- Tried to film outdoors and was thwarted by a cloud (literally) of tiny mosquitos that gave me over 100 bites within 30 minutes. So I was forced to improvise on filming indoors. Didn’t turn out too bad actually. As always, one can prepare, but it’s hard to foresee everything. Flexibility is the key. Also, bug spray.
- My website had a small glitch I’ve been trying to figure out for almost 2 weeks now. Finally figured it out by adding a small piece of html in the header tag. For someone who completed a crash course on web development (HTML/CSS, JS, small amounts of PHP and MySQL) in February, not too bad! I have also made 3 websites since then (all customized from templates). This has been greatly satisfying because 1) I felt deeply how my lack of technical knowledge was a hindrance with our startup last year and 2) I’ve always had a coding geek in me (learnt HTML from a book in primary school grade 5, learnt STATA mostly on my own 3 years ago while trying to manage field work at the same time).
- In addition to my goals yesterday, I have set my eyes on a goal with a deadline for this October. If the next few months goes well and I have piloted the expanded vision, then I will apply to the Echoing Green Fellowship. Of course, it is highly competitive, but like a marathon, something to work towards!
