(h2 "week 2")
(p (em "drinking-from-firehose intensifies")))
(p "ok, there's a lot going on here. i may need to start making some decisions about where to focus my time. i've got a pretty full schedule and have done at least a couple hours of head-down coding each day. the problem is stuff like... a creative coding thing. i wanted to spend a couple hours each week just making beep-boop noises in some esoteric live-coding environments. ("
(a ((href "")) "orca") " and " (a ((href "")) "overtone")
(a ((href "https://100r.co/site/orca.html")) "orca") " and " (a ((href "https://overtone.github.io/")) "overtone")
"). there's a new prompt each week, i open up my tools (which themselves are somewhat newt o me--i've only done little things with them. but i'm on a relatively new system (new to linux and using mint on one machine and nixos on another) and i haven't entirely figured out how to patch midi messages from one process to another. so i'll go read about pipewire and now i'm building some programs to help me create pipewire patches and i'm racing through this process wondering if this is what i want to be doing right now. i don't want to just spend a couple hours building dependencies for the tools i intend to use to creatively code, i want to understand what i'm doing. but understanding alsa wasn't really the point of the prompt -- so i need to either slow down and dive deep or pivot to something else")
(p "i guess that's kinda how i wound up focusing more on this project than i intended this week: "
(a ((href "")) "propagation networks in clojure")
"it's fun--it's challenging enough that i'm learning more about the language than i would just following a tutorial. i'm also convincing myself that this is part of the curriculum. i do an intro project to learn the language, this weekend and into next week i put it behind a server. next week i see if i can find someone interested in helping with a rough graph manipulation gui frontend. by next weekend, i package and deploy it--in whatever state it happens to be in.")

(p "and i think on week 4 i assess whether to continue building the concepts in the paper or shift my focus to uf-library")
(p "okay, so more thinkings from the week and more goals for the next. the other streams have been some thinking with people on human computer interaction (next week we're talking end user programming yay!) the beginnings of a group to talk about doing computer in ways that are more socially oriented, and some study groups--working through the wizard book, the missing cs semester course, and a 'tool time' group as well. both of these are building on some things that i'm already pretty comfortable with and it's nice to have a group to work through the back half of the wizard book + the shell,git,vim tricks i haven't figured out for myself yet and the debugging and profiling stuff i know too little about and the data wrangling techniques that make logs so powerful. excited for tool time too! gonna do some ide hacking maybe? so i've got some homework to that end for the weekend, plus i think i want to do a little spreadsheet side project that (if it works decently) i'd like to present on next week")
(p "o! and to do way more pairing. i haven't gotten up to daily pairing sessions yet, but that's definitely something i want to hold myself to next week! leaning on pairing-bot for sure, but also reaching out and being open to impromptu pairing sessions. (plus some pairing sessions with partners on projects outside of rc)")
