I can happily announce that downloading report files, that are sent from the system daily, are now being automatically downloaded to the folder of my choice.
What possible benefit would that have?
Well, that is my first baby step toward the world of automation. Long time ago, the team and I tried using Zapier to automate some things, but our work didn't really have that much of repetitiveness, and wasn't structured within a locked system. So it was oly the knowledge that something as beautiful as that existed. Fast forward to present day, we have daily system reports delivered to our inbox. Most are useless, but 3-4 of those are important. Some of which we need as is, some of which we need as a source for our dashboard.
I am committing to writing 50 blog posts within this year, 2025.
It's almost mid-year. Or it's almost the end of the Hijri year. Whatever half of the cup you want ot look at is fine. The point is, we are here.
This is the 4th time I try blogging. Every time I start, I want to write long form posts. Every time it does not work out. Topics are carefully chosen, so stamina didn't last that long. I never committed to any number, either. This time, I am. Announcing in a public forum, like the internet, is one of those great accountability techniques I heard about. Happy to try them out.
The goal is 50 blog posts. That is the critical mass I would use to judge whether I should continue with blogging or not.
Recently, I worked on an observation/research project. I just moved from the project I was heading to another one in retail. We had several showrooms and I needed to understand what was going on in these showrooms in the fastest and deepest way possible.
This will be my 4th? 5th (maybe) attempt at blogging. This will be a place to gather my thoughts regarding random topics and experiences. Enjoy the journey.
