May 26, 21: Routine, VFTlab, Hardcore Web Work, Laps, and Games
FitBit farted out today and won’t let me export my cover image, so the best I could do was take a screenshot. 😢 I had a nifty, spirally one picked out too:
Kind of conflicted about how to call this one:
I slept 9-5, which is a nice eight hours, but it says I was awake for 40 minutes? 🤷 Seeing as how I was able to focus and do some work today, I’m going to override and call it “good.” 😁
Did the usual morning stuff; not much to note there. Cryptos still in recovery phase, but there’s still Bears in the woods...
Obsessed over my BSC shittokens for a bit as a new thing I do in the mornings, not too much going on there either, I continue to be down more than I’d care to be. 😡 Patience is a virtue, though, and time will tell. [How many cliches can I cram into a sentence? Two, it seems, two.]
Spent quite a bit of time on Discord and learned about a relatively new project on the Hive chain: VFTlab
This is almost exactly what I’ve been waiting for! Yield farming on Hive with no fees! Woot! They don’t have token swapping yet, and I asked whether they have plans to but they didn’t answer me (sad panda), but I got some VFT, staked it, got rewarded, and compounded it all for free (well, I bought the tokens, but zero trx fees)!
I’m kind of FOMOing on this one, the token price is pretty low at the moment...I’m not sure how great an investment it will pan out to be (versus opportunity costs), but I wanted to throw money at it simply because it’s built on Hive (forget those other traitors who will remain unnamed).
Another cold and rainy day today, so a good excuse to stay inside and fire up the computer. I got some serious work done! One page template is functional now and just needs login to deal with and a shitton of css, but it works and does fundamentally what I want it to.
Started working on the next page template. Wrote a new function for it to return me an object containing all the info I need, which felt kinda cool (I grew up with functional programming, not OOP), and started working on writing the functions to update the database (not just read from it).
Still have, like, light years to go, but bit by bit I’m making progress (and doing it all on my own - hooray! No devs to pay! 😂). Still trying to figure out the next big barrier: chain interaction, but really not sure about it yet. Looking at using built-in stuff versus trying to SSH and use Node...really don’t know what’s the best way to go.
Wenche made some steaks and smashed potatoes for dinner and we watched some of the new season of Master of None. I had quite a few steps left to go (as you can imagine staring at screens all day), so I did some “laps” marching in place in front of the tube to finish out.
Laid down after I got my steps and it wasn’t long before I was off to the Land of Nod.
Side note: just thinking that I’ve been posting every day for years and I don’t think a single person has ever clicked one of my referral links...so much for that passive income. 🤣
Well, I guess I can say that dCity is getting slightly better. Not enough that it’s even close to ok, but it’s moving in the right direction. Other than that, going to keep my mouth shut and be grateful.
While I did get my Holybread tasks done today, it’s becoming more of a source of aggravation than anything else to me at this point. Quest are only worth gold and gold is for nothing, so there’s not really any reason to do them other than to get the whopping 1 bread from doing five.
I did mention to them in their support channel on Discord that the bot hasn’t been voting for the last five days; not mean or angry or anything, just stated the fact. I’ve seen no evidence of any action or response. 🤬 Makes my rank, and in fact playing at all, completely pointless.
I think I got an ingredient today on CryptoBrewmaster...now that I think about it, I might not even have checked it. Doesn’t matter much anyway.
I did play a little Splinterlands in the afternoon. Getting closer to the end of the season and closer to Diamond, so I’ve got a decision to make here soon...thinking I might try and complete one more daily quest in Gold, advance and then leave it; we’ll see how that plan works out.
Not too bad of a run today! I quit after I got my quest done and before I got pissed off. 😄
My quest for today was Life splinter, and despite my expectation, I got it done pretty quickly. Quite good rewards for today too!
