Good morning, windy world out there. We’re up much earlier than expected because Podrick decided there was so much turbulence outside, and decidedly not enough inside. He started with a visit to me under the covers, where we cuddled. When he had his fill of finger-sucking, he flipped his shit and attacked my hand. Then, upon discovering he could see the strings attached to the window blinds, he went berserk and started running all over the bed and up to the window. It never stopped, so we got up.
I spent last night doing data entry. I haven’t been focusing on the Audrey system over the last couple of days, so there were a lot of entries to be updated. Half of them hadn’t been updated in over 48 hours because my stats are being weird and discouraging. On the other hand, I can’t remember if the weekly dump runs on Monday or Tuesday, and I should update everything before then.
The data entry is proving that tracking all this shit is working. A few weeks back, I added some code that takes the worst-performing hashtag on an entry and calculates what the average watch time might have been if I hadn’t used it, but only if it’s more than 1s difference. In checking most of the last month of entries, there were no warnings. I’m not killing posts with bad tags. The system is working.
I set up a stream and punched numbers while I chatted with people. They asked why I wasn’t gaming. “I want to play Skyrim, but I need to do work first”, I told them. “Y’all can watch me work and keep me on task.” About an hour into it, Pod came up for cuddle time, and the data entry was put on hold. Everyone watched him suck my fingers for an hour.
I never got to play Skyrim.
Shawshank has the whole weekend off, and it’s supposed to be sunny and warm both days. Unfortunately, this morning is super windy, so I probably won’t get much spin time. We’re having poutine for dinner, and a day of sloth.
