Week Notes 20#21

A busy week ending with a bank holiday:

• Our Fire Stick TV remote died, which was pretty annoying, but the Android app appears to be fairly good
• Played a lot of Apex Legends, which I've again been doing pretty well with
  • Enjoyed the first quest, which was a nice story-based challenge
• Busy week at work, unfortunately not ending as well as I'd hoped, with our production release on Tuesday not being ready
  • But also a bit quiet, with a few lulls
  • Got some good cross-team collaboration, and some great learnings from different approaches to the same problems
  • Felt like I'd worked two days in one, on Friday
• Was pretty happy with my article Converting Output from Rest Assured to Curl Requests
• Fought, but finally got around to the Netlify post-deploy notifications migration sorted, but will blog about it tomorrow
• Updated my Performing Mutual TLS Authentication with Rest Assured (via Apache HTTP Client) article updated with real working code, as it wasn't actually working, as I discovered a couple of weeks ago
• Bank holiday's been pretty relaxed, and haven't really got much done on my projects
• Had our first KFC since lockdown started! It was so good
• Watched The Wrong Missy
  • Was a little bit sad because they were in a beautiful hotel in Hawaii, and it's unlikely we'll be able to go on holiday until maybe this time next year
• Watched Long Shot
• Watched Just Friends
• Watched Stranger Than Fiction
• New Tech Nottingham / Women in Tech seasons were announced - very excited
• Not much reading this week
• Did some yoga with Anna this afternoon, which was different, but nice, and I think I'm gonna try to do more of!
• Spent less time outside of the house this week than planned
• Managed to get shopping order for tomorrow, which was pretty good last-minut
• Like normal life, although I realised I needed a haircut over a month ago, I still haven't done it 😅
• Realised that since October (the last time I weighed myself + recorded it) I've lost 5kg. Not bad! No clue if it's related to the lockdown, and no longer having big lunches at work
