Possible label
First attempt at mocking up a label for our little winery. Still some cleaning up and aligning to do but not bad for a few hours of work if I say so myself.
Woo hoo!
I get to do some actual development work! As in, build something from scratch! Using patterns and stuff. This happens so rarely in a primary support role that when it does it is cause for celebration.
This looks fun
For certain values of fun anyway. It’s like going back to school without the [cost|credit] but with a commitment to learn stuff. Seriously thinking of trying to backfill some of my core CS deficiencies as I didn’t do a whole lot of serious CS work in the MIS program. Of interest are:
- Design and Analysis of Algorithms I
- Software Engineering for Software as a Service
- Cryptography
- Probabilistic Graphical Models
- Machine Learning
- Natural Language Processing
From this list I think I could reasonably expect to pick one and follow through with an effort that I would feel comfortable expending. Anyone want to take one with me?
Sleepytime
The burbling through the airlock has slowed considerably. I think the yeast is running out of snackers. We should be right on schedule to rack this run some time this weekend.
This brings us to a task I’ve been punting for a while now. Somehow we need to scavenge, scrounge, or rustle up about three dozen 750ml wine bottles in the next two weeks. You have any we can use? Quite likely some percentage of your empties will be returned to you in a much less empty state…just in time for the holidays.
Wunderhund!
Lilly can MOVE!
Coffee, the good stuff
It just ain’t right unless it leaves smudges at the bottom of the mug.
I’ve been here
This is a horrible place to find one’s self. There are many times this happens in my life.
Two things
- The phrase “Smoke test” makes me wince, especially when voiced by a particular person
- I am being paid back for missing two days earlier this week. I’m all Elvis, all TCB today.
Burble
I could (and probably will before this is all over with) watch the CO2 burble out of the airlock on the fermenter for hours. I think we’re well on our way to some glorious Riesling.
The dining room smells like one hell of a party too.
