:work -> Setting up a Linux cluster with HAProxy for load balancing with auto failover. Already have it automated using Ansible, finally have the servers.
:home -> Hopefully getting back on the learning Elixir train, been hard to concentrate lately. My schedule hasn’t mixed well with a 10 month old, I refuse to miss out on his life. Looks like I need to play late at night.

$work: We are closing due to an alleged software patent infringement and we do not have the capital for defense. That’s what you get for challenging the big boys…really a low blow.
$home: Updating my resume and looking for a remote gig. Working on a side project to refresh my programming skills as I was in a management / make this damn thing faster role for the last year. My son is getting so big, its amazing how fast they grow.

I will hopefully be finishing Programming Phoenix and starting a project to combine my love for technology and automotive modification. Hard to get time with a 4 month old and long hours at the day job. Trying to figure out a schedule that works.
-
I will continue to read Programming Elixir, however free time is hard to come by lately. Also my wife and I are awaiting our first child, any day now :)

Congratulations! Our daughter was born five months ago. It’s great, but all my plans to get loads of work done in the down time turned out for naught. Don’t commit anything to production the first few weeks, is all I’m saying.

Reading Programming Elixir, looking forward to jumping into functional programming finally.

I am reading Ready Player One and just finished Ansible Configuration Management - Second Edition.
-
@work: I plan on automating some of the tedious ops tasks at work using Ansible. Then I will jump to setting up a receiver for a github webhook that automatically builds and deploys our api docs.
@home: Still preparing the house for any buyers to walk through. I need to setup the Ansible scripts for the servers that will power my fun side project. I would have used Heroku but I find paying monthly for SSL to be a joke.
-
@home: Working with Flask/Restless to start the API layer for one of the side projects I have in my head. Also I have been using Headspace for meditation, I have been enjoying it so far!
@work: I am setting up a new developers laptop so when they come in they can get right to work. Very little effort as all I do is run an Ansible script, but I would still like to get as much out of their way as possible. Other than that just the normal 9-5 tasks, nothing exotic this week.

self.work: Squashing the last bugs from releasing version 2 of our product. It was a complete rewrite, but launched with no major issues. Then playing the PM role and defining requirements for the next round of features.
self.home: Getting back into working out, last few weeks have been a disappointment health wise. Hopefully working on my ember/django side project that I have been ignoring for a long period of time. Seeing projects launch that are similar but lack the killer features I have planned (in my mind) motivate and discourage me.
I wonder if this is the release where they ditch Unity and go back to Gnome? Wish they’d picked KDE. Way better accessibility story.
Gnome makes it’s return in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Well Unity is a Gnome shell so I’m not sure KDE was ever even on the table.
However, given that Ubuntu Unity is simply being replaced with the existing Ubuntu Gnome I guess they could easily have gone with Kubuntu instead.
