Past Month in Review

-
Dog soup. One of the seventeen different types of animals I ate.
I've been in Korea since May 7th. So far, I've only returned brief acknowledgements to the many birthday wishes and inquiries into how I'm doing. One reason was because I was planning on updating everyone at the same time via this blog. So why did it take a whole month to get this blog going?

The past month has been extremely busy. There were many things I needed to do to prepare for the next year in Korea and even more people I wanted to catch up with. My calendar attests to just how packed the past month was. Every square has some type of scribble in it documenting the different activities of that day. Some days, I was dissappointed that I didn't do more, but in reality, I think I over-extended myself. The details of the past month could be a small book in itself. So I just leave you with a few statistics from the past month:

  • 30: Days I have been in Korea
  • 79: Friends and family I planned to meet
  • 41: Number I managed to meet
  • 22: Of those I have not met yet, people I will meet in the next few weeks
  • 10: New friends I met along the way
  • 11: Different places I have spent the night
  • 17: Different types of animals I have eaten

Korean class starts this Thursday, meeting four hours a day Monday through Friday. It will be a nice relief. I promise more regular updates from now on. Thanks for waiting!

The Comeback Post

The last time I tried growing my hair out was over ten years ago! My mom and me at the beach. When a Korean (pop) artist returns after being inactive for a prolonged period, Koreans call it a "comeback" album/concert. Often they remake their artistic style at the same time. I was sure "comeback" was a bit of Konglish because I never really heard it used outside of Korea, where I hear it all the time. However, a Google search indicates that the term "comeback" is indeed used outside of Korea/Asia. Anyhow, this is my blog's comeback post. I have made some major changes:

WMO Codes

Periodic Table of WMO Weather Condition Codes Unlike some other " periodic tables ," this one uncovers several patterns in the WMO weather condition codes. How can you express the 28 (Open Meteo) WMO weather condition codes as distinct icons and colors? The Open Meteo documentation gives a short description of each code, but the best way to graphically visualize this information in a weather app is not obvious. Open Weather, another weather API, simply hands you everything on a single page . The previous version of my weather app used Open Weather. (My app’s icons were actually from DarkSky, one of the best weather API’s until they were acquired by Apple.) However I was not satisfied with just mapping the 9 icons onto Open Meteo’s 28 different conditions . Open Meteo provides more information, and I wanted to expose it all! Organizing the Codes There are actually 100 unique WMO codes , but Open Meteo only reports a subset of these. Open Meteo groups the codes

Automatic Inbox Cleanup with Two Simple Filters/Rules

Automatic Inbox Cleanup with Two Simple Filters/Rules Only 47 important emails reached my inbox out of 1,236 total emails received in October 2023. Last month I received 1,236 emails, but only 47 emails reached my inbox. These were the truly important emails I wanted to see, mostly sent from real people. These are the only emails that triggered a notification on my phone as soon as they hit my inbox. The other 96% of the emails were silently and automatically filed into other categories/labels without a single notification. About once a day, I take a few seconds to check them in bulk. I just scan the subjects and senders to mark a few bulk/automated emails that interest me. Then two keystrokes marks all of them as read. Ten, twenty, a hundred at a time! How can you have your email sorted like this? You just have to add a few custom email filters/rules. Instructions and downloadable Gmail filter files are at the end of this article!
