The routine of the work week and the pressure of our job responsibilities can often get the best of us. However, whether it's putting more effort into your job, or finding one that makes you truly happy, its time to commit to your career.
"Thanks Ako! Angela Yu’s boot camp is pretty cool. Based out of her London, her boot camp is called The App Brewery. Screenshots of work to follow soon"
"Finished both the Anvil and lighting tutorial. Read couple of blog posts about interactive storytelling.
Didn't get to start learning UE4 again, because of my poor schedule, ignoring routines, impulsiveness, unfocused slow working and depression. "

"More on the list of things that CAN and you should always prepare WILL go wrong: changing computers and changing software because of it. Still succeeded, 10 seconds of new frames in video form uploading to Drive."
"VSe dni sem objavljala (pišem tole 33. dan), a StickK mi kar ni hotel spustiti potrditve. Samo da veš, Zdenka, super si. Ti veš, da si objavljala, in to je to."

"My goal today was to catch up on almost all of my Anki decks. Tomorrow I will upload pics of my completed homework assignments. One deck has 118 cards due so that will take more that one day to complete Thank you again for refing my goal. "
"Found some time during naptime to continue the udemy course:
So, the rework took until the last minute basically and Flatiron itself took over from this course.
However, I had to take a 60 day leave of absence due to corona virus, so I figure I’ll continue this until I’m done.
Unfortunately, that means I need to pick up where I left off and I need to review, so what I’m going to do is start the jQuery section over again. so there’ll be some repetition in my notes.
Here we go:
What is JQuery
The most popular Javescript library.
That’s it, it’s just a library, like pry, etc in Ruby.
Here’s the Javascript Code that we wrote in our Drumkit project:
for (i = 0; i < document.querySelectorAll(“button").length; i++) {
document.querySelectorAll(“button”)[i].addEventListener(“click”, function() {
document.querySelector(“h1”).style.color = “red”;
});
}
I vaguely remember now. This was apart of the document object model. Is the DOM another library that you need to declare? I think it is, right? Because it’s a collection of classes and methods, namely, the “document” class. Brushing up on the DOM with this: https://www.w3.org/TR/WD-DOM/introduction.html — also referencing my notes. Starting to think that it might be a good idea to start with the DOM lectures instead of JQuery haha. Here we go:
Review lectures 141 through 150
Then we use its methods to manipulate the “document object.”
That code describes the behavior of the the Drum Kit we created:
it iterates through the buttons and adds an event listener (a user mouse click), and defines what should happen upon that click — the text turns red.
But this can be done more simply using the jQuery library. And that explains why its called JQuery. Similar to the querySelector methods, right?
John Resig — creator of Jquery. Felt the code was unnecessarily complex. So he wrote a library and called it Jquery."
"Ich muss eine neue Vorgehensweise finden, so dass ich jetzt schon damit beginnen kann für die kommenden Trainings (2H/20) zu säen, so dass das Jahresziel mit mehr Teilnehmern in der zweiten Jahreshälfte dennoch erreicht werden kann."
"The UCAT Consortium has officially announced that UCAT will still continue despite the effects of the Corona Virus. MedEntry added some abstract reasoning mega drill (100 questions in 25 minutes), I did the first Abstract reasoning mega drill and get 69 right. "
"I should clarify about the Stickk commitments:
I'll continue this one with Angela Yu Udemy bootcamp until I've completed it
Then I'll continue this one when I return to Flatiron school and then create a new commitment with an end date that corresponds with my new flatiron graduation date goal.
Never foresaw the impact that COVID-19 would have on us. It's definitely world-changing.
FYI, I'm in New York City -- hence our high anxiety and asking the Nanny to stay home. We're committing to Fresh Direct and Amazon deliveries to keep us alive for the next 2 months."
"Project week went well! We passed and our command-line app, Mango Jobs, worked great!
Unfortunately, I have an update on the impact of Covid19 on us: we had to tell the Nanny to stay at home for her safety as well as for ours. This means I'll have to take care of our daughter full time which means it's not feasible for me to participate in Flatiron at the moment.
Their policy allows for a 60 day leave of absence which works perfectly for us because we really need the flexibility at the moment. When I return, they'll test me and place me in the module I would have begun this coming Monday (module 2).
But I'm not going to give up learning and practicing. This commitment technically goes until June 22nd -- I'm going to have to finish this one out by completing the Angela Yu bootcamp on Udemy, then creating a new bootcamp-related commitment to continue with Flatiron when I start back up.
If COVID starts clearing up in a month and the second month is totally safe to go outside, I should be back at Flatiron near at the end of May. Hopefully I'll even be able to go in-person.
I think I'll be able to complete the Angela Yu bootcamp within these two months, though it's going to be bumpy at first because I need to retrace my steps and pick up where I left off. I believe I left off with learning JQuery and was in the middle of the tutorial lesson for it.
This time, for each section, I should try to do my own project and not just copy the assignment. That way when I get back to Flatiron, I'll be that much more familiar with creating my own apps.
What do you say, Ako, does this all sound ok to you?"
"I think my roof looks flat enough to put solar but I’m still researching alternatives because this thing is already so tall.... but I may have to give in because nothing else seems as efficient and people say flexible solar is just not as durable and fries in excess heat and there’s NOTHING BUT excess heat here "
"Got all the wood out and started sanding down some rust, (THERES SO MUCH RUST), gotta get another battery cha her or rent an angle grinder from Home Depot because I’m running out of battery too fast "
"New rule: I'll not allow myself to get away from my work until I finish the whole thing or until 4 hours of deep work (that means not going to the kitchen), with the exception of WC."
"Yesterday (26/03/20) I actually did study. Electrical- the basics of how to wire a house.
Today I took a look at Plumbing: Types of joints, how to fix a leaking joint, Plumbing system (Direct and Indirect) ; also different types of pipes and where they might be used"
"The writing two times a week daily has continued. I reflect on the positives and try different variations of the same daily affirmation which essentially is being a calm force to face the day's challenges. Making personal time is what's most important about this practice for me."
"Goal til next report:
- Finish Blender Guru's anvil and lighitng tutorial
- Finish UE4 basics from their website (except C++, ask Lucas or someone how to set it up)
- Learn about game design theory regarding what I want to do (finish 3 sections w/ notes from Extra Credits, download Masterclass, find more resources about game design theory from the best, read 9 articles from blog about interactive storytelling and make notes)"
"So far so good. All caught up for the entire week! Instructed Jerri to put soft blocks into the PayDC appointment schedule so that there is built in documentation time during work days (days of office hours). also listen to a YouTube video that mentioned about how Hal Elrod (?) talks of the three phases of willpower and discipline and how the key is to get past the first two until the habit becomes routine."
"Putting this D4Darious schedule on hold until next week (quarantine end?) because of the corona stuff, but the goal is now: develop daily writing based on his advice and start doing film analysis."
"more udemy videos on numpy.
key takeaways - how to slice multi dimensional matrices; numpy broadcasting; using np arithmetic functions is much faster than python ones; using %timeit"
