The Week #49

by
  • This week's been a good week. A tiring week, but a good week, so I'll dive right in.
  • I realized that Tanzawa was never going to be "good enough" or "finished enough" for me to release it. It's the first project I've made public in a very long time. The last big project I worked on was Kwoosh, a project management app I was building with my mate Jacob around 4 or 5 years ago. Making it public is a huge relief, not just because "it's out there", but it will force me to document and follow proper development workflows (no more committing directly on main 🙃)
  • The article I wrote for Web+DB Press has been officially announced in the upcoming issue. It's an 8-page introduction on using graphene-django to build GraphQL APIs with Django. It's my second time having my writing published in Japanese, but the first time being credited by name. It was also much easier to write in Japanese this time about, as I've had the past 4 years read/writing Japanese everyday at work.
  • My father-in-law's appointment for his first shot got moved up to the 22nd of this month and my mother-in-law got an appointment for the first week of next month. Super happy they'll be vaccinated soon. 
  • Yokohama, feeling pressure from Kawasaki is going to start sending vaccination vouchers out to people under 65 starting mid-June (so...this week?)!  I think it might be a bit tight to get fully vaccinated before the Olympics, but maybe I'll be able to get my first shot and a bit of time for my immune system to do its thing before then. I remain optimistic.
  • Thanks for FindADocJp.org, I was able to find a clinic nearby in Totsuka that's doing reservations for people, regardless of age/vaccination voucher to get left-over shots in the case of cancellations. We had started building a sheet on the HN Tokyo Slack for this kind of information, but open forms on 'net let more people participate. Hats off to @TheYokohamaLife for building it.
  • Leo's going through a papa-phase been sticking to me like glue from the moment he wakes until he goes to sleep. I'm happy to spend time with him, as I know this won't last forever, but boy is it tiring.
