    New glasses! We went ahead and splurged and got a pair of prescription sunglasses too. I ordered them on @zennioptical – and they were a lot cheaper than the eyeglasses store.

    This afternoon:

    Ack. These images aren’t loading correctly.

    I know! I’ll try regenerating the thumbnail…

    Sigh. Rest In Peace @Viper007Bond. We never met, but your plugins have helped my business grow.

    Spending an evening learning the basics of regex has paid off in ways I never imagined it would. It has made me better in so many unexpected areas or programming. If you don’t know it, seriously, spend 1 evening and take a course. You’ll thank me later. Super simple example. I am working in a codebase that is expansive, and is not something I’m extremely familiar with yet. I know that there is probably a function that will format currency automatically.

    So I searched (with regex) for:

    format.*currency

    And found it.

    Wow! @Apple got my laptop back to me 3 days after sending it in for repairs. They told me it would take about a week to finish, and it took 3 days, and I’m absolutely thrilled.

    There’s probably a lesson there about setting client expectations.
