liner notes:
Professional : A whole lot of meetings like any normal Tuesday. 2 meetings even overlapped each other. haha Got to demo the application for the workshops I've got coming up in a team meeting. It worked. I decided to record a promo video for my workshop on Tuesday. I opened up the old project I was working on. My internet has been weird all day so I think that made the Codespace not open up properly or something. Finally got it running and did a quick update to change a setting so that it would sound better. I don't know what I did, but I got a weird glitch. It was lunch time so I just shut everything down and took a break. Came back with a full stomach and a clear mind. I immediately saw what I did. Like I said, it was an old version of the workshop and the code I updated the application with old code that had the wrong variable. Fixed that, got it working, recorded the promo video, edited it and sent it to my manager and the person that is booking the workshops to get their feedback. They liked it. I'm going to post it to my social media accounts tomorrow morning. Finished the day working on my upcoming workshop series.
Personal : Last night, I went through a bunch of tracks for upcoming radio shows. I also purchased the Bandcamp projects for this week and started putting together the social media posts. Studied Japanese a little bit and went to sleep.
Ran some prints on different sublimation papers that I ordered using different printer settings. It's kind of getting there. Luckily, the custom slipmat designs come out pretty clean so I printed and made those. I'm going to make and 3D print a jig for one of the items so that I can consistently place it so that when I do the laser engraving, it's always in the same place. I'm going to create it in time that I can print it after these other promo items finish printing. Got like an hour and 15 minutes left. I want to do all the laser engraving stuff tomorrow. I want to get a set of prototypes that I can get to one of the artists I'm working with to get their feedback and approval. That reminds me, I need to glue this stuff together for the weight in one of the items. Also, a new machine I want to get for the shop just went on Kickstarter. When I get it, it will add a whole new capability to what I can make. This could also take one of the items I make now to a whole new level! I swear this is the last machine I'm buying! haha My company needs to start making money with the stuff I have now. The real issue is that I take to long trying to perfect what I'm making. I have a list of items that I can make for prospective clients/business that I want to reach out to. Just need to get through this current project and get it out the door and for sale so I can focus on other projects that will hopefully generate recurring income. If this current project goes well, I should be able to pay off all the equipment I have so that I start in the positive. We'll see! Going to work on this jig, go through tracks, finish up the social media posts and study Japanese, right after dinner. haha.
Have a great night!
peace piece

Man, always so busy! Between the job, the side-gig and then learning Japanese.
Well done 😎
