W9 / D3

Just got a letter scheduling me for a nuchal scan marts 6th! It's only in 3 weeks!!! 😳 I'll be 12+3 then. I'm a little nervous they'll finds something is wrong. But I guess I'll always be. Luckily it's on my vacation leave from work - and I am outsourced the following weeks.

Today I Learned: lots of things!

Today I worked on my capstone. I focused today on the R and U show/edit pages of my questions CRUD. Still plugging along!

Oh, and on the way home from class, I managed to catch President Obama's motorcade on E. Houston street.

App Academy: Week 9, Day 3

Today was the second to last day for working on our capstones before Friday's presentation, so it's total crunch time now to put the finishing touches on our apps. I was really happy to be able to implement one of my reach features today, real-time messaging and real-time notifications. To achieve this, I had to learn how to use Pusher with both Rails and JavaScript. Essentially, on the backend, I set up a Pusher controller to authenticate users, who I set up private channels for. Then, on the frontend, events generated by other users send messages to that user's channel, which triggers the appropriate events within my React frontend to render the user's view to reflect those other users' actions.

For tomorrow, I'm going to work on putting some final visual touches on my app as well as implementing a couple sidebars for the timeline view, including a box that shows some of the user's friends.

Today I worked on one of my last features and with the help of PgSearch it came together very nicely. As you could have guessed, you are now able to search for users, playlists, and songs by name/title all in the same search. What may have been a tall task was easily conquered by PgSearch that once loaded and you properly identify what models and attributes you would like to be searched it creates a polymorphic table to hold everything and makes the combined search very easy.

Per usual, the more time consuming part was creating views for everything as I needed to create custom widgets for a user, song, and playlist in the search result in order to keep them looking uniform and then formatted it to have tabs to limit your search to only Songs, Playlists, OR Users if you want to use that as your search criteria. At the end of the day I spent a few hours cleaning up CSS and making the views a lot more presentable.

Tomorrow I need to finish my music stream by making it able to continuously play through your stream / playlist and then I wont add any new features and only focus on display.

Graduation Day!!!

I am done. I can't believe it, but I'm done! I did my final run of the C25K Training program! I am now officially at C25K Graduate!

I started out tonight knowing that it was my last run. I mean, how can I not know, right? But as I'm running, I just start getting in my groove, around the 5 minute mark, and I hear a car pulling up behind me. I glance behind me and make sure I move over to the side so they can get by. The driver is a lady and she pulls up beside me, rolls down her window and says, " I just want to say good job! Keep it up!" and then she drove off. I honestly cried. I almost had to stop running, I was such a mess.

Then, not five minutes later, a man drives by coming the other direction, and gives me a thumbs up. Then right behind him is another lady, and she does the same!!! Half a block from them, a gentleman is walking toward me and he says "You're doing great!"

Honestly, I truly believe God put them in my path to encourage me on my last day of C25K.

I completed the run, and am pleased to say that while my distance is just a little over 2 miles, my pace has picked up. I was just over 17 minutes/mile.

I've been asked a few times what my next step will be. Honesty, I still haven't run 3 miles, so that's my goal. My C25K app has a 30 minute run and a 45 minute run. I'm going to work on distance, and then I'll work on speed.

I still am amazed that I completed this plan. All I can say is.... Who IS this new girl!?!?

I know... I'm a runner. I am a TURTLE! :)
