Here is how I did in the new condensed table format.
| Target | Summary |
| 11k steps a day | I hurt my ankle. I do not know how and cannot recall a slip or anything I was just suddenly in lots of pain walking one day. So.. At day 452 since I started going for 10k steps a day my run ended. I needed to rest it up. |
| 150 active minutes per week | Week 1 – Yes Week 2 – No – ankle injury and sore throat so I took a week off. Week 3 – Ditto on the ankle. Week 4 – Ditto on the ankle. |
| 1 technical blog a month | I managed 2 short but useful posts that I will need to refer to in future. How to use letsencrypt with python HTTP services. Solving a pentester’s pesky proxy problem. |
| Support my partner to exercise | Week 1 – Yes Week 2 – No – they actually smashed their goal and didn’t need me on the Saturday. Week 3 – Yes Week 4 – Yes |
| Record five songs | Since I was inactive I had more time and I actually have made a song. Well almost. It is not finished. I had a DAW to try and learn and fancied trying some layers because that is all new to me: Whatever – version 3 The vocals will be re-recorded sometime when the kids aren’t asleep in the next room, the lyrics are already different on paper, and there is a 3rd verse from a different protagonist to be expected. But still.. Been happily listening to it today on a loop. |
| OSWE | I have not prioritised it this month. |
| Panic Attacks | A clear month really. A few dicey moments but not full blown panic. |
Other bits
- Audiobooks 1 – carrying on with Stealing Light: Shoal, Book 1 by Gary Gibson. A good bit of Sci-Fi.
- Television 1 – Star Trek Discovery (catch up Season 1 and 2). My house loves Star Trek. So we watched this when it came out. We sat down to consider watching season 3 and realised; we cannot remember a damn thing that happened. Like literally nothing. So we decided to re-watch Season 1 and 2 first. It is definitely different to previous ST series. It is not necessarily good or bad that it is different. I feel a bit like I really don’t care about any of the characters at all and that the plot is too heavily reliant on the lead character instead of there being an ensemble to draw on. Rewatching it again was like watching it for the first time for us. It was definitely a chore at times. Then we finally got to Season 3. It was like a breathe of fresh air. Suddenly it was way more exciting and we were happy to watch the next one as soon as possible!
- Television 2 – Away (netflix) – I like a bit of sci-fi but I also have a soft spot for content imagining our near future with basically the technology we have but an increased will to use it. This series was pretty decent in that category. Some good acting performances. A nice distraction. I wanted the next episode when the season ended. But so far this is likely to be something I entirely forget in a few weeks.
That is the log for March. It is sunny outside and I have some days off. Excellent.
