Just a little update

[JayBeest]

Hey all!

I just want to let y'all know that I am still alive and kicking.
I've returned to normality, somewhat.

I am very eager to continue working on Codewhale and related projects.

But I found: I need a better system to plan/track my work.

It is too much, and all-over the place. Too fragmented, I need to define a process of sorts.
It hit me: I need to do this now. For a better flow, more peace of mind, for the people around me.

Also question to self: Can I switch to doing this full-time? If so, how?

In any case, it took me a week to figure this out. Also life is happening all around me.
Now, the plan is: Come up with a plan, use this week for it.

TL;DR
I'm almost back.

No pressure at all - I'm glad to hear you're doing ok! I can completely relate to the feeling of overwhelm right now. I'm trying to remind myself to prioritize agency and make sure I'm really doing things I want to be doing. With so much going on all the time it's an active challenge.

Thanks, that means quite a lot.
It brings light, not being alone (in the dark).

I just did a bit of vibe-coding, though..

..spinning up the spin-up..

My First Widget

A native macOS Menu Bar version.

I like it, it works for me.

Small update, rather big for me. Also, i find it oddly fitting...

I let my Chinese friend do my talking, from silence.

A fitting snippet, from the planner doing its job

---

And the thing that outranks all of it. The ritual was built to hold a life, and this week the life is the subject. Kip's mother died on the 20th; the funeral is Friday. Everything above is bookkeeping next to that. What's worth saying is that the shape bent instead of breaking — Adapt folded, one pillar, one document, five files left honestly empty, and a plan that says what the week is rather than what it was supposed to be. That's the shape doing its job, and it's the first week it's been properly tested: not by a full four-pillar walk, but by a week that needed it small.

The name stayed unspent. Two sessions, nothing lost, and the choice is written down for whoever walks next.

🙏
