Oh shit! This is getting real! Kelsey and I just recorded founder intro videos and walkthrough content for our EventuallyTicketing.com product hunt launch in a few weeks.

I've always struggled with time tracking. I forget to start/stop timers, I'm bouncing between so many projects that it's impossible to properly do without breaking flow. So I created an automatic tracker based on which desktop I'm in using Hammerspoon. It's still earlier but I'm very excited.

Mac OS menu bar dropdown that lists multiple projects with the time associated with each.

First time back at my happy place since we were too pregnant to travel (June or so). The 4yo really wanted some hot chocolate after we did some chores around the yard.

Little guy is finally big enough to be in the carrier. Giving momma some rest while this little guy sleeps and I tackle some outstanding work needs.

Wouldn’t be a GK birth without a little F1 while we wait:

Birthday present from my 3.5yo. A lot going on in this Endgame scene. Some great minifigs!

Turning 41 tomorrow. Grilling with family. In my happy place. It hasn’t been easy. But we are incredibly fortunate. Here’s hoping for at least another 41 more.

Also just pushed a tiny update to susanssudoku.com that shows the difficulty for each game in your history (please ignore the design for now):

Achievement unlocked: finally trained the deer to escort our guests to our lob cabin when it’s snowy.

Whoa. That site is completely unusable on mobile:

The wife’s celebratory date night suggestion was Boeufhaus and did not disappoint.

Even when it’s cold and cloudy, this city isn’t so bad.

Added a history section to susanssudoku.com to show your previous times (but only if you’ve won at least 1 game). Will probably expand this into more statistics eventually. But next step is the daily reminder emails (the whole point of the site) and server storage/syncing between devices.

Added a little message to susanssudoku.com so that once you've completed the board, you know how long it took. Working on adding more stats/history.

Super basic. Tons to still add. But susanssudoku.com is technically functional. Each day has a new free sudoku to solve.

Mostly food that came highly recommended and all delivered. The sandwich shop especially. And of course gelato.
