Just cleaning up some things and choosing new, more mobile friendly layout for the Notes area where I am slowly adding book quotes highlighted in the last 8 years or so. I really loved the previous theme except that the image was way too big and it took up the entire phone screen. You had to scroll down to see any text.
Listening to: Supernatural Season 1 Episode 22
What I’ve been doing around the site:
- I haven’t done much at all since my last update. It’s been a weird couple of weeks!
- My goals for fall: Add another book to the Notes area, finish my draft on using ChatGPT and a static site generator to create a Neocities website, complete my writer mission statement draft, and upload more photos. I seem to have fallen out of the habit at the end of 2022.
What’s going on creatively:
- I am finalizing my Halloween cards (and envelopes) to send out next month. This year I did low effort decor with markers and stickers, but I also made my own stickers for a personal touch.
- I have been journaling in a small pocket-sized notebook a few times a week. It’s basically turning into a junk journal, but I like the small bursts of inspiration and creativity coming out of it.
- It’s spooky season! I consider home decorating a creative endeavor. I’ve been putting stuff up everywhere.
What’s going on at work:
- Our LMS manager left the company so I’m taking over a project to improve the LMS Continuous Delivery release process. It involves multiple teams and various levels of contribution, documentation, decision-making, and communication. Even though it’s one of the largest interconnected processes I’ve ever improved, it’s easy peasy. I’ve been adjacently part of the process for several years so I know what’s expected of everyone and have already had some ideas for improvement over that time.
- This week I’ve been taking a class to get certified in knowledge management. We’re halfway done today and it’s given me a lot to think about, not only for my company specifically, but for my career overall. It seems I might be shifting from a focus on “writing documentation” to “managing knowledge” (not in my current job, but in my personal/professional focus). It’s exciting to learn things and grow!
