2024 Week Notes - Week 16
Declan ByrdOn Tuesday I had a basketball game for Worthing D&D White, losing 69-56 against Worthing D&D Black. I didn't have a great game, but managed to make a three-point shot despite not seeing much of the ball.
I had another basketball game on Thursday this week, losing 97-66 against Brighton Cougars. This game was much more frustrating to play in. I made the mistake of making lots of shots in the warmup (with lots of people watching) which resulted in the opposition team guarding me much higher up the court. I've got one speed and its slow, so I found it really difficult to receive the ball. When I did get the ball, I shot really badly - not making any of my 9 shot attempts.
As I'm travelling for work on the day I would normally write and publish these notes, I spent some time this week looking at how I could publish these notes without my laptop. I settled on using the GitHub mobile app to edit the notes in a branch, and then merge a pull request when I was ready to publish. The only issue I found was that you can't create pull requests from the mobile app, so I had to create one before I left.
What has changed on this site:
- Halved the cache duration from 24 hours to 12 hours for the response from the fetch call that I make to get the video game that I'm currently playing.
What I've been reading
- I started and read nearly 300 pages of Eye of the Sh*t Storm by Jackson Ford this week.
