<h2>Work</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Still in Toronto, still working in software at Amazon.
|
|
My team writes tools to help automate and test new machine setups.
|
|
Working on fixing up and expanding a tool that I wrote earlier in the year that didn't quite make it into production.
|
|
After the meeting showing the tool the team it was for had a couple more features they wanted added before it was deployed.
|
|
The configurations had changed before I got those done and some parts had to be redesigned/rebuild.
|
|
Making it more adaptable to keep this drift from happening in the future.
|
|
</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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Actually planning for the long term financially now that I am lucky enough to have a job that leaves me with money to save and invest after the bills are payed.
|
|
It still feels new to have that cushion and to plan long term, definitely enjoying it.
|

<h2>Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Got my blue belt just before the new year.
|
|
The team here at GB Toronto has become an external family.
|
|
I am so grateful for the community.

Competiton coming up on September 14th.
|
|
Not may of us from the school are going to compete but there are some members coming out to support.
|
|
Pulled back on training a bit after the last competition to make sure I had some balance in my life.
|
|
I want this training to be sustainable for the long term.
|
|
Just competing in Gi this time as opposed to both Gi and No-Gi.
|

<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.
|
|

|
|
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>
|
|
This website is the main thing that I have been working with.
|
|
Added a <a href="/uses">uses page</a> recently with just a list of the common things that I use every day.
|
|
Going to add links and other curated stuff next.
|
|
I love these pages on other personal websites and want to contribute to that.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I am looking at restructuring the site into more of a <a href="https://hapgood.us/2015/10/17/the-garden-and-the-stream-a-technopastoral/">garden than a stream.</a>
|
|
It is a structure that I find much more interesting and fits with how I want to build much more.
|
|
Treating most things as timeless and growing as opposed to a strict timeline.
|
|
It is how I keep most of my personal notes, dates more of as reference than things needing to be in order.
|
|
Will see how that works.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Set up my own code forge to be able to share my code without having to post it to github.
|
|
Can see it <a href="https://code.achubb.com">here</a>.

I dove hard down the custom keyboard rabbit hole this past week.
|
|
Going to be making a second one for myself to keep at work, and making one for each of my brothers.
|
|
Can (and have somewhat been) getting lost in the minutiae of layouts, switches, design.
|
|
It has been a lot of fun (and I apologise to my fiance for the constant clicking as I test out different switches).
