Jan roundup

[wallwalker]

Progress for January wasn't great, but that's largely because I didn't have any real goals until February.

Career:
Well, I've gotten better at bash shell scripting and finished a DevOps course. No luck yet on finding a good Java project. My current Big Project is... progressing... but I have no idea how to quantify it.
I've managed 3 days a week for going to the office. Which, honestly, should be enough.

Hobbies:
I haven't managed a sketch on the easel yet. I really should get some of my black and white charcoal and try.
On GIMP... not much, really. Just this guy.


I'm on target for GYWO and can largely thank threesentenceficathon for that. As for games... nope, haven't started anything new yet. A lot of my video game time was spent on WoW, unexpectedly enough.

Fitness/Health: (Starting small on this.)
I've been able to manage the bike for the last week. The rest... I'm working on it.

Raccoon pope!! I don't know what I expected when I clicked haha. Exactly what it says on the tin :D

My husband loves raccoons, and I used to follow Liar Town USA back in the day.

I don't remember why I brought up the Raccoon Pope at my latest tabletop game but he's become something of a meme, and also pilots an attack helicopter that plays Flight of the Valkyries at full volume whenever he's not firing at zombies.

...it's a fun game.

I do New Year's resolutions support in January, but I've seen arguments saying that February is a better time for new goals.

Go you! Coding is a great skill to learn.

I support FujoVerse. I can't code, but I approve making tools available to people who can, because maybe they'll make things I will enjoy.

That's a good idea.

If you want to look at foundation skills, consider Draw a Box. It explains how to learn from level-grinding exercises.

If you want to draw things that hold your interest, consider still life. There are many fascinating subjects to draw, and you can stack up several things that represent an important aspect of your life. The more excited you are, the more likely you will actually sit down and draw.
