2020/08 Ship's Log

This is the second week our family has implemented a day set apart to cease from the common labors of life and to embrace all the good which God has bestowed. In other words, the Sabbath.

From this morning until now I have been in physical, emotional and mental agony. I woke with a splitting headache and full body aches, twice snapped at my son, and been in a mental fog that even a two hour nap didn’t clear. The curse broke almost exactly at sundown; the end of the day.

Coincidence? I think not.

A lovely poem featuring Jesus and hiking.

The experience Rachel must have to know so many Unix file handling pitfalls astounds me. Her style, a kind of breathless enumeration, draws me in too, even though I only vaguely comprehend some of the content.

In spite of my happiness with my own site’s custom theme, I’m more than half tempted to switch to Hermit.

I’m excited to see that ‘Letters to a New Developer’ is available soon (on Aug 16!). Full of actionable advice and perspectives to help newer developers level up. Get 20% off a pre-order with the code GiveMeMoore08 at the Apress website.

I am thankful to God for the principles outlined in Financial Peace University, and Brian Dinges for hosting the class at Evanston Vineyard. The stress of a global pandemic has been enormously de-escalated by the financial decisions we made months and years in advance.

When I get a little spare time, I want to finish a bare-bones Flask MicroPub server to generate Hugo content from any provider that uses the MicroPub spec, like Indigenous wrap the server in a service layer.
