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.

Happy Birthday Momma!

Food tour was soo great! Gonna go find our own breakfast tour now :)

Got my first rchain blog published. https://blog.rchain.coop/start_coding_in_rholang/

Saying goodbye to the bear cave felt much more permanent this year. I guess it was. I had a great run at CTY

First flights with the Carbon Cub were successful.

I thought I used to eat like 16 or 18 wings for dinner. Twelve was all I took tonight.

Woah, my inbox just hit empty! Party time! It's been months.

I've officially registered for RCon3. It's happening!

Night is definitely the right time for me to get real work done.

Congratulations on graduating, Alina!

It's weird that going into work means doing the stuff I would have been doing anyway.

This was my DNR year. I've officially completed the CTY lifecycle.

Since I'm slacking off posting, maybe you'll like Julie's Europe blog

Second Session is really shaping up!

Actually played volleyball today. New session, new Joshy!

Awesome crossover class with Cryptography!

Using a web-based word processor is weird because the server kinda gets to see the way you think as you draft and revise.

Had an awesome weekend with Julie. She got the full CTY experience.

Starting to feel caught up on rchain stuff.

Thought if a great daily thought earlier. It was so good I knew I wouldn't forget it. But I did. Should have known!

Sharpie tattoos aren't as permanent as one might expect.

I wish floss came in clear cases so you could see it before buying.

Getting back in the flow of CTY. Setting good precedent by finding study time tonight.

It used to be many people to one computer device (They were called mainframes). Now it's many devices per person.

It's finally cty week! Can't wait to get there!

I'm actually considering switching web browsers for the first time since 2003.

Hilarious quote from the Code Prettify readme.

"Prettifying obfuscated code is like putting lipstick on a pig — i.e. outside the scope of this tool."

Finished the last programming assignment for Dan Boneh's Crypto 1 class. The end is near!

Movie Recommendation: The Circle

Getting some awesome illustrations for my upcoming rholang tutorial.

OMG, Microsoft is buying github. I don't think I have the energy to extract all my data again. Let's get this infrastructure on rchain fast.

The mustang is starting to look airworthy! Working ailerons will make it actually be airworthy.

Tired of my information security posts? Perhaps Barney Fife is more your style?

Check out the Confused Deputy Problem.

It's actually kind of amazing that phones aren't al reasonably waterproof. People know it rains like 20% of the time right?

A Picturebook of Secure Cooperation on authentication:

Ask not, “who are you?”, but rather, “are you allowed?”. This was always the crucial question anyway; by asking this better question, we get a better answer.

Had an awesome party weekend in Ohio.

Actually ran some rholang code today!
