  • Finished rereading (listening) [[Doughnut Economics]].
    • Still relevant and useful.

  • [[wp cli]] is handy.

  • In a [[causal loop diagram]], where do you put actions, things that happen? I guess it’s a flow. But, what causes the flow?

  • Reread Robin Sloan’s article on [[Stock and flow]].
    • As an analogy for garden and stream.
    • Not sure if it’s an analogy to [[stocks and flows]] specifically in systems thinking, or there’s a more generic economic concept.
    • Anyway - he makes a good point that it’s not good to be all stock, no flow.
    • He means it in the sense of, you should post to the stream a little bit, so people know what you’re up to.
    • I should consider that - I generally don’t post to social media streams, just to my journal here.
    • Which I like as it remains distraction free.
    • But it does reduce social interaction significantly.

  • On Tuesday I went to a workshop on learning the basics of electrical repairs.

    • Was good to meet some other volunteers from the area.
      • The round of intros took up a lot of the session though…
    • Had a bit of an overview on useful tools and basic electronic components, wired a plug, and then started repairing broken items we had brought with us.
    • It’s a two parter. Next time we’ll look at using a [[multimeter]], [[PAT testing]], and the [[right to repair]].
  • [[Doughnut Economics]] has a good overview of what a [[system]] is and why [[systems thinking]] of useful.
