No one in my team was in the office today so I had a sneaky extended lunch break to pick up my Rock Pi. I might try Home Assistant on it if there's a working image.
I feel that. Sometimes you feel like there's so much you should be doing that you do nothing. Or you end up working on the least important thing. Or you're getting things done but it doesn't feel like you're getting anything done.
It will be a good bit of side money I can put to use. It's down the road from my normal job, and I can apply everything I've learned there to help this guy out.
Oh, and Jaycar is selling an RPi copy pretty cheap at the moment, the Rock 4C. I've been looking at these sorts of things for a while and decided to finally get one. It will really just be another computer around but at least it's not as big as a laptop.
I went to a guy's business that's looking for some marketing support today. He wasn't there but it worked out well. I asked for him and one of his employees called him and put me on the phone, that proves I showed up and was there.
He said to come back at 7:30 tomorrow morning to talk, I bet he thinks I won't show up. I've been looking for a bit of extra side work like this for a couple of years now, I had some stuff going on before the boys were born and that fell away, I haven't been able to find anything since.
I feel like I'm going to get something because this sort of side work always comes in twos for me. I've been talking to some other potential leads and one of them will probably come through at the same time.
I voted in the Triple J Hottest 100 Australian Songs of all time. It's very Triple J coded with the songs you can vote on, I had to manually add Shit on the Liver by King Parrot. One of the greatest Australian songs and music videos of all time.
I rode up to the water tower again yesterday and cutting across the hills is very doable. The park construction could be a blocker at times but there are still other options for me to try out.
I try to make a point of everyone eating at the table together now with the kids. There are occasions that's not the case but they're few and far between fortunately
I figure every woman has at least one piece of clothing they haven't worn yet because they haven't found the occasion, and this was the chance to finally break something out
We went to the burlesque show for our Anniversary last night. There was a best dressed prize so I told my girlfriend to find something she's never had a chance to wear and dress as gay as you can.
My logic was you dress up extravagantly as you can because there will either be someone more dressed up as you, or you win a prize.
And she won!
She felt overdressed because most of the crowd was just old people, but that meant she was the clear winner, so she had a good time and it made the night a bit more special
Those shark eggs are so cool, they're like an alien egg in real life. I'm surprised I haven't seen something that used them for inspiration yet
