[#100DaysOfCode] Day 54 Today was amazing. QA or the Highway Conference - up at 5 am and just getting home and ready for some Coffee Chats. I got to meet and reconnect with some amazing people, hear some stunning talks, and present all in the same day. www.qaorthehwy.com/bob-fornal/g...

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 52 Today was about planning. And, Coffee Chats. So many Coffee Chats! I've got talks to prepare, code to write, presentations to give, events to plan, tests to prepare for, and more. Today was about getting ready for all that's to come! #HamRadio #AmateurRadio

[#100DaysOfCode] Days 49, 50, 51 Busy - I've been working on: work, presentations, the #HamRadio site (ka8bob.com), and recovering my old wedding website. The heat is getting to me a bit; I'm tired and have a headache.

[#100DaysOfCode] Days 47 & 48 "Your code is amazing and gave me some ideas for my code." What an amazing thing to hear after I gave my second talk of the day at @sceniccitysummit.com. I had a fun Coffee Chat with Ben McCarthy. I talked to people interested in #HamRadio #AmateurRadio: ka8bob.com

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 46 Today, I spent time at the conference. I also worked on ka8bob.com, adding documentation on my learning process (I seem to be recommending things to others quite frequently). I'm also getting ready for my talks tomorrow. Busy day!!!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 45 (bit of a break) I'm back at it (never stopped). The last few weeks have been conference prep. I am also doing a bit of COBOL and a lot of #HamRadio prep for my General License. Yes, I'm in Tennessee for @sceniccitysummit.com (2 talks).

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 44 Twenty-First Anniversary to Jennifer Fornal today. Also, watched as sites failed due to a Cloudflare outage. This highlights a resilience needed. On the lighter side, I got to get SOMETHING done with ka8bob.com (my new site for all things #HamRadio #AmateurRadio)!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 43 I got my vanity license the other day. I spend some time today poking at a website to showcase my #HamRadio learnings. Nothing exciting yet ... coming soon!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 42 I almost didn't post today, but a good friend gave me solid feedback on job-squid.com, and it felt good. I got a hackathon date blocked on the calendar and the next ColumbusJS Meetup on the calendar. BUSY!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 40 I'm digging into the <datalist> HTML tag today and various implementations. I "just" got back from AWS Midwest Community Day. It was a truly amazing event - I met some awesome people. Rode with Angelo Mandato and finally met Lwin Maung in person. Many cool memories!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 39 What have I worked on? Not much. This is one of my toughest months: family (six directions), conferences (helping three), meetups, Coffee Chats, & career. All of this has consolidated down into one marathon month; planning and organization. Wish me luck!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 38 CodeMash Conference planning today. These are long, but productive days. I enjoy the in-person planning. Now, I've got two chats tonight and "maybe" a bit of conference talk coding! codemash.org [#BuildInPublic]

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 37 BLAH: I fought the production bug and won. I wasn't so sure yesterday. I also got a few slides in place for the Gherkin talk. I get to be involved in the @codemash.bsky.social Conference planning tomorrow; excitement!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 36 Ghosted twice today (that's rare). I has some inquiries about helping with job-squid.com (and I ordered an obnoxious orange sweatshirt related for conferences). I also got to work on my Gherkin talk ...

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 35 I've documented more of the new tracking features for job-squid.com - I've also kept up on the #HamRadio General Class studies. Code-wise, I took yesterday off to be with family, but am working on a few talks today!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 34 I got selected for two talks for TechBash Foundation (now, I need to write another completely new talk). I'm finalizing the notes for my Cloudflare talk - now, onto the next one!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 33 I put in some serious time on the Cloudflare Talk that Lwin Maung and I are putting together. I had a wonderful talk yesterday about one of the future features for job-squid.com - ideas were flying. I also studied more for my #HamRadio General License.

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 32 I had some amazing ideas for job-squid.com functionality (online storage, optional). I'm bringing one of my first Cloudflare Worker Scripts to life as a part of my demo. It's BROKEN at the moment; I'll get it there. I need to study more for the General License. #HamRadio

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 31 I've been working steady on learning about Ham Radio and preparing for the General License. I started work on my Cloudflare talk. The demo didn't work well on my phone; minor CSS adjustments and we're moving forward again! job-squid.com is still in my mind. #HamRadio

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 30 Took a few days to get my head straight. Passed the Ham Radio Technician's Exam, too. Today, I worked on Auth and Database stuff for job-squid.com (no, I'm not moving the data online - not by default).

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 28 Today, I was breaking things (usual for me) with my code. In particular, I was looking to identify the speed of Cloudflare Worker Scripts and access times to Key Vaults and D1 Databases. This is a usual pattern to me; looking to learn more of the internals with experiments!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 27 * I got work done on a critical feature (client). I'm not sure why it broke, but it's fixed. * I got the Cloudflare Talk slide deck started! Cleaning up the repository for the demo code. * Thoughts on job-squid.com ... feature improvements.

[#100DaysOfCode] Days 25 & 26 The code is working (HTML, JavaScript, and Cloudflare) for the Cloudflare talk. I've got a few smaller tasks, such as writing the actual talk to go with the demo code. I'll be back at job-squid.com functionality again soon.

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 24 I didn't do anything complex today, with it being Mother's Day. I got a visual indicator that the refresh button was clicked. It was feeling a bit sterile.

[#100DaysOfCode] Days 22 & 23 * I worked on integrating a QR code for the Cloudflare demo code. It looks good. * I've had some interesting thoughts about the job-squid.com code. * Managed to NOT deploy on Friday for work!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 21 I worked on the API endpoint to save redirect data to the Key Vault in Cloudflare. It's not pretty code I'm aiming for; it's functional and readable. I haven't forgotten job-squid.com - in fact, I've been stewing on how to implement the next feature ...

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 9 It's Friday. I was busy. I got the basics of an application I'm considering for a talk I'm giving for Columbus Code & Coffee in a few months. It doesn't look like much, but I'm trying to use the technology available to create an interactive presentation.
