Prospects of Neet-Life

I am a neet again. Well, actually, since today’s a Saturday I’ll be a neet on Monday since I don’t have a job, internship or not, to go to, and nobody works on weekends anyway. But I already feel like a neet (it never left my body) again. And it’s great. I only drove to Aldi today, the rest was spent on the computer, and in the shower because I have to do that, I couldn’t go completely filthy, I wouldn’t be able to stand myself.

I mentioned WarGames (1983) recently and I am writing on a post about that, but it’s taking me longer than I thought it would because I love it very much so you’ll have to wait on that.

But other movies I’ll watch in future and maybe will write about if I feel like it that are thematically related to WarGames are: (in no particular order)
– Hackers (1995)
– The Net (1995)
– Track Down / Takedown (2000)[Why multiple English titles?]
– Sneakers (1992)

I’ll also probably rewatch Antitrust aka Conspiracy.com aka Startup (2001) although I distintively remember me not liking that one. But I don’t remember why so a rewatch is needed to refresh my memories.

My cold has almost left me, I feel, so I will be able to go to the gym on all planned days next week, and that will be good. I hope I’ll stick to the schedule after not being able to do it twice. Frickin’ sneezing and lying in bed, eff you.

I don’t remember if I mentioned this, but Kevin Mitnick’s book “Ghost in the Wires” is really good and funny. I won’t write about that though. I’ll just recommend it. Go buy the man’s book, he spend five years in jail until he could write it.

tracker port change, fourth internship day, sleep and bad habits

So I changed the port for the opentracker server to :7070 because :6969 seemed a bit to childish in retrospect.
Not that I don’t like it anymore. But I changed it anyways because I also want to be unique. (Now please someone send me an email with examples for existing trackers using port 7070.) The only downside is that right now I can’t connect to the stats page. I’ll have to figure that out sometimes.
Edit: I almost forgot it. The full new tracker url is udp://schmelle.me:7070/announce. Have fun with it.

Today was the fourth day of my new internship, or day nine in the long-running (three weeks) series “End of #Neet-Life”. We had an unemotional five day break there, it’s a very relaxing series so far. And today was no exception: I started at 7:30am and only got up to buy myself lunch, and then left at 16:30pm. I didn’t do very much inbetween because the hotline was very slow today, we didn’t really get any new tickets in. But thanks to my three-year apprenticeship I’m used to doing my own stuff in an office somewhere. Doesn’t really matter where that office is located. The only notable thing would be that I was able to arrange an interview with another company next week while on lunch break. I’ll keep you posted how that goes.

I’ve been doing sleep tracking tracking my sleep since two weeks. I started with just Sleep As Android, then shortly switched to Sleep Better before beginning to use both simultaneously. I like SAA more than SB because it seems to register my sleep better. SB has, on two occasions, told me I didn’t sleep at all when I definitely did. Maybe I didn’t sleep well and my sleep was often interrupted, but I slept and SB is lacking in its consistent capability of detecting that.
But back to the important part, the tracking: Sadly I don’t have complete data for the last 14 days with SAA. I missed the 22nd as well as the 28th. Both times I tried to see if running two sleep trackings apps is a thing my phone can’t handle (I use a Xiaomi Redmi 4a.) The gathered evidence suggest heavily that SB is the problem, not the phone. What follows is a short table of when I have data. (This will be expanded in a longer post some time later.)

I actually started tracking my sleep with Sleep Better on the 24th of February with the free version of Runtastic’s app. After Sleep Better didn’t track my sleep on the 28th I de-installed the free version and installed the paid version from an unlocked .apk I found on the internet for free. However I forgot to screenshot the results of what I had tracked and so I lost that data.

I’ll post screenshots of all my tracking on a different day. I have to go to bed now. And don’t worry, I’ll track it.

I’m not writing about bad habits today but I won’t change the title because that would be more work and I’m very tired.

Have a good night, y’all.
