Short Weeks and Worksheets

Weeknote #1 (5-11 May 2025)

· Weeknote

Well, you’ve got to start some time. This is my time.

A short week, because Monday was a bank holiday and Friday was my birthday.

Learn

The AI app builder in AirTable (’cobuilder’) is quite good. I only had a brief play with it, but will be digging deeper over the next month or so, as and when time permits.

Mould spray is great for getting tree gunk of walls, with a little bit of effort.

Started reading up about n8n.

Write

Published 2 posts on LinkedIn.

Completed 2 poems for ‘Earworms & Emotions’ (my next book of poetry). A third poem is at it’s final draft stage.

Completed and scheduled 2 posts for The Ode Map. One previously scheduled post went live.

Work

Created an app in AirTable that was a reasonably good approximation to what I asked for. I will have to work harder on the spec and/or tweak the one created. Definitely with pursuing, though.

Did some work on a ‘content reuse’ diagram. There are loads of these on the internet, but I don’t like them because (a) they often mix or conflate ‘content’ with ‘channel’, and they focus on the format, not the subject matter. So I’m trying to make one of my own, which will probably end up being a diagram and an accompanying matrix.

Photos

The newly cleaned yard wall looking amazing.

A couple of birthday books

I love my birthday T-shirt. Designed by Mari (Insta link) and manufactured & distributed by Superstar Arts.
