This week I set up my documentation workflow, Git publishing process, and chose my tooling.
Finding a tool that helps me in breaking up the tasks and activate reminders on my mobile is my goal in my selection.(excel would not be an option with reminders)
It is not easy to manage my time as I'm a mom and also running WRO season 2026 in Kuwait in the same time I'm taking this course attending zilions of meetings in a week. These are the ones I tried in not longer than 10 min of trial each.
01 | I created a new free account on Monday and downloaded mobile version
02| I strated adding my weeks and subtasks for each week and update the status
01 | I created a new free account on ClickUp
02| tried to find the fastest way to add items without setting up alot of parameters in PM software
I wanted to find the best and shortest way to have my files edited locally and upploaded to the my GitLab repository without the risk of duplicated files.
01 | I used the HTTP link as my username to connect with GitLab
02| from preferences, I created Personal Access Token
03| A dedicated token is needed for each tool or terminal used
04| Token scope should be API
01 | Download GitHub descktop for Mac
02| Installing the App
03| Addiing HTTPs link as user, selecting the local path to clone the repo and used Personal Access Token as Password.
04| Connected to repo and cloned successfully
01 | Open Dreamwaver Adobe and creat a new site
02| Connecting the site to my Gitlab repository
03| Git client was not installed on my Mac
04| Installing Git client
05| Running the installation with HomeBrew on the Tirminal
06| Try again to connecting to Gitlab
07| Start the Git Pull by adding HTTP Link, username and token to connect to my repo
08| Creating new files and editing exsiting ones on local enviroment
09| Selecting the files to be stagged and uploaded
10| Staging files and adding commints
11| Push to the repo and update files
I wanted to find a tool that compress images in resonable resolution/ clearity in a size not more than 200KB with acceptable quality. Its important to compress folders to save time.
01 | Slecting the screenshot images taken in bulk
02| righclick to open them with Preview App on Mac
03| Export with more option to reduce size file
01 | Command brew install ffmpeg
02| Compress using ffmpeg -i me.jpg -q:v 10 me2.jpg
My strategy was to have the index page with the maain navigation bar on the left, while useing ifream tages to load all the other pages on the right sid of the page. I also developed a template design that can apply to all the assignment. Each assignment has a folder with an index.html page and img folder.
01 | Using Bootstrap 5.3 for ready and easy to use CSS styling and JS scripts.
02| W3schools.com was a good reference to the options available
03| I made sure to add comments to easily navigate through the code by me or others.
04| This is the structure I will be following in building this website.
The purpose of this table is to calculate and track the total fixed-cost overhead associated with my activities and projects up to FabLab graduation. The costs calculated here will be treated as overhead fixed costs and allocated proportionally across all projects undertaken during the coming weeks.
This approach ensures consistent cost attribution and accurate project-level cost analysis throughout the FabLab period.
From an accounting perspective, the primary fixed cost associated with all my projects during the FabLab program and the coming weeks is the USD 5,000 FabLab enrollment fee. This cost will be amortized over 32 weeks, resulting in a weekly fixed cost of USD 156.25.
In addition, I maintain several monthly software subscriptions that are already used within my company operations,for the purpose of FabLab-related activities, it is estimated that 25% of the monthly subscription costs will be attributable to FabLab projects.
There was no direct project-specific cost incurred during the current week.
| Item | Description | Total Cost | Weekly Amortization | USD Cost/week |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FabLab Fee | For 32 weeks | 5000 | =(5000/32weeks) | 156.25 |
| AdobeCreative | Monthly Subcription- 4 weeks | 15 | =(15/4weeks)*25% usage | 0.94 |
| Chat GPT pro | Monthly Subcription- 4 weeks | 20 | =(20/4weeks)*25% usage | 1.25 |
| Capcut Pro | Monthly Subcription- 4 weeks | 14 | =(14/4weeks)*25% usage | 0.88 |
| Canva Pro | Monthly Subcription- 4 weeks | 12 | =(15/4weeks)*25% usage | 0.75 |
| Overhead | Cost per week | 160.06 |
01 | loginin and creating a new GPT
02 | Defineing the role of the FabGPT and the context of the convestations
03 | Defining the area of GPT expert and selecting the version
04 | Complete setup for a FabGPT which can be use via this link
05 | Sharing my code and asking FabGPT to debug and explain why it's not working
06 | the syntax error is beeing highlighted and a better vesion of my code is also shared
