Gotta remain positive and see the glass half full, or January 2nd depending on the cell format.

If your mind goes to “spreadsheet” instead of “calendar,” that says more about your… proclivities… than it does his!

It’s really more of a DataFrame I’ve mismanaged. Which might be why I’m struggling to handle my relationships.

Maybe it’s time to upgrade to a relational database.

I don’t think I’m ready for that. In fact, I think I’m just going back to individual delimited text files to store every record separately using a custom encoding I made up.

I’ll add arbitrary folders to split them up based on inconsistent logic and never make backups.

Yes, and if we’re playing my connect 4 rules, you can also aim for a Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday diagonal.

You can also go 3D. January 8, February 5, March 4, April 8 would be 4 in a stack.

If you include multiple years, you can add one more dimension.

That’s only moving in the third dimension without moving in any other.

If you have movement in all 3 dimensions, you get January 1, February 6, March 13, April 25.

Thats diagonally and stacked.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
