Today I got to use that stuff in the garage I’ve been saving because I knew one day I’d need it. I finally got around to fixing that problem I found in 1997.

Ramblings, often stream of conscious, journaling the events of my life.
Trying a new registrar
I’m a long time Dotster user. Giving Porkbun a try and am pretty impressed so far. Low cost. Great security. 2FA includes authenticator applications as well as WebAuthn (I use Yubico). You can also purchase with cryptocurrency.

Professional growth
While I search for new employment, I’ve been taking the opportunity to expand my skillset. I’m very excited about React.js. I’ve been reviewing algorithms and calculating their complexity in time and space and really enjoying the exercises. Next up, Jenkins.

Tuesday Irony
Was going to spend the day applying for jobs. Instead I spent the day working. How’s that for irony?
This all began with an Atari 400 (technically with an Atari 2600)
Every single time I pull up a terminal window and begin typing “ssh -l” I feel like such a hacker ? “Morpheus, I’m going in!”
My skills assessment for .NET C# 4.5 and SQL 2012 programming
This was a 51 question test. As someone who mostly works in Adobe’s ColdFusion and PHP, I’m not ashamed of this at all.
Exercise…what a way to begin the day!
Completed a rowing workout. It calmed my mind. Gave me focus. Helped me plan my day.
Of course it helped listening to Crazy Mama by J.J. Cale on Pandora https://pandora.app.link/tQQWeeV6jsb
Awoke
It’s 6am and I awoke with a panic attack. Going to exercise then do some administrative work then spend the day applying for jobs like a machine.
Productivity
Spent the day nose down in the WordPress codex on a WooCommerce Storefront theme and building a Max Mega Menu into the store. Beautiful plugin. Day of PHP and CSS.
Inspiring myself to practice daily by sharing my juggling on Instagram
It’s resume day!
A bout of insomnia left me with only 4 hours of sleep last night. However, I’m caffeinated and focused on getting resumes and cover letters written. Resumes and cover letters are not my forte.
Ready to hit the ground running
Me: “This will be a productive day!”
Internet: “eh, about that. I’m down right now.”
WooCommerce fun
Today I’m working through applying a Mega Menu to a Storefront theme in WordPress’ WooCommerce.
8.5 hours later… I’m rather pleased with the changes to the site today.
It’s Tuesday
Today is all about WordPress and WooCommerce.
