- My #gleamlang re-write is functionally complete. I have a few more tests to complete and then it will be beta time!
- I have a Dockerfile and want a managed postgresql and "app platform" connected to GitHub. Who is winning this battle today?
- Feeling like a powerful drumming warrior 😂
- Just made a step in improving my security practices. Next step, look for more opportunities.
- This may be my best one so far.
- Tomorrow after physical therapy and drum practice I'm going to start richardhammack.github.io/BookOfProof/ on stream. Math will be done on my remarkable on screen.
- Just did: 1 and 3 kick, 2 and 4 snare, 1/4s on high-hat kick, 1/8s on high hat **and** crash on 1. All while counting 1 2 3 4. This is probably the bare minimum expected of a drummer but is a big progression for me!
- My wife bought a peloton awhile back. It is effectively worth nothing now. My dinosaur timer is more valuable.
- Drum coach: try this thing Me: fails miserably 20 mins later, no drum coach Me: does it fine
- I think I’ve always misunderstood the term “strongly typed”. Erlang is strongly typed, C is not.
- Sat down with Algebra: Chapter 0 to evaluate if I could even complete it. The short answer: no. New option is probably Book of Proof.
- Inspired by @whitep4nth3r.com here is part of my practice today. I’m about 3 weeks in, don’t judge me.
- Making a ton of drums progress. Super close to consistent 60 bpm 8th notes with Moeller technique. I can memorize a measure within my “voice” and replay it somewhat consistently (simple ones and slowly). Counting while doing this is hard but working on tricks. Practice. Practice. Practice.
- Starting up the stream, dealing with Slack slash commands. twitch.tv/chiroptical #gleamlang

- Picked up a kick drum pedal/pad for practice. I now have a three piece practice kit! Practice, practice, practice.
- Stream is up, working on #gleamlang twitch.tv/chiroptical
- One week in and drumming feeling a lot more natural. I can stay relaxed, count, and do the exercises fluidly with minimal goof ups (excluding perfect timing).
- Slack interacts commands are nearly done. Very close to being able to do the actual fun part of this project 🙃 Vod if you are curious www.twitch.tv/videos/26689...
- Starting up the stream on twitch.tv/chiroptical working on more #gleamlang

- If I had a dollar for every time I asked a question in a digital space and then immediately realized what was wrong. I’d have more money than I have now.
- Policy idea: no tax on income towards day care expenses
- Another stream starting up, working through OAuth stuff for Slack in #gleamlang twitch.tv/chiroptical
- I’ll start stream tomorrow around 9 am ET. Adding server side rendered Lustre to my #gleamlang project. See you then!
- First drum lesson was on Wednesday. It was awesome. Starting with three limb coordination, timing, and technique exercises.

- TIL, this is legal #erlang compiles to `t() -> [f, o, o].`
- Question: is AtomVM both an Erlang Virtual Machine and an Erlang Runtime System? #erlang
- What are your best post-rock recommendations?
- First sabbatical stream! www.twitch.tv/videos/26626... finished up my initial Slack API calls, fixed a jacked postgresql installation on my machine, and did some database schema updates. All in #gleamlang. No stream tomorrow, but I'll be back on Thursday!
- Making progress on this foaming milk and pouring it into a cup thing

- I’m officially on sabbatical! I’ll be streaming some #gleamlang and #erlang starting next week!
- TIL that you can have lightning during intense snow storms. I thought I was going nuts but then it happened a few more times.
- Discovered @waterfox.net, are there other upcoming projects I should know about?
