Tuesday - 27th week after Pentecost

Meditations and Idea Capture

Onscreen keyboard with custom symbols

  • Could be a good piece of software to write

Other problem-storming

  • Symbol input
  • Hassle of going from websites with .zip-ped CAD to actually opening it up in your program
  • Calculators
    • Torsion
    • Bolted joints
    • Wedges
    • More conventional motor sizing techniques
    • OK, so I understand how to make decently usable (and suckless) software, but there's major problems here:
      • How can this be useful as documentation / play nice with others (should it?)
      • How can I monetize?
        • SAAS it: freemium access to the tools.
          • Basic calcs are available publicly but pay for full access
        • SAYOI it: freemium ownership of the tools
          • One-time though, you gotta pay for updates
          • Shopify!?
          • This has the advantage of more $ when stuff gets rolled out
          • This is also the more ethically sound option and has less headache
          • It's what I'd want the tool to be, anyways
          • Sponsor FRC teams
  • Daily prayer / whatever sent to your kindle
    • "Authorize my email address and you can get stuff from me"
  • Email -> kindle redirect

Recollection

What went well today?

  • ! I communicated mostly clearly with Bob about expectations for the layup table
  • ! I listened to the Fr. Ripperger talk and made an Orarion
  • ! I'm continuing to stick to using obsidian, and it's working well
  • ! I had an interesting thought about monetizing EveryCalc
  • ! I'm getting MED recordings scheduled.
  • ! I made dinner at home which was quite enjoyable.
  • ! I went to the grocery store before work
  • ! I prayed a rosary

I had a really good day. Thank you LORD. I know part of that is I didn't do a lot, but I enjoyed my day and am ready for a bigger one tomorrow.

What sins have I committed today?

  • I spent a little time being distracted by youtube (15 mins)
  • I put off making calls at work

What graces did I squander?

  • I didn't use the hour I had after the parish council meeting to write for MED like I had hoped
  • I could've spoken up a little more at the parish council meeting

Was I two-minded?

  • I didn't enter deeply into compline.
