I’ve been flying under the radar for the last couple of weeks due to circumstances beyond my control. Now that everything is settling back to normal, I can follow my usual plan and get a few things back on track.

I spent the better part of a day preparing a section of the garden for the new greenhouse. Now, I’m reaping the benefits of a hard day’s work by chilling on the couch with a rum, watching golf, and doing some Rails coding on my MacBook.

Hats off to DNSimple’s contact form for support. It includes a dropdown of accounts you are logged into. Being able to select an account makes contacting them much easier and narrows down the location of the reported issue. This is a simple but effective way to improve customer feedback.

My initial experience with Kamal hasn’t been great. At the start of the year, I spent a few days at best with it, but I kept running into issues, which eventually got forgotten. I’m restarting again with Kamal, as I feel it could be of real benefit in hosting my own apps.

I missed some glorious golfing weather over the weekend as I finished painting the hall. With that done, all our major home decorating plans are complete, and I can enjoy the outdoors and golf until around October.

Picked up a couple more of these notebooks from Atoms to Astronauts.

Good quality paper and the covers are superb. Picked up the astronomy and geology notebooks this time.

They’re catching on in the Lang household as my youngest asked for a couple as well.

Two science-themed notebooks, one featuring a geological design and the other with planetary orbits, are titled "Atoms to Astronauts Science Notebooks."
