I don't need the Python part, but others have found it useful.

If you have suggestions, let me know; otherwise, next year's "money grab" will be very similar to the 2025 version.

One reviewer noted that this was a money grab. I didn't make much money from this and regardless I need to have a yearly calendar and to take notes. I paid full price and would have to pay more for a calendar and notebook (without the Python portion).

My work requires that I have a monthly calendar, and I like to have a paper one that I can quickly flip through.

For really deep work, jotting on paper helps me. I also use the note area when teaching to track what went well and what I need to improve.

Good to get off the machine-driven dopamine hit treadmill every once in a while and interface with a real human.

Take the step to do something human!

Teaching emacs doesn't pay well...

LOL.

Apparently, 5.1 is getting hammered right now. Timed out in VSCode.

I hated this when using the secret openrouter preview. It messed up my codebase. (Luckily, I had tests to help me unroll the breakage)

Also working on a new top-secret project and teaching CLEAR principles from my Effective Visualization book.

Fun times.

(I'm using other LLMs than Claude generally, but) spending this morning refactoring LLM-written django tests... Lots of self.assert...

Been using glm 4.6 for the past week. Before that it was qwen. Now excited to try minimax

Just tested my hypothesis for the design and I think it will work...

Now need to figure out how to 3d print this...

In addition to the book(s) I'm writing. The website I'm developing. And the training that I'm doing. And the biking, soon to be skiing...
