    Try building something that you expect to be within your capability, but you don't have a set of instructions for. Some people build web crawlers or something like that. I'll often make an engineering calculator more closely related to my day job or something similar that I can check with Excel...

    Are you as fit as Mark Zuckerburg? (Probably not)

    Wanted a good judge of where I'm at currently. Ran 1.6 miles continuosly then stopped to walk and then ran another .4 miles. Not zuck territory. When I finished my watch beeped in a mocking tone.

    I worked on something like that for a bit many years back and was limited by publicly available data. Then, I found out some companies had access to this data, for a price, and I was a bit weirded out about the ethics of the whole thing because of what it involved.

    Negative. I did some boxing and some shooting but I have never done anything like BJJ.

    Had to look it up. I was on a running streak for a while but got an injury after this and haven't gone as hard. Need to add mileage without hurting myself as it interferes with my main sport. This was last November but I can't do that now. Worthy challenge. Sub 20min 5k is pretty difficult if...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    Replicated a pretty simple layout of a site from example, without having to look up any additional code. Got a lot more done working through some books than I expected this weekend. I think I've cruised through about 300 pages of material (lots of images, and this is re-learning for me so I skip...

Relearning a little bit more about responsive layouts then planning on recreating a website that someone I know made with a codeless tool and she uses for getting gigs. Wrote down...

    I was doing some work on a website in a coffee shop one time and a lady started talking to me. Mentioned her and her husband were looking for some business help. We ended up meeting at another coffee shop where they tried pitching me something similar and said something like "don't worry it's...

    That's really cool! The waters out there can be really wild as well. One of those islands up off the Western Sahara, further up on that map, is Tenerife, which is a huge destination for my favorite sport. I should get on things so that I'm able to go there myself: View...

    I needed that mental time off as well. Too many disappointments and failures were adding up and I think my own self-criticism was limiting my ability to do much else. I'm feeling a lot more refreshed after taking that pressure off.

Have plans to revisit sales lessons to help reach out to potential customers as well as make portfolio pages.

    Some thoughts about where I am vs. the original ask by Andy: I have "made" sales before, but it's been a while and it's been tightly related to my day job (engineering). Examples: Was tasks to do preliminary redesign of a large component. Was the only person doing work, with a light touch of...

    Haven't been on here that much recently and I feel a bit embarrassed to say it but I need to. A lot of the reason is I haven't been pursuing a Fastlane goal. That needs to change. Positive things that I've done in the meantime: Have a good paying remote job (but I feel the worry of being too...

    Thought I'd share my sports obsession here. I've been obsessed with windsurfing as much as possible, and that also includes using a hydrofoil underneath the board on certain days. That helps when the wind is light, as with the wings under water, you can force the board to a certain speed by...

    I've had two relatives fall recently. Both broke their lower legs. They aren't in the best of health but it has made life a bit difficult for them. Thankfully, one is now mostly recovered while the other needs rehab.

    Yes. I used to do it 2-3 times a week. It's a lot of fun. Be very careful on advancing past a certain stage. I have some finger injuries fron probably doing things wrong but also just the stresses involved that still bother me.

    We went inland and north when it was supposed to hit Tampa. It really looked like it was going to smash St. Pete earlier in the week but where we were, we got lucky. Didn't even lose power, nor did my place in Tampa.

    Yes it was much worse the first time I got it. Wasn't anywhere near as bad the second time. The first time I could barely sleep and had massive fatigue.
