Ok week. Started out a bit panicked because things take so much longer than expected… I made some good progress, but soon enough it was Thursday evening… I just don’t know where the time is going. I need to find a way to make more out of time.
Words of the week:
- Encoding: I struggled a lot with files with different encoding this week. The worse part was the same file group (i.e. files that belong to the same group) I had upwards to 4 different encodings for simple text files… insane!
- Progress: It’s hard to get people to move at your pace. I feel that, in some ways, my progress is limited by others. I have to work around that.
- Alternatives: I have to think of alternatives. Right now I’m not making ends meet with services alone. So I may need to think about picking up something part-time/full-time that has a limited amount of investment on my part so that I can continue to do my work.
Number of the Week:
- 10MM: That’s the number of POIs that I was able to upload in my database. The infrastructure is getting set up!
