<h2>Work</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Preparing for the spike of traffic over peak.
|
|
Struggling with personal moral issues with the company as a whole (everyone I work with is great).
|
|
Putting some last touches on a project that I have been working on for a while, hoping to get it out this week.
|
|
</p>

<h2>Life</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I am engaged and living with the most wonderful woman I have ever met.
|
|
We have booked a venue and a date!!
|
|
So excited and frees us up to start booking a lot of other stuff.
|
|
Found a wonderful venue that incorporates a lot of nature and is comfortably in our budget.
|
|
Spent every moment outside of work for a week putting together our wedding website, and setting it up for people to RSVP and organize all the data.
|
|
Was so much fun to use my skills to build something for the wedding and makes me feel really connected to the process.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Working to find the path that feels right for me career wise.
|
|
Exploring various options and starting to look for places that align personally with my values.
|
|

<h2>Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The team here at GB Toronto has become an external family.
|
|
I am so grateful for the community.

|
|
Lost at the recent competition to a flying arm bar.
|
|
Was pretty cool if I do say so myself.
|
|
Pulled back on training a bit to balance various activities in life a little better.
|
|
Looking forward to a more relaxed winter season without needing to prep for any competitions.
|
|

|
<h2>Learning</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I am working to learn japanese and portuguese on Duolingo.
|
|
I love the program and it is 100% worth paying for, but the fact that even when paying it keeps asking for ratings, putting widgets on my home screen, or turning on notifications bothers me.
|
|
You already have my money now please don't bother me.
|
|
Finding the lessons really helpful.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Had not realized how much the anki flash cards that I have been making alongside the course were until I got out of sync.
|
|
Did make the time to make new cards for a few weeks and was wondering why I was having such a hard time remembering the new japanese words.
|
|
I didn't have flashcards for them.
|
|
So updated them all today and am now back on track.
|

<h2>Tinkering</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The last week has been spent entirely on the wedding website.
|
|
Would link here but we have it shut down for guest access only because it contains a lot of personal information.
|
|
It was the first time that I have done any web development work with cookies or authentication systems.
|
|
That was really cool to figure out and implement.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I like that I got to build it myself and have it customized slightly for each guest with a personal message and using proper names instead of general "you" etc.
|
|
Also set up a database to store all the various RSVPs, seating arrangements, and menu choices once we get to that point.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It was the first time that I gave myself a personal project and a short deadline (a week essentially) and hammered it out around work.
|
|
Really pleased with that level of depth and focus, very excited to try and keep that momentum going working on other stuff.
|
|
Some extra things to add to this site, and some other things I have been thinking about.
