Life
Digging myself out of a bureaucratic hole and planning my adventure for October! Went to Caño Cristales for the weekend, which was very beautiful and not at all relaxing.
Work
Fixed blog (something important had uninstalled itself). Wrote a tiny bit of code and looked a bit more at code coverage. Also: signed contract for new job that I’m starting in November. Super excited!
The original is taken down, but the interview prep guide is now available on my GitHub.
Media
Finished Falling (didn’t really enjoy it). Reading Do Not Disturb, and Why Him, Why Her. Watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
Product links Amazon.
Published
A new edition of Technically Speaking is out.
Sent WTHIC letters from EOH and LMC.
Storify of live tweets from my Ruby Conf Colombia talk.
