Forcing a user who is on your website on their phone to download an app to continue is pretty terrible UX. The data you may get from the extra download is not worth making a user go through extra steps.

Taking a small break from school. About 3 days before the new term ends. Life is so busy, and I really need to take this time to somewhat recharge to really attack this next term!

Today is one of those days where I genuinely do not wish to speak to anyone. It's not depression or anything. I'm 100% an introvert and I've had a ton of interactions, both good and bad, with people the last few days. I'm drained.

I am 8 months into this journey and it's definitely taking a toll on me. Last night I came to the realization that I didn't even fill out a single bracket for march madness. I didn't even watch a game. It's my favorite sporting event every year and I couldn't take any time to enjoy it.

Back up at it, knocking out Discrete Math and attempting to get somewhat healthy.

When I am sick, my body does a great job of telling me to relax by completely shutting down. Also tends to happen whenever I've got a little too much on my plate.

The grind will be worth it one day.

2 more days in February and I'm so excited for these two days to fly by. Seriously, I don't like February.

This is the first time this winter that I've been truly knocked out. I don't even think it's a virus, I think I ate something bad at a Bob Evans this morning. Either way, kind of happy it's taken until the end of February to get something that slows me down.

If I visit your website, leave for a little bit, and then receive a marketing email from you WITHOUT giving you my email address, you can be sure that I will not purchase anything from your site.

I realized today that this month is February. February has been and will always be my worst month. This year is no different. (Surprisingly, my best month of the year is typically October)

I haven't seen an 1130pm bedtime for months (or years!) and I confidently do not recommend.

I really, really need to kick my butt into gear if I want to finish this degree by the end of the year. This course (Discrete Math) is taking me way too long and I'm finding way less time than I had prior.

I am very happy to see my 5yo want to be outside and continuously shoot basketball to get better. Him getting excited about practicing anything is neat! My body, however, after 3 hours of basketball...

Three days, an hour each day, 1 cut, and two instances of configuring it wrong, but we finally got our first basketball hoop!

No, google, when I add "PHP" to a search, I don't want a W3C article to be the first to show up. I want, you know, PHP's own website to be the first result.

When I do play wordle, my opening word is tired. So fitting.

We've had some super cold weather, even by winter standards, here in Ohio to start the year. Only the second time it's been warm enough to combine school studying with a treadmill walk in the garage.

I just encountered perhaps the worst correct definition of absolute value. |x| = -x for x <= 0. It is true, but yuck.

Just checked on Twitter for a bit. Wow what a cesspool.

I've uninstalled Twitter/X from my phone. Might be playing into the "us vs them" narrative that I dislike...but it is one way I can show disapproval of Elmo and the current administration.

I don't clear out my two main browsers enough. There's almost always 20-30 open tabs on each one, and I only close them out when I can't keep track of them anymore.

A horsefly just flew into my cup of coffee. Today is going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Maybe I'll move to Australia.

In life, hard work at the front end almost always pays off with interest in the back end.

My only New Year resolution this year is to get my BSCS. Happy New Year!

2024 seems just like yesterday. Amazing how time flies.

My kid dumped half of this set out this morning. Guess who got to build a 500 piece pokedex!

I remember wanting to fill up as many green squares as possible on Github a few years ago. This year, I'll only have two green squares.

Holidays are busy

Ok, whoever programmed wordle definitely put a check in it to see if any of that round's scores, as computed by the bot, were a 69. A "Nice." gets thrown in every single time.

Last night study sesh. Having something keeping me on some sort of exercise routine is nice.

Took a 4 day weekend, day 1. I'm always so stoked when I get to get on the treadmill and do schoolwork at the same time.

I don't want to do schoolwork tonight. I haven't wanted to do much of anything today or the last few days. It's been tiring. Bet your butt that I'm still going to do everything anyways. Consistency is key, even if you aren't quite feeling 100%.

2 classes at WGU down, 23 to go!

Nothing beats the feeling as an adult of crawling into your crawlspace to find dryness, insulation on every wall, light fixtures, and a vent! It's warmer in the crawlspace than it is inside of the house.

It's such a great feeling seeing something you envisioned working the way you envisioned it working! An hour and 20 minutes on the treadmill while working. My detached garages' internet strength is the same as what my bedroom had before implementing mesh.

Combining treadmill walking with course studies. Not the fastest pace but killing two birds with one stone is nice.

The struggles of trying to watch your local NFL team while being a cord cutter living in a rural area are real.

Since when did Youtube change the "Skip Ads" button to "Next Ad"?
