Daddy's Back at It and Getting a Lot Done

OpenSourceKyle

Okay, so I’m gonna quickly brief just what I’ve been doing…

Basically, over the last two weeks, I got the work for my website, and visually, it looked good, which is what we’d been checking week to week. But when I actually got the code, I was very disappointed. I told the guy that it was borderline unusable—lots of copy-pasting, no templating, nothing like that. So I said, “fuck it.”

By the recommendation of my friend, I started using Cursor AI and completely rebuilt my website from scratch. Still using Hugo as my templating engine, which allows me to write my pages in Markdown. I have the general theme of the website done. There are a few visual bugs—very, very minor visual bugs. Maybe not really bugs, just design things that need tweaking, but that’s done.

I’ve edited about 9 articles, and all of these are published and live on my website on the Internet. I started a podcast with my lady friend, and we have 5 episodes on Spotify. I have a few testimonials on my website as well, but I don’t like the video ones, so I’m going to clip them because they’re a little long.

Yeah, I’m just gonna keep grinding on that. I just finished rewriting my marketing sales page. I have a friend with some experience who’s going to help me look it over and tweak it as needed. I made a Google Form for client applications, got everything set up. I’m basically getting everything to a decent level, having a little bit of an online presence, and then doing another round of warm/cold call networking for client acquisition.

Aside from that, I’ve been sick for a little bit, which is kinda crappy, but honestly, it’s given me a chance to get a lot of work done. I’m back in the gym when I’m not sick. Everyone tells me I’m getting bigger again, which is good—I’m tired of being smaller like when I was doing all that running.

My lady friend and I went out for Valentine’s Day—had a wonderful time.

I’ve filed my taxes, got my finances in order internationally. And let’s see… in less than a month, I’m going back to Spanish school. In the meantime, I’m just grinding on all my business stuff, trying to get as much done as possible before school starts. Once it does, I can just focus mainly on school and whatever clients I have, putting that in maintenance mode until I’m done.

My future roommate is still tentatively slated to come down. I keep getting him hyped—he’s super excited. I helped him get his temporary residency for Mexico. He has to come down here to finish the rest of it, but I’ll have that sorted.

Been doing good. Went back to therapy to work out some childhood/parent issues. The first round felt really good. My sleep is a little all over the place but trending better according to my Oura. I’ve got a decent amount of brain fog, and I’m definitely not as sharp as I’d like to be or as sharp as I’ve been. But I’m still getting a lot done – actually incredibly productive, more so than normal. My Spanish is still improving, I’m making progress on work, and even if I don’t feel as productive as I could be, I’m still getting plenty done.

So that’s the wrap for me.
