A Look Back: Week Ending September 13th

Posted on

Lots of times it’s easy to feel bad about missing deadlines but when you add it all up, it turns out a lot of things happened last week.

Guildflow

  • Pushed out a new build (see the CHANGELOG). Mostly bug fixes and security updates. Also re-added the ability to grant the admin role to other members. One big feature was close but not ready. Maybe next week.
  • Made some good progress on a new feature allowing custom pages and an editable navigation. Didn’t make this week’s deployment but looking good locally.
  • Started documenting the new focus on technical meetups.

Work

  • Recorded a Remote User Testing Session for an iOS to Mac remote app. Client was very happy with how it turned out.
  • Took two meetings to discuss new work opportunities, one iOS and the other Elixir.
  • Worked on a project proposal for the iOS lead.
  • Attended two separate Mastermind meetings.
  • Had to postpone my Elixir meetup due to a family emergency. Have rescheduled it for 2 weeks later.
  • Attended Philly CocoaHeads social hour.
  • Got in a second writing session for the meetup book. Need to do better about making time for this.
  • Prepared September Tax Estimate payments. Will mail out tomorrow.
  • Attended weekly Android Book Club and reviewed ConstraintLayout and the Room database library.
  • Started a monthly donation to the Mozilla Foundation.

Personal

  • Helped a friend with some project research.
  • Ended up sadly canceling my YMCA membership since I could never get a lap swim reservation under the new rules. Hope to revisit this when it is too cold to walk in the morning.
  • Attended IndyHall Town Hall.
  • Attended IndyHall Show and Tell.
