Fresh from the oven

I worked at home today. Sometimes the hustle and bustle of the office can make coding tricky. Coders do best when they are uniterrupted and can get ‘in the groove’ or acheive flow. Any interruption and BAM, the concentration is gone, and all the abstract details being held in short-term memory are obliterated. It can take another twenty minutes just to pick up the peices and hit high gear again. I was working all day on a much more scalable storage system for our hand history databases in Poker Academy.

The flow has carried on into the evening and I’m still at my computer, but for the last two hours I switched to work on the CRON-o-Meter, build 0.1.4! Well let me tell you, this is one hot looking build. She’s gotten a bit of a make-over with pretty new target bars, tooltips, and the best new feature EVER. It now keeps track of how often you eat each food item, and when you do a food search it sorts the results in order of how often you eat them, so the most common foods appear right at the top. It makes it a hell of a lot easier to enter things that I eat routinely. For instance, to enter an apple, I can type ‘ap’ and I know it’s going to be the first item to come up out of hundreds. So very very hot.

Another nice thing about working at home is I can make awesome lunches. Today for lunch I has an egg-white scramble with zuchinni, kale, onions, and banana peppers. I had roughly 1800 calories in total today.

    Thought you’d be interested in an open letter to Aubrey de Grey on The Methuselah Prize from Elixxir, the author of The ImmorTalist Manifesto. Can we tolerate a healthy debate on the best route to conquer aging? Surely we ImmorTalists are not afraid of facts and reason in a robust discussion.
