Yesterday I did this LLDB thing to avoid an unnecessary breakpoint that occured on ‘SIGPIPE’. It works great but I keep seeing it updated by Xcode. I don’t need to track updates so I learned a new git trick: git update-index --assume-unchanged <file>.

I’ve had this problem in Xcode where it breaks on SIGPIPE when I disconnect from our WebSocket implementation. Today I learned about this lldb command: pro hand -p true -s false SIGPIPE. Xcode doesn’t load the .lldbinit file so I had to improvise. A shared symbolic break point on our socket connection method did the trick.

Tonight I finished my “@meetup crossover” by completing the second part of my two parter about cross platform development. Part 1 at CocoaHeads October discussed it with Xcode, part 2 was tonight at TriDroid discussed with Android Studio.

I voted today in Durham. It might have been one of the strangest ballots I’ve seen. There was only one decision to make, Raleigh mayor.

My son is learning to code. I challenged him to make a change to my blog. He submitted a pull request to delete a photo of himself. 😀

I love that there is a middle finger emoji 🖕 and that television networks sensor it when displayed. I guess if George Carlin were still alive, it would be “Seven Dirty Words and one emoji”.

I now have an iPhone X. I don’t think the notch is as annoying as I thought it would be, the screen is pretty amazing, and I don’t even miss the home button. Not sure yet on having the control center as a swipe down from the top of the screen.

Earlier this week I merged in some updates to my “internet weblog” theme for hugo, mostly to bring it up to the latest Hugo version. I also noticed it’s the only theme with the microblog tag so if you want to host your own microblog, check it out!

Had a great night celebrating Halloween at our neighbor’s cul-de-sac party. Both kids were there too which is rare for adult children!

I came across this aggregate of all 100-books-to-read-before-you-die lists. I’ve always wanted to read more so why wait? Starting tonight, I’ll be reading the first on the list: “The Great Gatsby”. I read it once in high school so it will be fun to read again.
