Basement: The basement remodeling / office project is done, and I’ve moved back in. To celebrate and finish the office, I got a Commodore 64 Ultimate, and I’ve been having too much fun with it.
Reading: I subscribed to the New Yorker again recently, and I’m making an effort to keep up. So, that’s what I’m reading!
Writing and books: My new book, A Developer’s Guide to Integrating AI into Applications, is out now! It’s available wherever books are sold. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1394373139
I’ve started working on the 3rd Edition of Coding All-In-One For Dummies, and I’ll be working on that every spare minute I have until June.
The Farm: We’re working on getting the zoning changed so we (or a future buyer) will be able to build a house on it. It’s a really expensive and involved process! The farm is looking really pretty this time of year, and I wish we could spend more time out there…but, it’s also code and wet, and our house is dry and warm.
Teaching: I’ve been getting a lot of requests lately, so I finally made a public calendar where you can see my availability and schedule a meeting. Here’s the link: https://www.watzthis.com/training-availability/.
Chess: Slow progress continues, but sometimes I surprise myself.
