log entries of timotheus

I am currently over halfway through my visit to CA. I flew in on the 24th of September, worked a day then traveled to Berkeley to hang out with maiki, Susan, Justin, Kimi and Jason. Colin came up for a day too. It was really great to see everyone, and to work on getting our main site done. I also had some really good design talks with maiki, who gave me some really good inspirational ideas. Specifically, I had a moment of insight on my finance app. It needs to be easy to use, and obviously helpful to people. I was trying to push some of my financial beliefs onto users with the interface I was using. It will be very basic, with an ‘advanced interface’ option later on.

I got back to Sacramento on the 1st. I worked the next day, went to lunch with some co-workers which was nice. The 2nd, I had some errands to do around town, and those were all put on hold when my tire on the Crown Vic decided to leak air? It was covered under the Costco warrenty, but that was 2 hours out of my day. Wasn’t fun.

Saturday I spent some time with Greg. We got lunch, then went over Eric’s house and let Chino and Kade (dogs) play around outside. Jenn, Teresa, Elly and Jeff met up with us later on and we went to Sutter St for some dinner. Afterward, Greg had to go home, but I stayed out for a while, visiting with old friends. Got home late that night.

Since then, I’ve been mostly working, though I think today is my last day. I picked up some books from my old library, and I am going to try to read them all before I leave. I realized my reading has actually declined since I moved, which is a travesty!

All I have coming up is my sisters wedding on saturday, then I fly back on the 14th. I’m looking forward to getting home. I miss my house, my friends and family, and green growing things!

I realize this post isn’t very exciting, but it is more of a log then anything. I want to be able to look back at this trip and know what I did.
