Cycle 4, stage 3, day 14:
since last entry things went smoothly... I have deployed the new system release successfully. I was a bit concerned that I could have broken something during the refactoring but everything went nicely. While everything was on autopilot, I have started to work on migrating my system on server closer to the new exchange location...
this task did offer few unique challenge... I have improved my instructions on how configure a new machine to host the system. This has forced me to refresh my mind... I am going to move my system from Seattle to LA area... As an intermediary step and because I wanted to try out the migration process, I have a bunch of servers left and right and I had 2 serves in San Jose... Upgrading my first server in San Jose to be able to host the system has been challenging... I did few tweaks to the setup as I went along that I did not consider important enough to document only to eventually forget about them and being bitten by their absence on the target server...
I had 1 last config snag and it required remote hands to fix it. It should be done by now but I'll probably will not restart my system on the new server but I did run my test latency client from the new machine and it is very exciting. round time trip despite been at mid distance between my Seattle location and the ultimate location in the LA area did give me the best RTT that I have never seen before... It could be very fun to run... and it makes me hope that with a machine in LA, I could become again competitive with the big traders having the privilege to bypass cloudflare.
While I was working on the migration, after several profitable trades, my system did encounter 2 new problems... Both were 2 small 1 liner bugs... Those type of bugs are fun to fix... This makes me very optimist for the future because for those small bugs to show up, it was requiring a good amount of actions which what my system did experience. The next version containing those fixes is going to be even more robust.
Totally unrelated but I am using the Brave browser and I have a couple of websites registered with Brave as a publisher... I am really not sure how the publisher side works but all in all, this was giving some small ridiculous of BAT every months. 0.25 BAT or so... but I think that yesterday, I did receive something like 10 BAT!
I am not sure if it is good idea coming from UMS or if it is some sort of procrastination but I got a new strategy idea... I have written down the big lines of it in a design document to not forget about it. From here, there is 2 possible paths. I can either write a small proof of concept prototype to validate if the idea is valid and has potential or I can leave it there and continue support of exchange #2 that I have been talking about for months now without never dedicate myself 100% to the completion of that effort...
It is hard to decide... I know that sooner or later, it is going to be crucial to diversify my operations... It is a risk to be on a single exchange... No one can predict who is going to be the next FTX...
OTOH, the new idea if valid could generate $300-$1000 income daily or more and that finally eliminate all my financial concerns instantly...
I am in a good pass... It seems like my effort and decision are starting to pay off... As if I was in the process to put in place the last few pieces of jigsaw puzzle...
and finally on a more personal note, after having spent pretty much the last 3 months like a dedicated monk, I have started feel the urge to maybe to get a new female friend... This need did never occur during that period... I was way too much concerned about succeeding which was more or a survival matter and also since I have pretty much hit the bottom of the barrel financially, I kinda was feeling unworthy to have a FWB... I guess that now that I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel... my confidence is resurfacing... I got a match maybe 2 weeks ago on a dating app... First impression was positive and I was thinking that something would come out of this meeting... Things went sour and ended up without ever meeting in real life... I think that I have avoided a drama queen so not a big loss... but still this has teased me even more that having a FWB would be a nice thing to have... nothing to report until yesterday morning... I have matched with very interesting, very hot, very naughty women in the same half hour...
I am amazed how the simple fact of wanting something will give an experience similar to crossing a desert but the moment you decide to get rid of that desire, abundance is offered to you on a silver plate... I am not committed to any of them but tbh, considering the small amount of time that I want to dedicate to social and fun... exploring 3 leads is more than I wanted... I'll try to make my mind fast with who I am more interested in... but bottomline, the result is so spectucular and out of nowhere... I wonder if I am not experiencing some TID from another program... not impossible since I am starting to approach the end of my 4th UMS cycle...
