Update for the week ending on Friday, Nov 29, 2019

Short week due to Thanksgiving

New project research

Compiled a list of all the local machine shops that match my criteria
Visited two of them
Had a short meeting with VP of one company, scheduled follow-up meeting for next week
Researched CRM solutions
- Couldn’t find anything.
- I’m looking for something that just lets me track meetings I have with different companies
- Most solutions have lots of complicated stuff with scheduling and sales projections, which I don’t need
- The closest match is Monica, but it’s more optimized for personal relationships.
- For now, just keeping everything in a paper pad and Google Drive

Removed meal plans from the navigation bar
- They’re still linked from a blog post, but I’m writing them off as a failed experiment. I’ll maybe bring them back for the new year.
Added a site mission statement
- This is an experiment to see how interested people are in delving deeper into the site as opposed to just getting their answer and leaving
Added Recently Added Foods to the homepage
- This is an experiment to see whether this helps people perceive the site as “fresher” or if it gets Google to index new articles faster.

Wrote a hacky Python script to automatically generate Markdown tables for my monthly retros
- It turned out that I had been making lots of little arithmetic errors doing them by hand, so I fixed them for the last 6 months.

Started work on a new view that allows you to view work on a single project
