• Tuesday

    • Placed all positions from the td deposits last week, not that they’ve cleared.
      • Remember that (even after a cleared deposit) you go on margin until the trades settle (<=2d), but you don’t accrue interest on that margin.
      • And remember that at the end of every day, they’ll sweep cash automatically into an FDIC insured deposit account which accrues interest for you.
      • Although this account is not covered by SIPC (Securities Investor Protection Corporation), which helps recovery/return of assets when a broker fails.
      • Enabled futures and forex.
    • Bought an airthings device, help support the chess sponsor.
      • And since I work from home every day, would give good insights for window/sleep/etc.
      • Between the wave plus and view plus.
      • The view adds a display, an internal hub (wifi instead of just bluetooth, and connect multiple devices), and particulate matter sensing.
      • You can buy the hub separately, but I have a small home and only need to check it when I’m there, so I don’t need a hub.
      • And I don’t need a display, I’ll just use the app.
      • And PM is less important than the other metrics.
      • Wave plus is $130 after $100 airthingsmasters discount, view plus is $300.
      • So overall, went with wave plus.
    • Lots of private work.
    • SBSC.
    • Lots of cleanup of SBSC from the past 2 days. Finished a ton.
    • Created milestone to finish before the offseason pause: https://gitlab.com/bmahlstedt/supercontest/-/milestones/7. Organized all tickets.
    • Created board to track as well: https://gitlab.com/bmahlstedt/supercontest/-/boards/5334642?milestone_title=2023%20Q1%20Part%202
    • Boards in gitlab are nice because you can order (the hidden “rank” propery in jira). But they don’t have good “status” columns. It’s just open and closed. The “labels” are meant for static ticket properties (like “this is a bug” – basically a jira ticket type).
    • Created milestone for 2023-2024 season: https://gitlab.com/bmahlstedt/supercontest/-/milestones/8
    • Created a bunch of tickets with AWS plans for these cloud splitouts.
