#canadayear - week 42
Don't panic
The week was filled with a lot of general gardening work. We also took down another tree. And we are cleaning the house a bit more, since a new woofer is coming on Monday, the first this year.
In personal news, I am leaving Canada rather soonish, in about two weeks. So this series and my year abroad comes to an end. I had a lot of fun and even though coronavirus took out the potential traveling, I still saw a fair amount of Canadian nature and landscape, so that is nice.
I also basically dropped out of the social media coronavirus project, because of a multitude of reasons, but mainly because I want to focus my free time on preparing my escape from here and on my personal projects. So that is the good news, I will restart developing those, which I really look forward to.
And thanks to a suggestion of my brother, I took the time and finished watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The last season Disney made is a great connection between the whole series and Star Wars: Revenge of the sith. I can really recommend watching it, especially the chronological order.
Until next week👋

#canadayear - week 43
The end is near
This is the second last post from Canada. I am flying home to Germany on next weeks Sunday.
Matt arrived this week and has been a tremendous help. We cut and stacked wood away, did a lot of wedding, put sticks in for tomatoes, planted and watered plants.
Personally, I invested my free time right now in reviewing quizzes from the quiz contest. I am not sure I will be able to go through all german ones until they close that section, but I am trying. As of this moment, I have played through 99 of 169. So Im on a good way.
I also spend a bit of time developing new features for the chameleon bot, check it out at @thechameleon.

Since my days in Canada are coming to an end, I feel a bit more comfortable getting back to old topics. Right now, I want to remind you to BACK UP everything you mind loosing. Everything important I have is somewhere in my telegram chats at least, a lot on GitHub, and some very important stuff (like my scanned signature!) is on an USB drive while being on two PCs, in my saved message chat and on my phone.
Why I am thinking of this topic? Now, for the first time since the 6 1/2 months my @thechameleon(bot) is running, I started introducing database backups. If anything happened to my server in the meantime, I would not have been able to recover the database and every player would have lost their stats. It is arguably not as important as, I don't know, some sensible banking information. But I personally would have felt pretty bad about it.
Anyway, please back up your files, thank you.
