What I’m making
- Still working a little on the trading card idea but mostly spending my time, outside of family, on learning guitar. I picked up a Martin LX1RE (Little Martin ) and it's a blast. Decided to follow an actual course/class via Udemy instead of just learning how to play some songs and never progressing; which is where I bottomed out in high school. I've already learned so much more just on finger work and technique.
- Still rolling on DayZ at night with the crew.
- Previous: I've been making a TCG card collection app. I got a working prototype in commandline that allows for inputting rapidly for people that have cards unorganized which can then be exported/imported to something like Dreamborn.ink. I haven't used JS in five years, so I'm back to catching up on development to port it to a easy web gui and Apple app.
What I’m enjoying
- I haven't run anything meaningful in months. It's eating at me and I swear I'll get back to it.
- I've sold my airplane. It's also eating at me but it had to be done. I fly less these days and the longer it sits, the worse it will get. Luckily, planes appreciate and I was able to return more than I bought it for 7 year ago. Something to reinvest.
