Watch arrived today. It’s good, not as big as I thought and the screen is lovely. Says 15 days battery and it’s 80%! So many menus and options and features though. Going to take a while to figure out. It’s not Apple intuitive but it’s not bad and mostly consistent.

Setup a club callsign for our local SOTA summit group. Also been making an awards scheme for activating in the Cairngorms. Trying to make stuff with Quarto and ObservableJS. The JS part is a nightmare and can’t get it to do what I want. ChatGPT generates code but it always throws errors. I think it’s because it’s ojs in Quarto and things maybe need to be in object literals or something. It doesn’t help I know nothing about JavaScript. I just know that the python script to download the data and process it worked first time.

Going to redo it all but with python. I’m worried it will only get me so far though and the interactivity won’t work unless I do it in JavaScript…which means back to JS.

Just added a book to my book list, and realised I’m now into my 10th year of tracking books I’ve read on the list. Seems quite a duration. I did fall off the wagon in 2019 but soon got back on.
