Sometimes you have to be clever to figure out what you’re doing. #life #success

This place has 5 menus. Gordon Ramsey would turn over in his grave. #food

What did you learn today? Learning implies you acquired new knowledge. I learned that CarPlay/tvOS use templates for views. I have a site where I track what I learn each day. #education #learning #knowledge

I would really like to figure out how to get FFXIV running on a Sony PS, but Square ENIX make things difficult. They think security equals obscurity. #sony #ffxiv #failure

The 9s seem to be the hardest years: Your 29th, 39th, etc.

“I don’t know everything, but then, I know enough to make stuff up. After all, that’s what God did.”

Plans are not blueprints.

My goal for the near future: — get my Drunken Werewolves story polished enough to submit to #mdc3con. — finish editing and get “Out of Time” published. — get out and ride my e-bike once the weather is reasonable. — get back to plotting out “The Coins of Destiny” Book 2. — brew beer — brew need — …

When I visit a “Happy Hour”, which isn’t often, I find everyone is putting on an act because they have had too much, not because they are happy. #life #failure #writing #character

Ever wonder how good 001 was compared to 007? #bond #writing

I broke down and pre-ordered the new Zelda. It’s a present to myself. I’ll probably hate/not like it the way I dont enjoy BotW. BotW was the first Zelda, I couldnt get into. I’m setting my expectations low, so that I might like it. #nintendo #zelda

Just because something is strange, doesn’t mean it’s mysterious. #life

I would trade Swift/SwiftUI for NewtonScript any day of the week. (My opinion). Swift/SwiftUI syntax is academic in nature and not very approachable. NewtonScript is strange, but approachable. #swift #swiftui #newtonscript

First draft done. It’s not as polished as my typical frst drafts, but it has Doctor McCoy–“good bones”. #writing #shortstory

“You should be like a river. It doesn’t know where it’s going. It just does.” #writing

The floaty thing I was bemoaning. #ipados #failure

“You can’t know everything. Not even God knew what would happen when he went on vacation” #writing #throwawayline #life

This is the worst #ipadOS UI design decision. This floaty thing just gets in the way. It should just be an icon in the title bar of the app, and I don’t know of a way to turn it off. #ipados #ui #failure

I forgot how much I like Leuchtrum journals. Great paper for fountain pens. #fountainpen #writing

I’m still working on this Drunken Werewolves story. It’s just taken another turn—this time to something darker. It will need a whole lot of polish to make it flo and read well, but I like the core. #writing #shortstofy

It’s time to wind down, eat and write some more. #food #writing

Time to hunt some food

Personal stuff taken care of. Just checked into the hotel. Here’s how to freak out the staff: when they ask how many room keys you want, the correct answer is 752.
