I planted a tree yesterday! But I think it's dead today. Leaves got eaten. Have to try again.

My second ear is also infected :(

Writing a runtime is a lot like writing an operating system for the blockchain.

I hate it when the parts store has 3 spark plugs, but the engine needs 4.

Ouchy, I ruptured my eardrum. Pretty scary, but getting better now.

Come join us at [Substrate Collaborative Learning](https://www.reddit.com/r/substrate/comments/bukfoc/substrate_collaborat…) This Monday at noon.

Decided to sell the nighthawk that I rode back from Alaska.

Thanks for the awesome bachelor party everyone!!

My sub0 talk about a UTXO-style pi-calc blockchain design is recorded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYKxdb0YcXs (10 min)

Last full day in Berlin. Can't wait to come back.

I really need to learn how to spell "primitives". It isn't like primate. Too many compiler errors each day for `runtime_primatives`.

Happy Birthday Sarah! And happy Mother's day Mom!

Solved my first AOC problem in rust today!

When does summer start in Berlin? t's cold here.

Made it back to Boulder Klub today!

Ran to the gym, then lifted. Hope I keep that routine up.

Forgotten semicolons have always been a pain, but at least most compilers can identify them pretty easily. No such luck with rustc.

May Day wasn't nearly at rioty as I heard it might be. Just a fun street festival.

Had my first official day as a Parity employee. So far so good.

Awesome wedding weekend everyone! Congrats Beth and Saint! Fun family time too!

Hope sub0 is as fun and exciting as RCon2 was last April.

Thanks for helping me get prepared for the Berlin trip, fiance.

Starting full-time work at Parity at the end of this month!

Opened the 2019 racing season with 21:30. That's ahead of where I closed out last thanksgiving.

Learning functional programming made me a way better programmer. But it also made me hate mutability.

Pierogis. Yummy.

Just did 10 pullups for the first time since I was a teenager.

First Fire in the Coxe family fireplace in a few seasons. Glad to be part of it.

Finally digging in on rust.

Made it all the way into Jersey without needing a roadside nap, but couldn't quite make it all the way to Julie's.

The big limb that fell two months ago in the ice storm finally unfroze from the mountain today. Free fire!

Yay! Windows Hello has a good privacy modeI

you can rest assured that the info that identifies your face, iris, or fingerprint never leaves your device. Windows never stores pictures or images of your face, iris, or fingerprint on your device or anywhere else.

I'm officially out of sticks.

Did 151 pullup-style today.

I'm thinking of a ton of uses for the pullup bar.

Huh, turns out TSA closes at 10:00 in Cleveland. Not a great experience for customers with late night flights.

Julie said yes 💍

So many wasted minutes looking for videos of baseball fights. All the good fights are in hockey.

First real flying of 2019!

Typing this from my new ms surface. Kinda miss the keyboard.

Finally walked on frozen lake surface!

The lake is freezing!

Christmas decs are down. Just a few more cold months until spring.

Just re-read the bitcoin whitepaper. Maybe I'll make it an annual thing. I was surprised to realize it never uses the word "blockchain" (or phrase "block chain"). Anyway, it's a really nice not-that-technical read weighing in at only 8 pages.

Finally Getting new running shoes today!

I finally wrote my first self-reproducing program (aka quine) https://github.com/JoshOrndorff/TrustingTrust/

Bye Julie 👋

Just discovered that Shape Shift now requires government ID verification. And Changelly no longer supports Monero. The war against financial privacy is on.

I've finally seen Mary Poppins.

Awesome birthday surprise this year.

Sometimes I write stuff on my todo list and later forget what it meant. It currently says "beer necklace odometer". WTF was that supposed to mean?

I'm famous in Korea (kinda) https://blockdaily.com/2018/12/19/4336/

As more governments try to cobble together regulations around decentralized technologies, let me remind you that regulations are only as "real" as their ability to be enforced. Cryptography has your back here. There's never been a better time for run-of-the-mill libertarians to understand GPG, TLS, Tor, zk-SNARKs.

Made it back from Korea. Now to get back on a schedule.

Rounded out the rholang workshop with 151! https://youtu.be/CRRUFmo0NKc

Made it to Seoul. Heading out to the country today.

Yay, I solved AOC day 5 before going to sleep!

Today I learned: Javascript doesn't have tuples.

Solved the first advent of code 2018 problem. First time I've ever solved one in haskell. In the morning I'll give it a go in rholang.

Back in the flow of a work week after break.

Had two very happy thanksgivings this year. Lots to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgivings!

Crypto market is a blood bath. XRP up to number 2 spot. This is the first time I've felt like a real hodler. (and user to the extent practical)

In the middle of a dist-upgrade. Could get shiny new features, or an unbootable system. Hard to tell. A programmer's roulette wheel.

Pretty excited about my idea for secure secret exchange. I call it encrypsulation.

Shower drain is finally unclogged! Hooray!

Had a fun weekend with Julie's and my parents.

Circuit Workouts are killing me. I hope I'm getting in shape!

Did some fun coding today! Looking forward to getting back into bitstory.

Man, it's really hitting the fan at the coop. I really hope that the good ideas live through the bad business decisions and ensuing distrust. I'll do my best anyway.

That liberating feeling of crossing something off your todo list because the deadline is long since past and you finally admit that you're just never gonna get to it.

Today could be the last day that RHOC is in the top 100.

Didn't check my email until 4:00 today. Haven't gotten so much done in a long time.

Had my first workout with my trainer today. Hamstrings are soooo sore.

Food poisoning is the worst. Sooooo much puking.

Having a great time at San Francisco Blockchain Week!

Getting excited about blockchain week.

Happy birthday Lillian and Rayrod!

Spectrum cable requires customers to agree to a privacy policy before using their service. But they do not allow users to read said privacy policy before agreeing. Oh well, we all know those documents don't mean anything anyway.

Just funded my first gitcoin bounty. Hope someone takes it. https://gitcoin.co/issue/JoshOrndorff/BitStory/1/1298

#RookieMistake in rholang

Got the keys to my new place today.

Gonna dig into mint and purse based tokens today. http://www.erights.org/elib/capability/ode/ode-capabilities.html

Got two free innings at the Indians game with Dad.

So if you factor that in with the first nine, which were also free, it comes out to a pretty good night.

Turns out my typing habits make it hard for me to type the word compound. It always comes out as compund because I use my ring finger for both p and o.

South Jersey Shootout is an awesome meet. Glad I got to see the team.

My check engine light is off for the first time in years!!

Spent a lot of time learning graphvis today. It's finally starting to pay off.

Wow, it suddenly feels like fall is here. I guess I better get to a cross-country meet.

RCon3 was an exciting tiring super fun whirlwind. Time to recover for a day and then get back to work.

RCon3 is in full swing. Confident we can get a testnet working today

Had my first ever schnitzel today. And home-made no less. Delicious!

Starting my first of four legs to Berlin. Hope it all works out.

Going to see Julie's beach house before RCon3.

Programming lesson #1: pattern matching is not the same as switch case.

Can't stop thinking about Dapps.

I'm spending sooooo much time with the RNode software.

Making some real good progress writing rholang docs today! Especially with Julie's illustrations.

Mailvelope extension looks cool! PGP for webmail!
