Muted May

This has been a quiet month.  I got myself busy with vibe coding.  My first project was to automate my ServiceNow ticket tracking using Gemini.  I used Gemini to generate java scripts that scan my mail inbox for mails from ServiceNow, check my tracker if they already exist.  If the ticket already exists, the script will use Gemini to summarize the content and update the records.  If the ticket is new, it will create a new entry in my tracker.  There's still some issues with new tickets, so the process is semi-automated.  But man...  it reduces my workload a lot.  This particular task that could take anywhere between 15 to 20 hours a week now takes an hour a day.  And I only need to pay about S$6 to save myself 40 to 60 hours a month.  I was so frustrated when the asshole manager told me ticket tracking will be removed from my 2026 KPI, but apparently I'm still the one conducting weekly calls with the team in Vietnam.  Since they're looking for ways to fail me, I have to step up my game too against these assholes.

Madhouse May

May has been an extremely packed month, I was even considering recapping this month's entry as "Machine Gun May", but I thought it wouldn't rhyme so well.  So "Madhouse" it is as the word describes the packed month quite appropriately anyway.

Ambivalent April

As April draws to a close, I can say that this has been a somewhat mixed bag of a month.  There were nice moments and there were unpleasant ones too…  Although all are certainly memorable.  

Let’s start with the first one…. My lime trees were infested with lime caterpillars…  At first I was somewhat rattled by these pests and the first thing that came to mind was “kill ‘em”.  However, after I gathered them into a box, I had a change of heart when I realized that other than the damage they caused to my lime trees, they're actually quite harmless.  Moreover, I've done the best I possibly could to clear the trees of these caterpillars.  And they could definitely serve a nice lesson to the kids about metamorphosis.  So I decided to keep the caterpillars instead by modifying a plastic container into a makeshift incubator.
