Yesterday I had to run the aggregations manually because I had left a "temporary" config file change in the working environment the night before. Ugh. Will be nice when we finish debugging the new codebase and can get a dedicated environment for automation set up.

After breakfast I finished fixing the API acquisition bug by merging in the now reviewed and approved PR, dropping the remaining truncated sensor names from the database, and activating an off-cycle acquisition run. Success! 7-day trends are back to being available in the map.

P helped me overhaul a bunch of the text for the hackathon to be less idiomatic, more focused, and more accessible. I am very pleased with the results, and simultaneously feel myself clinging to my more familiar but less situationally appropriate style. Have bounced to A for feedback.

Lunch, then went out to the garden and planted the seedlings we'd bought last week. Rhubarb went in the nettles & flowers bed, tomatoes and peppers in the self-watering planters. Knocked down a bunch of weeds in the walking areas and dropped the stems to mulch. Aggressively cut back the arugula, since it was slowly engulfing the bush beans. Cucurbits are up, peas are up, beans are up, a small number of scattered patches of carrots are up, and there's a few cilantro volunteers up as well.

Inside, showered, then interviewed another intern candidate; she'll be good for pipeline engineering and can supervise a bit as well. Bickered with T about visualization priorities, then made dinner. Crossword, DS9, snack, sleep. Dreamt of a puzzle hunt based on first editions of some obscure book, all tied up with standardized test scores and a weird activity bus system.

I started reading The Ingenious by Darius Hinks, but it's real gross, and more work than I was hoping for. I picked up City of Brass to re-read instead and that's suiting my mood better.
