It’s been a mad week. Sleepless, scarce personal space, constant demands. One of those weeks that I wonder what fool would choose to be a parent. But for slim glimmers in the midst (and no escape hatch), I’d be finished.

We forded a river of anxiety to get Royal into Graham’s room before he sleeps through the night, but we’ve made it to the far side! Yes, we’re still waking more than we want with a seven-month-old, but Graham’s graciously dealt with the intrusion and Royal has slept better in his bedroom than anywhere else.

I’ve added the Ubuntu font family for my site! What do you think? Snazzy.
On Victoria’s recommendation I began to use block-level, line, and indentation highlighting. I’ve found code navigation to be more effortless than ever. Thanks Victoria!
Victoria’s post reminds me that it’s about time I figured out how to set up a VPN. While I’m sure ExpressVPN is excellent, I’ll learn tons more by configuring my own WireGuard VPN server. It already comes with client support!
I so appreciate Blue Collar Praise from Common Hymnal. What endurance it takes to care for two small kids, work a full-time job, and keep the hope of spiritual revolution alive.
We dream of you on city streets,
breathing again on our bones.
We dream of you at kitchen sinks,
your glory filling our homes.
We are not beasts of burden,
we are children of grace.
And the blue in our collars,
is a garment of praise.
YES!!!
I disabled my Pi-hole for a few weeks because I didn’t have the network skills to fix an issue. But I’ve gained those skills and am happy to use this amazing software again! Well worth a donation.
Matthew’s eldest, Jaq, shows the marvel of human memory with some help from his dad’s cinematic genius. transformers opening scene
Why is rest so easy to forget? There was no need to work heads-down for eight hours straight, but I couldn’t stop myself from “just one more thing.”
Science fiction communicates reality better than most non-fiction. Matt’s pondering from Anathem on the subject of innovation is a fun example. It reminds me of an MBA post I wrote from Asimov’s Foundation series. Maybe I’ll dig it up and post it…
Much has been said about the mental stamina it takes to write software. There are many concepts and skills one keeps top-of-mind to write code, and the mental toll is significant. But my hat goes off to the technical writers. A thorough software requirements specification, development estimate, and statement of work is equally taxing and has (to my knowledge) fewer tools to isolate the complexity. It’s been a long work day…
Privacy.com is a service I may consider. Amie purchases items on various sites who then store our card information forever. It’s creepy to have a purchase on an infrequently used website go through without account info because they have it from a year ago. This service would let me supply a dummy account that I could control for access and spending limits.

This has been a highly productive day. Surprising, given that I’m sick. The first chance I get, after a couple days of exhaustion and distraction, and I’m ready to jump into overdrive.
