I want to finally start learning object oriented programming.
I've written a lot of stuff for automating tasks at work (Windows PowerShell) and tinkered with hobby projects (rust, python) in my free time, but I've never been able to wrap my head around why someone wouldn't want to do everything functionally until quite recently.
I taught myself to program so I didn't even know about the term "functional programming" until quite recently :P
Take a look at ArjanCodes YouTube channel. It's python focused and it isn't all OOP, but there a good deal of it. They're each just the right length with the right amount of detail. No fluff. No need to skip boring sections or play at 1.25x
Today I was going to be writing, but I spent much of it lazing around on the Internet instead... I did get _some_ writing done, but not as much as I would've hoped. I am on the last few chapters of my next story draft and just need to get over that final stretch.
Tomorrow, I'm once again working up the motivation to attend a short story book club. I hope to get up early enough to write from a coffee shop before the book club session starts.
I bought a copy of "Mastering Emacs" and I'm going through it.
I've been using emacs for ~10 years now, on and off, never actually getting "serious". But at my new job we're provided with a remote machine and we're supposed to do most of our work in there[1], so I'm using GNU Emacs in screen.
So I'm taking this as an occasion to level up my gnu screen and gnu emacs skills.
So far the book has been enlightening. Probably better suited for somebody that has been strugg^H^H^H^H^H^H using emacs for a while than a complete novice, but still a very great book.
Right now I’m monitoring a hyperparameter search run, I’m installing a new dev environment on my new server, and I’m implementing Monte Carlo tree search for substructure scoring
Sugar water. The ph isn't perfect but it beats having them starve over the winter from not having enough honey. Some of the big producers will feed sugar water or high fructose corn syrup and sell the result as honey, from what I hear.
As far as the mechanics, this time of year 2:1 or so sugar to water. Sometimes you can open feed in barrels or buckets with a float of some sort for the bees to land on. You can also put various containers in the hive. Sometimes I open feed, but this time will put a sealed, inverted jar or bucket in the hive on top of the frames of honeycomb. A few tiny holes to allow droplets retained by surface tension to form and the bees will happily store it away for the winter.
I'm probably going to go for a walk in the woods. I started walking in a different location around the time the bridge I reported some Nazis from under collapsed.
(This was in Appalachia, not the Ukraine, but I can see how you'd get confused from my post history. Thanks for the Google-y eyes, and at least use Bing if you're gonna abuse the wifi that badly.)

Also, i'm recalibrating the batteries in my ThinkPads, using tlp (https://linrunner.de/tlp/usage/tlp.html#perform-a-battery-re...)
[1] I could do some work on my work laptop but it's too much work.

Finishing off an evaluation of a candidate for Google Summer of Code
Some open source work (maintenance/discussions) - I'm in a bit of a rut this month, but want my annual Hacktoberfest shirt.
Some contract work
Decluttering (books)
Been trying to get through reading Ulysses, realistically will go out for a coffee and get <10 pages done at best
Might start the complaint process with customer services over a small item
Might win an auction on eBay and have to deal with updating payment details
