The introduction of class syntax was a HUGE deal for me. It allowed me to bypass a lot of the language-specific quirkiness of JavaScript, and ease-into non class-based JS. It’s worth the transition, but I’m glad they were there to help me get here.

Has the Pomodoro technique actually worked for anyone? I find that 25 minutes isn’t nearly enough time. There’s definitely a point in which I start to lose focus, but it’s usually an hour or two, not 25 minutes.

Less than 1 week serving as an interim manager at Sandhills and I’m already forcing myself to not say “ping me”. I WILL NOT SUCCUMB TO THIS VERNACULAR!

I’ve spent a lot of time sitting in waiting rooms today. I’ve been working while waiting, and this is the first time I’ve really spent any time in-public in a long time. Even with a mask on, it’s nice to be working somewhere new. I can’t wait until this pandemic is over.

In a world of CMSs, we always skip just uploading some damn files. I just upgraded my personal site from something not far from this, conceptually. Even now, everything is just markdown, which is little more than abridged take on HTML. buff.ly/3mIL5bP thanks @phuctm97

Getting upgrades to my truck’s suspension system installed today. I’m sitting at the shop, and had the pleasure of chatting with the owner. Really cool dude, traveled all over the country in a camper for 10 years before setting up shop here in hill country, Texas.

Work in progress, but we installed a baby gate and basically cut Devin’s massive bunk in-half. He doesn’t need all the space and we needed a way for Ben to be able to climb in his bed. This adjustment makes that easier, and also creates another play surface.

It’s amazing how much stuff we’ve sold or gotten rid of since we left Ohio. I bet we’ve removed 300 lbs of things we thought we needed, but simply didn’t.

Kate got a sticker of the US. We get to fill it in as we travel. Here’s where we’ve been so-far. I expect that by the end of the year most of western US will be filled in.

You either work on your business, or your work in your business. There is a time and place for both, but it can be hard to tell when you need to shift. Where are you now?
