Progress is being made, though there are a lot of moving pieces. Turns out I never got around to adding the stars to the system model! Part of that is also due to the fact I was confused over the nomenclature: what I am calling stellar types is actually the sizes: Ia, Ib, and so on. And the star type is the traditional B0, G0 and all that. Which I *finally* figured out when I created the stellar data table to get all the other info.
So, adding those to the system pages as well as updating the repository so stuff is eager loaded. Meaning we collect all the related data when we do the initial request for the data. As this DB is so very small, as well as local, that sort of thing works well. For larger, more complex databases, this is not always a good idea. Like a lot of software - it is usage dependent. Sadly, I live in a world with few hard and fast rules as so much is contextual!
Regardless, got the star list to at least show up, though I am not saving off the data just yet. But once I get all that done, as well as the same for the stellar size, then I can get to the actual orbital period!

| work in progress. And yes, really need to make that a prettier list. I'll probably fancy it up via some AI prompting. |
Job hunting is going apace. I fear that job scrolling has become the new doom scrolling! I've applied to 26 jobs so far, and of course, heard nothing back. Several I think I hit all the marks they want but this is a crowded field. And honestly, in the software world, not all those jobs posted are actually real jobs. Shocker, I know.
And finally - I watched the Artemis launch. So glad we are going back to the moon. I remember the Apollo flights and thinking we'd have a moon base not too long after that. I suppose too much UFO and Space:1999 spoiled me.
