Stage 4 (Month 2) day 22:
I spent the whole week tackling with tasks that I have been procrastinating doing for months.
It is pretty much a full break from my trading project which has mostly not traded at all during that time except for the last 48h with the major crypto crash currently going on.
Concerning the unrelated tasks that I have cleared, it provides a feeling of relief and satisfaction. When I postpone tasks for that long, it is always to avoid pain that I imagine doing it will bring. It is never as bad as I imagine but the thought of that pain is making me procrastinating over those tasks.
One of the task was to replace a hard disk for a SSD in my previous main desktop computer to convert it into a Monero miner. With Linux, doing something is never simple. I had to relearn intricacies about rsync, bash curly braces expansion, grub mkinitcpio and so on... Now, that it is over, nothing was very complicated, but I have burned few days on doing it when it could have taken hours. idk, maybe it is me getting older and slower...
The desired outcome was to increase my overall mining pool hash rate. That is the type of thing that once setup, it requires very little attention but relentlessly bring back some money 24h a day 7 days a week. You set it up and you can forget about it. If it runs for months or years, sooner you launch your miner, the better. Well, that is the theory. Since it is a somehow old machine, it does not seem to make a noticeable difference on my overall hash rate.
Idk if something is wrong with me. It seems like I did focus mostly on working on low profit tasks resulting in making me waste my precious time...
At least, it is now done. I can move on.
Concerning the trading system activity, it did pretty well. For one, no crashes at all. I suspect that it did stumble into few snags... Its state did not seem pristine when I restarted it earlier this afternoon. I have roughly 100 trades to analyze in a 5MB big log file. I am sure that this trading activity will make me discover bugs that did escape my attention until now. My system is most likely than not going to be better than it was by the end of the week-end...
I am not sure I should be happy or sad. If I look the amount of cryptos that I own, I did a good gain. However, my assets value nominated in dollar got a major hit in the balls...
On a different topic, because I have kinda completed a major milestone with my trading project and I am getting close from completing a super UMSv2 cycle and considering that I haven't gotten any intimacy with a woman since I have started UMS (at least), I am considering making a small DMSI test run... Those pesky intimacy urges are in the process of resurfacing and because I have worked really hard in the last few months, I certainly deserve a small pleasure reward...
