In writing some guidelines to how we use JIRA at Highrise, I wrote “It’s more about why we are creating this feature and less about being just a todo list”. We have too many tasks that are “Design This”, ”Build Thing”, and none that carry the idea that this is for a person from idea through design and developlement.

My wife has been learning R and working on RStudio. Today she started a new blog using Hugo and Netlify. There is a plugin called blogdown for RStudio which makes this pretty easy to setup and handles running the R code and attaching any output to the post.

I organize my development directory pretty well between work and side projects. Each of those directories usually has a _playground and _tools directory for testing things or common tools. Today I noticed my _playground directory is >8gb. That's a lot of sand.

Wow, Forestry.io is pretty cool as a front-end to a static blog. It even reads in Hugo and Jekyll site params. All they need is a Micropub endpoint!

I watched Altered Carbon last night on Netflix. It was a pretty good sci fi series with an interesting world and some amazing visuals. I really enjoyed it and might have to read the book. 📺
