Hm. Just discovered TinyDB. Pretty simple and cool for simple things. #db #tinydb

Everyone has a story. Some are even interesting.

Well, I really like MongoDB, but not if it can’t run on a RaspberryPi. I guess it’s SQLite3 again. #mongodb #failure #raspberrypi

I want to buy real fruit flavored ice cream. Here in the US the only available fruit ice cream is strawberry and occasionally cherry. No blueberry, pineapple, apple, mango, or any of the other fruits. Stuff here is full of “stuff” like chocolate, and goop. #icecream #failure

Realize that the 80s were 40 years ago. That like the 70s to the 30s.

Simplify. Don’t try to be clever. Don’t try to confuse just because you can. Being confusing isn’t a super power. #writing

Waitperson: “Can I get a shot?” Bartender: Pulls out a derringer and fires at the waitperson who falls, a tiny hole spurting blood from her chest. Waitperson: (mumbling) Thanks. #writing #throwawayline

Speaking of focus. I’m still looking for a GTD app that works the way I want it to. GoodTask is really close., but it doesn’t have a web view/API, which restricts it. I may have to write my own. #gtd #goodtask

Focus isn’t about “thinking hard”. It is about centering your attention one one target to the exclusion of others. #life #success

Anyone remember UML and CORBA?

It’s cold and very windy. Winter is still here. Time to find lunch and do some writing. #writing

Day 1023. Still no doughnuts.

Do people still use Ada? #programming

If you are a writer, you are always a child learning something new every day. #writing
