Where did the Day go?
I woke up this morning, tried to call a place only to find it closed, then checked my phone to find out to my shock that it was Saturday, not Friday as I had thought. I have no idea which day it was that I lost this week. I think it is reasonable to say that my mental functioning is not so great recently. Probably time to admit that yeah, I'm ( Read more... ) -
Software
I've been writing an rfid door access control system on an arduino uno recently and it has made me nostalgic for the way I first learned software programming, with minimal abstraction, and a necessity to optimize. The two craziest pieces of software I ever wrote were both in high school. In one I implemented the core logic of conway's life in ( Read more... ) -

Changes
Am I being my best self? Certainly Not.
I quit my job. Maybe that will help. Just a few more weeks left. When I tell people, they keep asking me what my plan is. I don't know what to tell them. I think I need to shut that door and breath out before I'll have a good idea of what next. -
Where I'm at now
Unable to care about work and life. Part of me is saying this is just the long winter with not enough exercise or sunlight. On the other hand wondering if it will soon be time for a decennial major change (yes, I used a dictionary to find that word). Almost 10 years ago now I tossed everything about what I was doing, who my friends were, and ( Read more... ) -

Trying to figure out what is important and travel plans
Mel thinks I should quit my job and I will find new things to give meaning once I free the energy and time. The last time I quit something and made a major change it was a great decision. I don't hate my job and I enjoy the problem solving opportunities it provides. Also, I tend to squander much of the three days a week I currently don't work ( Read more... ) -
When will I finally learn..
Not to read newspaper comments. They only make me angry and sad.
