My husband and I are having some friends over for board games, videogames, drinks, and an all around good time.
Outside of that, I'm going to continue Marie Kondoing my clutter. I've already got several boxes ready for donation and plenty more to go. I'm also getting rid of a ton of paper files of stuff I thought I needed to keep around when I became an adult (e.g. bills, written communications from companies, account statements, etc.).
I dutifully filed them for years, learning way too late that I never actually was in a situatuon where I needed to consult them like I thought I would. As such, I have a filing cabinet filled to the brim with formal yet incosequential detritus built up over the years. My shredder is going to have the best meal it's had in a while--this weekend it will FEAST!
I'm going to play some D&D! This is especially exciting because I am usually the one running the game (DMing), so getting to play in some one else's game is a nice change of pace.

I wrote a longer comment but accidentally deleted it, so here I go again:
I'll be coming back to the top of the mountain where I'm on right now to hide from the herds of people coming to my village from Madrid and Bilbao to party. Today is my village's festivity, so it becomes crowded of people that have no respect for others, for the place, for the local farmers and their animals nor for the place being a national park in which you aren't supposed to ride your motorbikes through the grasslands or the forest. I don't live here, but I come often since I was a toddler and always try to be respectful to the people, the animals, the place, the wildlife and the laws.
It gives me really bad anxiety to see my village like this, so I'm considering sleeping outside tonight.
It's being much worse than I thought. I'm outside because now there's just too much people drinking and making noise, I hope it starts raining soon. At least it serves to remind me that I still...
It's being much worse than I thought. I'm outside because now there's just too much people drinking and making noise, I hope it starts raining soon. At least it serves to remind me that I still have quite some work to do with my anxiety.

This will be a ten day weekend for us in Turkey b/c the religious holiday merged with the two weekends.
I've registered at my uni in Ankara for MA! I'm officially a student there now. Huh, a long adventure comes to a happy ending. Now it becomes a journey.
So, I'll spend this weekend looking for a decent but cheap apartment, and a part time job. Dormitories are pricy and strict, and rents low, so I won't bother with dormitories. There is this one place I already communicated with, a small furnished single bedroom, in a nice quarter for real cheap, but a bit too far away from the school (gonna need two switches: bus-metro-bus). I want to find some alternatives and send CVs to some jobs so that I can hopefully sort both out in a single stay (tho I'm not in a rush wrt jobs).
I also have to get used to the idea that I'm not in a rush anymore or struggling for something: I earned my place at a decent university, I'm on the track that I want to be on; but I have this feeling of a void: I'm not used to not having some problem or some objective that keeps me (admittedly at times fake-)busy and masks out other problems in my life like finances or social failures. Now that I'm a 25yo and have achieved my goals, I gotta focus on that stuff. My CV is... it can't get me a job easily. My social circles are... lacking, to say the least. My finances are, well, absent. I now realise that I've used my goals as an excuse to look away from these facts. So, now is the time that I give them some attention.

How's ECS been treating you so far? A project I'm in is actually in the talks of swapping over to (pure) ECS ourselves, and while it looks decently stable for development purposes (our project will also not be done likely a year, probably longer), but it's hard to tell due to relatively sparse documentation. I recognize the performance improvements are already positively absurd, but what I'm concerned about is the difficulty of working with it, bugs, that sort of thing.
In particular, is there any tools or frameworks or what-have-you for UI yet? I haven't seen any so far and can't find anything on it.
Oh wow, that's a lot of really handy links. Thanks a bunch for that! And yeah, I've been interested in UIElements a bit, and have experimented with it, but am on-the-fence so far. I like CSS...
Oh wow, that's a lot of really handy links. Thanks a bunch for that!
And yeah, I've been interested in UIElements a bit, and have experimented with it, but am on-the-fence so far. I like CSS flexboxes and such (shocker!), but I've gotten so used to IMGUI's ease-of-prototyping that it's been a difficult transition. That, and last time I tried it I kept having constant issues with edits not updating the editor, leading to a lot of confusion and unnecessary debugging. Still, gonna keep watching it.
All in all though I'm absolutely going to dig in to ECS some more then. Last time I touched it was last January. I tinkered with it for a bit before giving up after encountering a editor crash bug resulting from the mere existence of a Rotation component that extensive debugging attempts could find no rhyme or reason for, but it's sounding a lot more stable now.

I will be relaxing and listening to music for pretty much the entire weekend, might do a little yard work tomorrow. Last week's D&D game of nine people, someone had one of those sneaky summer colds and I managed to catch it, so this has been a rather miserable week. Worst of it's over, other than some slow to go plumbing problems in my head and chest.
What'll you be doing at your new job, if you don't mind me asking? If this is a "I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you" scenario then I'm cool not knowing.

I'm a programmer/web dev. I'm going from a company associated with medical insurance to a financial company. I'll basically be their only programmer when I start. It'll be my job to get their outsourced code working properly. Going up a decent amount in pay, and with bonuses at specific milestones down the road. With a lot more opportunity to work from home.
Today is my last day at the old job and we all just got back from my going-away lunch at a bbq restaurant I like.
Turns out it's a step up in terms of pay and working from home, only. The actual work is a big step down. Boss just wants someone to transcribe her thoughts into code.

Spent the whole weekend minus the evening on Sunday with my partner. She was wonderful in helping me survive the weekend hahaha.

I know getting into a graduate program has been a long road for you, so I'm happy to see that it's finally happening! Congratulations!
Thanks a lot!

Going to the county fair with friends tomorrow and continuing to unpack after moving on Sunday.
Starting a new job on Monday.
What'll you be doing at your new job, if you don't mind me asking?
If this is a "I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you" scenario then I'm cool not knowing.
I'm a programmer/web dev. I'm going from a company associated with medical insurance to a financial company. I'll basically be their only programmer when I start. It'll be my job to get their outsourced code working properly. Going up a decent amount in pay, and with bonuses at specific milestones down the road. With a lot more opportunity to work from home.
Today is my last day at the old job and we all just got back from my going-away lunch at a bbq restaurant I like.
Well congratulations! Sounds like this is definitely a step up and in the right direction!
Turns out it's a step up in terms of pay and working from home, only. The actual work is a big step down.
Boss just wants someone to transcribe her thoughts into code.
Going to be getting some much needed R&R after my final exam and an interview I have scheduled later today.
Went to the wake park here in Abu Dhabi, but Saturday/Sunday I go back to working nights in Kizad.
I had every intention of doing a longer bike ride (50 miles). Ended up doing bicycle maintenance instead. Got my son started learning to do his own maintenance, and has some bonding time too.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll go for a ride.
I actually need to work on hitting my first 50. The most I've done was 42, and that's to the end of the closest river trail and back. However, giving the gift of bicycling is great. My dad's actually the reason I'm into it, and also why I can just about build a bike.
My weekend starts Monday, but Tuesday to Thursday i'm going to Vegas for my first time as an adult, and not even for gambling and casinos, or a convention. We're just going to run around and check stuff out, and probably eat way too much.
I am goint to meet my friends.
