[#100DaysOfCode] Day 62
Today, I focused on completing the demo portion of the "Ditch Your JavaScript For CSS!" talk. It's a work in progress!!!

Antenna Knowledge: Possible Yagis There are three antennas that have been on the roof of the house we live in. All three have a central loop like the central one shown here. Each has a reflector, a driven element, and a director. T...

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 61
Today, I dug into my talk and created a demo page since there will be a need to show the code variations. Additionally, I've posted a question on the #AmateurRadio #StackExchange about some antennas on my roof. I'll post the link for those into #HamRadio!

I've had a lack of interest in writing code recently. I'm back at it - fingers on keys. I spent some time today working on a future talk! I also updated my personal #HamRadio website.

Today, I worked hard on my next conference talk. Yesterday, I passed my #HamRadio General Exam. I skipped posting for a few days; back at it!

I worked on my father's website. He's K3ATW (#HamRadio) and has been for quite a while. Creating this site and hooking up the email was so much fun!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 55
I've been (almost frantically) working on things for ColumbusJS. There's a lot of planning and work to be done to make all of this happen: meetup events, website, emails, social media, coordinating speakers, and more ... now, to find time.

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.

[#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!

[#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!!!

Washing the horses across the street from the hotel.

[#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).

Wonderful resources. I’ll add them to my list of tools!

I keep looking at Morse Code. I struggled with it as a kid and really need to get past that fear - learning and growing is the way to go.

[#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!

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!

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!

Gherkin slides

[#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!

Gherkin: The Pitfalls and Promise of Gherkin in Automated Testing

[#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 ...
