I tuned one of my guitars in Nashville tuning (using the smaller strings from a 12 string guitar pack) and it's got a nice, bright, chimey sound. It's been super fun playing around with it. 🎸

My interview on the CoRecursive podcast was just published. It was 4 hours of discussion which Adam edited down to a tight hour. Feedback seems to be great so far.

Was part of a twitter space for the first time which was a new experience for me.

I'm on the Dev Network advisory board and had the first call there so I'm selecting talks for an upcoming conference. I was on a conference committee before, but not as big as this one.

Don't hesitate to reach out to community members if you need help. I've found that folks are very open to answering questions or to pointing you in the right direction.

I made progress on a side project. Had to stop today the weather radio kept blaring alerts and I could think with it going off. Everything fine now but there were high winds all day.

  • An analysis I did at work drove some actual decision-making (every manager at every company claims to be "data-driven", but 90% are not, I'd guess.)

  • I'm getting the hang of Svelte's syntax

I have just started studying HTML5 + CSS3. I am a civil engineer, but I am considering changing careers because I find the programming world amazing. Well, let's keep going; there is a long way ahead of me.

Started getting all the parts for my gravel bike build. I've got a custom titanium frame on-order, and I'll have all the parts ready-and-waiting before it's done. I know it's not code-side, but I am pretty pleased about it.

I went to a physical (not online) bookstore and got couple of paperbacks (The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce and Swami and Friends by R.K. Narayan). This is the first time I went to a book store post pandemic. I also got to write an EJS client program for a customer. Cheers!
