This week note covers the week of 16th–22nd February.
Life#
Back-from-vacation week is never a great one. This week we struggled to settle back in our daily routines. Our sleep schedules were out of whack. I, in particular, slept pretty badly till Friday. Only yesterday I was able to sleep well.
Being sleep deprived most days caused me to be working in a low-energy state, just getting the minimum done. I had to resort to take auto-rickshaws to pick up A from school as I didn’t feel like driving. I forced myself to go on walks to complete my steps. Somehow we all made it through the week.
Current daily average steps per month: 10162
Writing#
I’ve not written anything in the last one month except these week notes. Some ideas have been brewing in my head, but I’ve been too out of energy to write about them. Hopefully, things will improve.
On the bright side, my note A Short Survey of Compiler Targets was published in the February issue of the PagedOut!. The process of writing, editing, and publication took three months. This issue is full of interesting articles. Go check them out! Or subscribe to the feed of individual articles (created by me).
Personal Projects#
stic.earth#
I improved the RSS to newsletter automation I set up last week to support sending digest emails with multiple posts. Which I then used to …
IndieWebClub Bangalore#
… set up the weekly digest newsletter for IndieWebClub Bangalore. Subscribe to it to receive a digest of articles every Wednesday.
I also got email working for the website. Now the admins can be reached by email. I wrote a simple Cloudflare email worker to forward all incoming mails to the admins’ personal addresses. It was hard to test and debug but I got it working in the end.
Unfortunately, I missed attending the technical session of IWCB yesterday. If you are interested in creating and running a website of your own and are in Bangalore, I highly suggest attending one of these sessions.
Watching#
This week I watched The Residence with my wife. We seriously couldn’t stop watching it. Some people may find it too verbose but I like the rapidly-talking protagonist and the chain of mysteries. I also finished watching Tatsuki Fujimoto 17–26. It was exactly the kind of quirky anime I like. Too bad, most of the anime these days are drab Isekais.
Interesting Internet Links#
- Home-Cooked Software and Barefoot Developers
- What is a build system, anyway?
- Query-based compiler architectures
