Finished reading The Art and Business of Online Writing by Nocolas Cole, which I liked, and started reading The PARA Method by Tiago Forte.

I posted How to Track Your Engineering Work as an article on Hacker News. This is a test to see if people like these types of posts over there.

Today I’m committing to writing new technical articles once a day, everyday. I’ll continue that for at least a month and maybe for 90-days.

Today I made a mess of a git repo and had to restore to a previous good commit. I don’t do this very often so I was unsure how to do it. I made a bit of a mess before finally getting things back in order. So, of course, I wrote a new article about Reverting to a Previous Git Commit.

I recently posted a comment on Hacker News about my simple command-line todo list. A few people asked about it so I decided to do a write up. I published that on the Maker Voyage site I’ve been working on and also posted a Show HN.

I’m not happy with the work I’ve produced over the past few weeks. I’m going to try something new.

I finally produced a very short how-to video for using AI. Focusing on something other than the problem I was stuck on helped me get through it.

I’ve been struggling to finish a short video on how to publish your own book. Written communication comes way more naturally to me.

Today I explored email sending tools. I want to send email and SMS so I think I’ve landed on Twilio Sendgrid. I added a short article to my site about Sending Email with Sendgrid after following their simple instructions for Curl.

This week I joined Barbara’s Club with a personal invitation from Patty Newbold. Patty is the President of Barbara Sher Online LLC and reached out when I recommended the book Refuse to Choose by Barbara Sher in a comment on Hacker News.

I posted my Quick Calories app on Hacker News. For some reason I was nervous about this today. I post on HN pretty regularly, I don’t know why this felt different. There’s a nagging fear that I could fail. But, I threw it out there and I think I’m ready for whatever happens.

I wrote a new article about Using Neat CSS on GitHub Pages and realized I had screwed up variable substitution on a previous article.

I finished the short audio book Permission Marketing by Seth Godin during a long drive this week. The book is relatively old but it was a good read and the main points have stood up relatively well.
