A little junctional making me less functional
Iāve had premature ventricular contractions (PVC) since at least my mid-20s. Thatās when I passed out while cycling and was wired up for a few days. I can feel my heart do its skippity-flips. It feels like someone rolling their knuckles on the inside of my rib cage. It doesnāt hurt; it just feels weird. Fast (or slow) forward to the Apple Watch days, and here I am with my own ECGs to play withā¦

COVID-19 casualty
And so it begins. Today I was made redundant at my current job along with many others. I have no ill feelings. This is what it is. If anything, this gives me a bizarre freedom. I no longer have to WFH when thereās no work and just wondering what they want me to learn, spread myself thin trying to guess what might be coming our way, and getting nothing done. I now have my own schedule and boss.ā¦

COVID-19: first post in this new normal
Long before COVID-19 was a hashtag, work had been slow. To keep my tech up and skills relevant, Iād play (learn!) at work on Free Code Camp or with various tutorial. As work for our group continued to not show its head, I girded my loins and started rebuilding my portfolio. My original one was, bless its heart, just basic HTML and CSS. I liked keeping it around. It is a great reminder why we useā¦

Learning how to learn ... again
Learning how to learn ā¦Ā again
I have learned many things. I have also forgotten many things. To avoid the latter, I pay attention to how I do the former.
One of the hardest things to learn how to learn is programming. German? Study. Flip those 1990 3Ć5 flash cards. Flip through that Duden. Do a junior year abroad in Germany and Austria. Read texts in German. Write to German-speaking friends. Workbooks. Texts. You know.ā¦

750 words: Stop with the tech-is-badĀ bs!
Possible ageism trigger warning. Iām going to complain about older people. By older people, I also include people my age (50). Itās not about their age, but the generation and exposure to tech those generations had.
In 1987, I got my first Macintosh. At the time, I thought thereās be other apples to choose from. I was hoping Iād upgrade to a Granny Smith or Honey Crisp; however, Apple did notā¦

(750words.com entry for today: 911 words, including metadata list,Ā Ā stats)
To learn something (anything), one has to practice. The comic artist Sarah Andersen of Sarahās Scribbles has a widely shared strip about what makes her great. Itās practice. No matter what anyone tells you, itās practice. Practice is closely related to habit.
If I want to improve upon a skill, I need to practice often andā¦

Gitty up with baby steps
Gitty up with babyĀ steps
I just read this articleĀ by Ariel Camus on FreeCodeCamp about becoming a Git Master. While I understand the need to have branches when working with others, I have been slack to adopt that process when working on my own projects. That is changing.
Slowly. Slowly because I have to remember to do it, not because I am resistant. Swiss cheese for brains.
I returned to one of my early assignments. Iā¦

Ok to be the good-enough dev?Ā Yepsilon.
Oh, I just know that would raise some hackles. āGood enoughā sounds like one is lowering the bar. If I want to be just good enough dev, then Iām ok with bugs, sloppy code, side-effects, untested code. But what is the next level up from good-enough? Better enough? Hardly. Not if you care about spoken and written language. Best? Who is best? Perfect? Riiiight. You keep telling yourself that, tiger.ā¦

CodePen Challenge: details
This weekās CodePen Challenge: details and her little bestie summary. I had no idea they existed, so chalk another one up to benefits of a challenge.
Confession time: I did not research too much about how to style the accordion function or even if I could. I did not find any need to with what I had chosen. Not this time. When I use detailsin a project, Iāll probably wonder more about the styling.ā¦

Here I am so far. (I am using screenshots because my version is not responsive.)
Original by Kerry Beary and my wip. (I believe she spells it -mellows and not -mallows because sheās punny.)
In terms of what is left to do that is furniture or furnishings, I have the lamp and interior of the pod. I can do those and stay pretty true to the original; however, when itās time to do the cats ā¦

CodePen Challenge: del & insĀ tags
This is my first CodePen challenge, and the topic is using the del and ins tags.
Screenshot of my del and ins attempt
My applied creativity level was low for this one. I have never usedĀ del and insĀ and had to figure out what their default styles were and how I could alter them. The examples found on CodePen are fanbloodytastic. Iād like to play more withĀ del and insĀ and include animations like thā¦

Sometimes I rant onĀ Facebook
Like today:
I donāt think subjects and verbs should agree all of the time. I mean, what if theyāve grown apart? What maybe verb doesnāt always want to go along with what subject says because itās always about subject, subject is all, like, totally āItās all about meā, which is interesting because āmeā is an object. It canāt even talk about itself because āitselfā is reflective (unlike the everā¦

Just a few words in this post. Iām on my way to San Antonio to say goodbye to and remember Paul Erwin. The entire Erwin family is inspiring to me. Paul started The Winston School, a school for kids with average and above intelligence who struggled in mainstream schools because of their learning differences. His first wife was my English and language arts teacher. She always reminded me of what Iā¦
