Notes from my week.
- Finished up the build tools project
- Diagnosed and fixed my Python virtual machine. VirtualBox needed to be installed for some reason.
- Looking into an issue for Keith on the K-State Graduate School Forms project
- Worked on the Tallgrass Church website, designing the home page news and events block
- Wrote an actual blog post for the first time this year
- We took advantage of the nice weather in Kansas this week by getting the kids outside and taking them to the park
- Jermaine discovered sewage leaking out in our basement Thursday night, and later we found it coming up in our basement shower as well. The plumbers spent most of Friday afternoon trying to figure out our old pipes, eventually dislodging a huge blockage of toilet paper.
- Talked to Dave about HDMI capture cards, OBS, and Zoom for Tallgrass Church
- Drove around town looking at Christmas lights
- Bought a small freezer for our basement, because our main freezer is constantly packed pretty tight and we would like to have room to stock up on things

- Dave goes back to Mac — “While the Web is Universal, the tools are not.” I was a big Windows user for years until switching to Mac sometime around 2008. While doing some build tools testing in Windows last week, I realized that doing web development in Windows would be quite challenging with today’s development tools.
