. I met her on my way to the BART station at 19th St in Oakland. I was coming back from my friend's rad choir performance, vegan pizza from Extreme Pizza in hand, when I met Jenna.

"Do you know if the BART station is on this street? And if so, which direction to go in?" she asked.

I myself wasn't sure if I was on the right street. "If it's on this streetm, it's in that direction," I told her, pointing the direction I was already walking. "We can find it together or fail together," I offered. "Want a slice of pizza?"

I had gotten way too much pizza for myself.

"No, thanks."

She had just moved to Berkeley, and she wasn't staying. Her partner had gotten a job here but already resigned, so they were spending the month there exploring before moving on.

"Why are you here? For pizza?" she asked me. I explained that I wor in SF for a week every few months and that a friend had a choir performance in the area. I added that the pizza place was open and had vegan options. "Oh, you're vegan? Me too." She pointed at some badges she had pinned to her purse.

We talked about random things. It was a pleasant experience. My train came and I told her, "I'm glad our two ships passed each other in the night. Have a good life." And that was that.

There's something special about people you meet and never meet again, Stephan. I cherish such friendships. They have their place right alongside lifelong relationships, I think. Just as valid. Just as real. Not as important, to be properly honest, but still something I'm glad to inject into my life.

And so, I want to remember it. What other reason do diaries exist for?

Tue May 22 06:44:53 UTC 2018

I've gotten to the point where there are posts from the previous year on this blog! Trippy.

It has inspired me to reflect on last year's post, last month's post, and last week's post (I already look at yesterday's post each day).

Last year I wrote about making pygame exe files. Also, noticed that markdown was maintaining line breaks and "fixed" that by undoing line breaks in the markdown. I would later fix it via settings so I could have the file look how I wanted it to in the editor. Notably, the title is "May 21th", not "May 21st".

Last month was the Sunday my sister was in town. I had a lot to write about the day, even though it belonged to my wife. I am just about finished with The First 20 Hours at this point last month. I was feeling really confident about projects, but have only kept up with rock-climbing.

Which is still a victory.

The 4 Disciplines of Execution is proving to be a great read in its own right, and ironically may be giving me the framework I need to make serious progress on projects.

We'll see though.

Eventually I will learn a means of keeping my systems intact when in a new environment (aka on some sort of vacation). Though, it may mean any travel. We'll see tomorrow considering I'll be working in SF next week.
