I'm not sure if a pass should qualify here, but it's been two days with little progress due to technical issues that I've been working to resolve. So only counting 1 day..

Day 46

•

Self-Comment

• Lots of technical issues the past two days. This is by far one of my weakest points even though I've been around technology for so many years. While I didn't save the error, I was having issues attempting to run basic tests due to my sha-1 release? I realized my current build-variant is "release" and not "debug". Not sure if this is the issue, but tried going through a few articles and haven't been able to fix the issue. This was mostly done yesterday day, so can't recall specifics. I attempted to use both release and debug build variants to run tests, but couldn't get neither to work. I probably spent a good 4-5 hours on this without fixing it. • Moved on to changing how I store a note's created date, but was having a few issues implementing it. While I think I've fixed it so I can store the current date as a long and format as a String when I want to use(instead of saving as String), I had an update for the Android Emulator. • Spent a good part of the day today trying to fix it. I can no longer use Android Emulator, it terminates immediately after I try to open it. At one point I even had issues finding adb on my physical device. Attempted to uninstall the virtual device, invalidate cache/restart, clean/build project, rollback to previous version, uninstall Android Studio, download a previous version of Android studio even. But I'm still having issues. The only thing that I can think of is to try reinstalling the Android SDK. Troubleshooting technical issues is exhausting. • Positive Note: Podcast episode released! I've been refusing to listen to it since I felt I could have performed much better. Hopefully someone finds it entertaining/useful. 😄

Goals Tomorrow

• Go for a long walk in the morning • Attempt to fix my Emulator issues by 1pm, otherwise ignore it and rely on physical device until I decide to tackle it again. • Attempt to fix my testing issue (I'd like to focus on this before continuing my project so I can start implementing tests as I introduce new features and refactor existing code) • IF fixed or decide to hold off on testing, I'll continue working with fixing how I store Date in Room Database before continuing User Data implementation

ㅠㅠ eww those red disgusting errors.
