This week note covers the week of 2nd–8th February.

Life#

My wife’s sickness continued into this week. The doctor did not prescribe antibiotics on the first visit last week, so we visited again this week and finally got prescribed some. I’m so thankful to scientists and medical professionals for inventing antibiotics. She is recovering well.

The fatigue of illness kept us mostly doing bare minimum, no outings or events this week. I missed walking 10k steps a few days, and I had to walk 13–14k on few other days to compensate. My body has adjusted to this routine of exercise now. I’m hoping to move it up a notch in the upcoming weeks.

The weather has been somewhat treacherous of late, with days reaching 30°C (86°F) and nights at 15°C (59°F). The large variation has been the cause of the spreading viral sickness, or so our doctor told us. Houses in India do not have insulation, so we are layering up or down depending on the temperature.

Work#

Google renamed the ZetaSQL project to GoogleSQL last week. So now I’m working on GoogleSQL within-and-out Google. I need to do some configuration so that my name starts showing up in the commits in the Github repo.

Personal Projects#

I mentioned in my last week note that I moved my websites and services to a Hetzner VPS. After running it for a week, yesterday I shut down my Digital Ocean VPS for good after a run time of 12 years!

This week I mostly worked on the IndieWebClub Bangalore website. I added:

a webring for the club members,
the member directory page,
light mode CSS styles, and
an ad-hoc build system to simplify and optimize the website build.

Unfortunately, I’m missing today’s session. This is the second writing oriented session I’ve missed in a row, and I’m sad about it.

Reading & Watching#

I’ve made it through the first chapter of Proto by Laura Spinney despite being tired and distracted. I hope to finish it this month.

Wife and I watched the entire season of the new Marvel TV show Wonder Man. It was refreshing to see a show not about superpowers (mostly), but instead focusing on characters’ lives and aspirations. I went in not knowing what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised to find it a drama-comedy. We need more Trevor in Marvel.

Social Media#

I literally did not post even a single thing on social media this week (not counting replies), so that’s new.

Interesting Internet Links#

That’s all for this week. You can subscribe to the feed of my week notes for updates.
