Status: Success!!! Woke up next to Hannah and she was smiling, that’s a very nice way to start the day. Really looking forward into our house. I’m still shattered from London but I’m coming round.

Status: Success-ish Still so tired from London. Had a relaxing morning and afternoon though. Hannah came over in the evening and we went for food and drinks which was great. Always feel positive when she’s around.

Status: fail I’m so tired. London really kills me. It doesn’t help that my train was cancelled for the second time in a row. I don’t really have much to say today, the only real positive was that I got to work on some static site search research and look into twig a bit more.

Status: Fail Overall I think today was worse but I can’t put my finger on why, maybe I just wasn’t trying hard enough. I think that various stresses throughout the day didn’t help.

Status: Fail Today was the first day of Operation Positive. The challenge is to not to be negative in the aim of changing how I think. It was a failure but that was to be expected and not a huge problem. Below are things from the day that are note worthy:

Three tracks that are totally awesome, they embody a full day from sunrise to sunset.

There’s a side of mental health that I haven’t openly talked about. That side is money. Not an easy thing to talk about. When I went off work I was on full paid leave for the maximum amount of days, I then went on to statutory. Statutory didn’t even cover my rent so I blew through all my savings while I was off work.

This is an unpublished post that I’ve only just got round to posting. I’m writing this 3 days before everyone finds out that I’ll be part of the Thursday keynote. Let me back track a bit.

This week has been tough. Fucking tough. I’d like to think I was transparent about things. I aim to be. But it’s tough. I skirt the line of being offensive/hyper critical/moaning old bastard. I have to be careful of what I say out of some kind of fucking moral code (sorry for the swearing mum).

This morning I decided to document all the issues I had with Spotify over the passed 4 hours. Here is a list: Persistent notifications - It’s gone from 3 to 1 without me doing anything! Flashing UI - Randomly flashes distracting me from work. Doesn’t remember position when viewing all albums. Playing a track in all albums view doesn’t appear on the specific album view - it appears like albums on artists pages aren’t linked. Shows wrong track playing in the bottom left corner. Giving the window focus took me to the top of the artists page for no reason. Worst thing is I pay for this as well. When did we come to accept bad software?
