@joeton_engineer @kinesisergo I was directed to a /checkout/order-received url that errored out. I can see the charge on my credit card statement, and just refreshed the /checkout/order-received tab and can see a confirmation page. Just checked and got an email 3 minutes ago.

Watching https://t.co/8k9nqqUw6m and @garybernhardt's clicky keyboard is making me want to whip out my Das keyboard with Cherry MX blues but I am too used to the spit layout on my Kinesis Advantage2 with Cherry MX browns🤷‍♂️

Must resist the urge to buy a new keyboard 😬

Better books than mine have failed to find an audience, through no fault of their writing." - Brandon Sanderson

[Ben Stephens @BenjaStephens]

The following quote in Mistborn's prologue stuck out to me because it is applicable to startups as well. In both writing and running a business, executing well is a big component but so is luck. Sometimes you can do all the right things and still fail.

[Ben Stephens @BenjaStephens]

I am well aware that much of a writer's success or failure depends on things completely outside his or her control. Word of mouth, fortuitous shelf placement in bookstores, striking at the right moment with something that resonates in just the right way.

Made https://t.co/74e0uI4JL8 to practice Elixir/Phoenix after not using it for a while and to try out LiveView! It was fun to learn how to test LiveView and to play around with Mox for mocking API calls.

Next up is to play around with Golang.

@davbeck I have seen some people tweeting about https://t.co/C8GyLRgh8b but I haven't tried it. Maybe that will help?

@srankin @davbeck @HiltonHotels I'm still in Seattle. Ex-ACS (and current ACS) Reunion would be fun!

@johnduff I have read all the Expanse books and really like them! I am currently reading through the Wheel of Time series. Lots of characters and a big world. It might be my favorite series I have ever read, and I am only on book 4 of 14.

@danielazuma Just watched the talk. Great job!

@Swedish I have called Birth Records at First Hill and left multiple voicemails. No response in 24+ hours. How long does it usually take?

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.

Thief broke into office, stole my headphones, but discarded them after filling up on nice Bose ones.

Moral of the story: buy cheap crap 👌
