You'll notice that it has been more than two months since I last posted...sigh
I'll cut myself a very small amount of slack: I did go on vaction to see my extended family in India and I did spend quite some time feeling sick these last few months.
BUT TWO MONTHS without a post?! Come ON man :(
I fell into the trap that I talked about in my first post. But it wasn't the trap I outlined, it was some sort of weird side-trap that I hadn't considered. How foolish. I talked a lot about how making plans and researching how to do something perfectly made me feel like I was getting something done while I was really just engaging in Pretentiously Productive Procrastination ™
But I failed to consider that even while I was avoiding the researching and actually executing, it's also important to publish on a regular basis. Something, anything, quick discussions of what you're up to, are important as a form of documentation for yourself and for anyone listening to you.
(If anyone is listening, drop me a line! :D )
But yeah. I dropped the ball, and kinda just got caught up in life without making any sort of update to this. Pretty embarrassing, especially given the theatrics of my first post but whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My parents always say I'm a drama queen, I'm used to it by now.
So this post is officially marking the announcement of a brand new TAG on kwyxand.com: the simple-updates tag!
I am going to make a post each day, without fail. Some days it may be thoughts or opinions I had and wanted to discuss, and others may be about progress I'm making along certain projects. On days which I intend to make a big announcement or share something more major, I'll refrain from using the tag, so it's easier to distinguish between the regular daily posts and the big ones that happen to take the place of a daily post. But a post will be coming each day for sure.
I am not sure how long I will continue with this, but I think I will go for at least one year before reassessing the usefulness and or meaningfulness of my content. At least this way, I have a structured goal to meet every day that will propel me toward working harder.
So that's my simple-update for today! Be sure to tune in tomorrow :)
