Note #16: Mundane consumption

James Darling

It’s been 3 months since my last note, in which time I’ve become Head of Technology for the 6 digital adult national screening programmes, raised 2 kittens into young adults, built and run a new art piece, and got engaged. But that’s all very productive and too much to write about. Let’s do some...

Note #15: Weak Core

James Darling

Throughout my 30s I have increasingly got a sore back. A couple of weeks ago it hit my sciatic nerve and I spent the next 3 days trying to find comfortable ways to lie in bed. A visit to the physio has given me the damning diagnosis of having a weak core. I now have to lie on my front and wave my...

Note #14: A New Year

James Darling

It’s a New Year and I have plans of writing yearnotes, and liked the idea of making plans for the quarter, but then I remember I still can’t write weekly notes and its already the 12th of January, so I should accept who I am, get out of my own way and write a note already.

Note #12: Shed

James Darling

3 weeks ago I was busy building a workshop with my dad. It inevitably took more time and brainspace than anticipated. It is still not finished. But I had to stop as I had run out of dad time, I needed to get back to my life, and I needed a break. Of course I made a timelapse. Here it is: In...

Note #11: Trains

James Darling

After last week’s introverted cerebrality, this week was social and busy. I’ve dashed from having lunches and drinks to catch up with people, to collecting second hand windows from gumtree and leftover building materials from friends for the workshop I’m building in my garden next week, to a...

Note #10: Brain

James Darling

I’ve been in my brain a lot recently. This is by design: I’ve got things I want to learn and think about, and it’s been rewarding and fun. But the impact on my mental and physical health has been stark. I go to bed with a full head, and wake up with an immediate desire to scroll on my phone until...

Python

Using Pipenv with Visual Studio Code (VS Code) Run pipenv --venv in the root directory of your pipenv project. It will return something like /Users/[username]/.local/share/virtualenvs/[project]-[random_string] on Mac. Put this path into the .vscode/settings.json file of your project: {...
