Re: guitar player's journal
Congratulations on receiving your passports, and also on the job offer (application). Always a bit silly needing to do stuff like that, but if the organization does not have a process to bypass the usual steps, it must be done. I think there should always be a fast-track process to keep valuable peo...

Re: Avalok's Journal
That's amazing! IIRC, you've been there a year this summer, and I believe you initially thought it might take longer than that before paying it off. We will have done it in four years; one year is mad haha!
Anyway, that's super cool. Will keep an eye out for the update to say you've done it

Re: Avalok's Journal
Hey, thank you both for the advice! @guitarplayer Justin is a legend! When I was learning as a kid and later teenager I used his videos a lot. His older videos have a sense of nostalgia now; very early-YouTube, filmed in his flat, grainy video quality, poor sound. I think he is a great teacher, very...

Re: Avalok's Journal
Really starting to get the knack of F and Bm chords now. Had one practice session a couple of weeks back where I realised how I needed to twist my arm inward toward my waist to apply enough pressure on the bar. Still need to perfect it, and work on changes to/from the chord, but it is coming on much...

Re: Avalok's Journal
Been getting lost in the guitar these past few weeks. It's feeling less and less like training and I'm surprised how quickly I can pick songs up vs. just a few months ago. Still struggling to get F chord right, my eblow can't move in enough to allow me to anchor the bar down, leading to an irritatin...

Re: Candide: The Liminal Space
[1] Do I have error handling in case I screw up and type a string instead of a number? No, fuck you. This ain't no corporate software. Besides, I didn't put in a "quit" option, so causing that ValueError is more often than not how I end the loop. So adjusted am I to enterprise software th...

Re: Avalok's Journal
So, new job role has come off. Now the fun starts. Had a call with the new IT lead today; we are clearly on the same page regarding the leverage points for improving our work and the value we provide as a team. Having listened to his vision, I'm hopeful the sort of changes I want to make will be met...

Re: Journal
Interesting to hear what projects you have planned for the year, particularly no. 3. It'll be interesting to hear your thoughts as you build this higher system up.
Spiral Dynamics has been on my to-read list for some time; that you found it so profound makes me wonder if it should be higher up...

Re: GTD Getting Things Done for ERE People
when I finally get around to reviewing it I'll find myself puzzling about what I might have meant by this or that Next Action, or realise that projects have been completed or become unnecessary in the meantime I quite often find a few things in the weekly review that are now irrelevant/redundant/co...

Re: What is Systems Thinking?
I would also add the regular recommendation.
The Fifth Discipline has a very good motivation for this way of thinking, as well as good examples of some systems-models.

Re: Avalok's Journal
Thanks, and yes, I am planning to make use of it to develop such skills, as well as continuing my technical development. I instigated a casual catch-up amongst the team back in the autumn after a couple of colleagues independently complained that it can feel like we're working in silos, despite bein...

Re: Avalok's Journal
Thank you both. I am trying to keep my expectations down for the next year, with the job and hopefully mortgage paid off, but it is exciting, I cannot deny. @berrytwo I think so. It is not something I have looked into it great detail, despite having heard so much about NVC over the years. I think my...

Re: Crusader's Journal
Yeah, this is a really, really great end of year post. I think that if you're wanting to remove procrastination because you've found things you want to spend time on, yet want to be doing even more of them, you're in a great place. All the best for 2024!

Re: Ecology- MMG
We are on the Cornwall-Devon border currently and the theme is similar here, much milder than the year before. There's also been a lot of precipitation (which is saying something, as where we are is a temperate rainforest). The rivers are running much higher and faster than I recall a year ago. The ...

Missed my end of November update, so plenty to update on.

Re: Avalok's Journal
That is exactly it. I am generally very unobservant, so walking is an opportunity for me to improve those faculties, and to get out of cognizing constantly (though walks are also useful for this). I am so unobservant that when a mound of dirt blocking the canal toepath had suddenly appeared one morn...

Re: Avalok's Journal
Definitely enjoying that off time @mountainFrugal. Walking to/from work has been great so far. The biggest difference has been how much more I notice along the canal when travelling in a more relaxed way. I am far more likely to stop and observe what is going on around me. Mark Boyle said he finds t...
