Wow, I had been feeling so stuck early last week and the week before. Everything felt impossible but getting small pointers here and there has really helped me move forward, learn and gain some confidence. I keep letting myself feel like whatever thing I am struggling with is going to finally be that thing I can’t ever understand but it’s just not true. I can learn anything I want to if I try hard enough. It’s just hard to remember that in the middle of confusion.

Today I got placeholder_img and thumbnails working! I also tweaked my bulk event creation script to add those features. I got my script for starring events to run and print out the starred event count. I have my sprite toggling from starred to un-starred. Now I just have to figure out how to get the thing to hover over the thumbnail. I think I’ll have it placed below the actual video but it’s all stuff we need to talk about.

Wayne picked me up and we went to Trader Joe’s to get stuff for dinner. We decided to have green curry over rice. It would be simple and fast! When we got home I helped get everything prepared. When Alice came over, Wayne headed for the shower and she and I finished cooking. Tonight we had the six of us, Alice, Jason, Spencer, John, Miri, Dale, Baby Michael (who was wide awake and so much fun!), Lauren, Sean, Roberto, Frankie, Taylor and Delaney. Everyone loved dinner so we will keep that one in the rotation for sure.

Today I learned how NOT to send a command to my tmux session. I crashed the whole thing while trying to figure out how to save sessions. The point is to recover them in the event of a crash. So much for that! I’m gonna tackle it tomorrow though hopefully.
