This week note covers the week of 2nd–8th March.
Life#
This is another late week note because I was quite overwhelmed to write one yesterday. Life has been hectic, tiring, fun, and anxiety inducing last week. Somehow we march on.
I’ve made sleeping on time a priority and I’m getting a full 8.5 hours of sleep now. I’m waking up refreshed and not feeling sleepy during the days. I’ve also increased my walking pace and now I can walk 5km (3.2mi) in 55 minutes! Body has been a little sore, so I’m taking one rest day every week. I’ve started taking A to swimming classes now, so I get to spend few hours in the pool every week, and I really like it. I should definitely finish my swimming lessons some day soon.
Holi was on last Wednesday. I took a day off from work and got A home early to celebrate. We (well, mostly A and my wife) played Holi with pichkaris (water guns) and color. I took many photographs. A had a plenty of fun in the first proper Holi of her life. Later we had sweets and fried food to complete the celebrations.
Summer is properly here with temperatures reaching 32°C (90°F). ACs are on now for a few hours each day. I hear that this year may be the hottest ever.
Current daily average steps per month: 10745
Personal Projects#
In the last week note, I mentioned that I optimized my website generator to reduce its memory use to 2GB. Last week I rescaled my VPS to 4GB RAM, thus saving me some money in server fees. I haven’t notices any issues with the new setup till now. I also deleted my Digital Ocean VPS backups, so I don’t need to pay them anymore.
Last Thursday I enabled Cloudflare verification for few more countries for my website, and the traffic to my website dropped by more than half. It made me a little sad, but it’s better to know the truth that I’m not really popular, it’s just bad crawlers.
2025 had been a year of me tying some loose ends. I finished some programming projects, shipped improvements to my website that I’d been itching for, finished writing few blog series etc. Now the time is ripe to get started on new projects! Last week I started on one: writing a Co to JavaScript compiler (or transpiler as some may call it). I did the basic setup and got a pretty printer for Co working. Next is doing some analysis passes. I have some previous experience in writing such compilers so this is mostly about putting things together and testing it rigorously. Once I’m done, I’ll write posts about it to expand the series.
Watching#
I continued watching Lord of Mysteries, though it’s turning out to be pretty gory and is giving me weird nightmares. Frieren is coming along. Last few episodes have amped up the action. Wife and I carried on slowly watching Love Through a Prism.
