tags: family mongodb work docker chef modeling emoji

personal

• Friday grill out: featuring steak
• Saturday: gloriously lazy day, project time
• Sunday: beers and badminton
• oddly successful: a big piece of foil left over in my grill seems to be keeping the birds from trying to build more nests
• yard work was cancelled on account of laziness (and not enough rain)
• donating blood today for the first time (should be interesting)

projects

• got my new SSD
  • tried to use Disk Utility to clone the disk but it didn't go as nicely as I'd hoped
  • ended up using the trial of Carbon Copy Cloner to clone to my new SSD
  • LOVE MY NEW SSD
• mongodb-workbench (aka mw)
  • most things are working now
  • going through TODOs and prioritizing for a release
    • only the highest priority items will happen before the release
    • other items will become issues on github (with checkboxes for progress, probably)
• work:
  • docker -- still awesome... gotta love containers
  • chef -- still more painful that I'd like (their docs need work, not a big fan of Ruby really)
  • building a new event modeling language loosely based on MP2
• emoji fun
  • might start making commits in emoji
    • maybe only emoji, just to mess with people
