I'll be a happy guy if...

If I manage to create three quizzes for my paid Substack before I leave for Busan, I'll be a happy guy. I think I can get all three done by Wednesday (the first quiz was finished earlier tonight), then I'll have to do my usual wrestle with ChatGPT to get the code right. So expect three new and fairly basic quizzes on nouns by, oh, Friday at the latest. I doubt I'll have any tests ready by the time I'm on the bus to go south, but if I do get three decent quizzes done, I won't worry about anything else until I'm back from Andong in mid-November.

I've also been trying to upload all of my photos from last year's walk (still on my phone) to my Google Drive so as to make room for this year's upcoming walk photos. Not that I have to do this: my Samsung Galaxy S21 has enough room for two or three years' worth of walk photos. It's a huge improvement, storage-wise, over the Galaxy that I'd bought back in 2013. In other ways, though, this iteration of the Galaxy is a pain in the ass. Mandatory and secrecy-compromising updates are way too common, and occasionally, the updates are so thorough that they erase previous protocols I'd had in place, e.g., how to log into my Shinhan Bank app. You may recall how, earlier this year, I had to go to the bank in person to get help with logging back into my own phone app. It's highly inconvenient if I have to do that every time my phone undergoes a system update. I'm still getting used to the new login procedure, which requires a different password to log in.

Well, life keeps me busy even if it's not keeping me paid. I'll do more about branching out once I'm back from the walk. In the meantime, sit tight. As the Starks say, Quizzes are coming.
