Summer 2011 – Week #3 Review

Posted on Sunday, June 5th, 2011 at
  • Tweaked/updated my Arimaa Icon set
  • Got a job! Internship! Whatever you want to call it! Now I don’t have to rely on intrinsic motivators to get things done!
  • Checked out Jigsaw Renaissance and Dorkbot-Seattle at the same time by failing to get to the Dorkbot meeting in time to see most of the presentations
  • Attended a meeting of the Seattle BUG (Blender User Group) (instead of attending the Random Hacks of Kindness hackathon)
  • Got matched up through HackMatch right after getting accepted to aforementioned job, which got a bunch of people pinging me about summer jobs, right when I didn’t need it anymore. Too slow, HackNY, too slow.

I haven’t closed any projects this week, but I finally gave in and re-edited my /etc/hosts file to block off Reddit and Hacker News. My productivity should automatically boost by 200%! Additionally, not being bogged down with finals means I can actually attend cool events when I hear about them: I heard about the Dorkbot the day of, and found out about the BUG the day before. It’s pretty cool to be without massive amounts of responsibilities, but like I said above, it’ll be nice to let my intrinsic motivators take a rest.
