state of my life address

  1. I have nearly gotten Composer working comfortably in the ABB project. Not yet on ABF. This allows PHP static code analyzer phan/phan to run and find all the classes using PSR-0(?) rules.
  2. phan/phan was still unable to find Codeception classes so I included Codeception with Composer, thereby “solving” 761 errors thrown by phan/phan.
  3. Having phan/phan look for errors has kinda rekindled my ability to work on AB. I enjoy this experience of having a huge TODO list where each item is clearly defined.
  4. As of this writing, I am down to 60 SEVERITY_CRITICAL errors, down from about 90, not counting the 760 due to phan/phan not finding Codeception classes.
  5. Nice.
  6. I recently drew / scribbled with marker a line on TJ Bike’s rain cover which allows me to more easily cover TJ Bike late at night when there isn’t enough light for me to see the seams sewn in the cover.
  7. Tonight my presentation class will be primarily covered by Japanese-fluent Eriko, but I will still get paid for the time. She is going to talk shop about L-R and all the myriad vowel sounds in English which do not exist in Japanese.
  8. I am on the second piece of tape which holds my bent computer closed. I first used the first piece of tape on November 21st 2019. This one has the date on the bottom of my computer and seems more likely to last longer. It started on 5 February 2020.
  9. So the first one lasted ~ 10 + 31 + 31 + 5 days = 77 days. That many days from February 5th is… 24 + 31 + 30 … late April I think.
  10. Lin and I live in Asao-ku in our first house we bought 3 years ago. We have Jennie the cat and no kids. Alex the plant’s progeny have been repotted in four square pots, all of which are inside right now because it’s supposed to freeze tomorrow or tonight.
  11. I started a newsletter on tinyletter. https://tinyletter.com/barefootrob Michael asked what was the point, and I don’t really know besides to follow the ups and downs of leading 24-make-that-36 workshops and “if I can do it you can do it”
  12. Soness has been helping me prepare for a speech I will give on 21 February at an event Riza invited me to.
  13. Arriving in Kawasaki in a few minutes to teach at SCC, Liliko and them.
  14. My website still ain’t cool yet, but all I gotta do is just make my own todo list and start doing it. Starting with posting the different things Erik wrote the a couple weeks ago. He keeps delaying “checking what I wrote” because he is busy. That is exactly why Menya said he hired peeps to do it instead of asking friends for handouts.
  15. Tomorrow I am scheduled to go to an EOS event, which I am still not sold on. I will be able to speak with some English speakers who are apparently sold on it to see if I can get some questions answered. I keep overlaying Amway on it but I don’t know if that accurately represents EOS.
  16. I’ve been telling people I am fifty. How weird to think omg that is old when I saw the “Lordy Lordy John is Forty” sign outside our neighbor’s house, and now I have blown through that number like meh.
