Goal smashing and missing

August and September were weird months due to some things happening at work. It's pretty much settled down now, and I will be working on some exciting new things.

First off, I didn't hit any of my goals for C or golang projects. However, I did continue working on my small Android project (simple todo list). I'm making really slow progress on it since I spend just one evening per week (or something like it) on it. I've also been making really slow progress on my image processing online class. I've only been spending about an evening per week on it as well.

In August and September, I've finished Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World (Adam Grant) and Outliers: The Story of Success (Malcolm Gladwell). I just started Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for some lighter reading.

I also started a class on binary exploitation with a colleague. Kind of going slowly through it, but I am getting more comfortable reading assembly and using gdb.

In the middle of all that stuff going on in the last 2 months, I scratched a few things off the "bucket list" for work:

1. Got me some nice swag
2. Went to a class about matcha (that goes in line with my "bucket list" item of signing up for cooking classes)
3. Rode a company-branded bike
4. Gave stuff away for free and got some free stuff via the internal classifieds
5. JOINED THE GYM

Last but not least, I've begun exercising again. Did I mention that I joined the gym?

Compiling pgmodeler on Yosemite (with Homebrew)

Refer to  pgmodeler installation . Steps: Clone the pgmodeler git repo. Use Homebrew to install qt5 (5.4.2, see here ), libxml2, and postgresql. Edit the pgmodeler.pri (not .pro) file and change these variables: PGSQL_LIB = /usr/local/opt/postgresql/lib/libpq.dylib PGSQL_INC = /usr/local/opt/postgresql/include XML_INC = /usr/local/opt/libxml2/include/libxml2 XML_LIB = /usr/local/opt/libxml2/lib/libxml2.dylib Follow instructions to compile pgmodeler (you might need to put Qt's binaries in your PATH. I was lazy and didn't). $ /usr/local/opt/qt5/bin/qmake pgmodeler.pro $ make $ make install $ cd /Applications $ /usr/local/opt/qt5/bin/macdeployqt pgmodeler.app -executable=pgmodeler.app/Contents/MacOS/pgmodeler-ch -executable=pgmodeler.app/Contents/MacOS/pgmodeler-cli Then I was able to do $ open pgmodeler.app

pgmodeler build in Debian Jessie

This is my qmake version: $ qmake -v QMake version 3.0 Using Qt version 5.3.2 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu I had to edit linuxdeploy.sh: 1. Add "-makefile" to the QMAKE_ARGS variable: $ qmake -h Usage: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake [mode] [options] [files] where mode is either "-makefile" (default) or "-project" QMAKE_ARGS="-makefile -r -spec linux-clang" 2. Right before "Running qmake...", I added another line to include pgmodeler.pro in the qmake invocation: QMAKE_ARGS="$QMAKE_ARGS pgmodeler.pro" Then I ran ./linuxdeploy.sh -no-qt-libs (https://github.com/pgmodeler/pgmodeler/issues/674)

The end of summer

It's been a wild year. Gains and losses. COVID-19 and the shelter in place. Lately, fires. Today was a very dark day, literally. For about half the daylight hours, there was so much ash in the air that it looked like it was close to sunset, but it was definitely not anywhere near as beautiful. Red sun following us everywhere. Bubonic plague found on fleas in Lake Tahoe. The list goes on and on. Everyone is tired. Exhausted. Burnt out. There is no respite, just a new normal that seems like an even steeper climb than before. Sleep gives way to another day with no refreshment. Yes, that's how things seem. But there have also been bright moments. Time spent with family, especially with the little one. Growing and nurturing plants, building things, trying new recipes, going to the store to shop for dinner, reading books, coloring with crayons... We grow closer together, weaving together a blanket of love and memories that we wrap ourselves in.
