I'm in Richmond now volunteering with YWAM Virginia.

It's pretty cool so far. It's very Virginia'ish compared to YWAM Orlando. Homes are old and surrounded by ivy and oak trees. The people I've met so far are a lot more low key than the crazy people I met in Orlando. Tons of Brazilians here but there's a lot of them that aren't allowed to speak Portuguese because they are here to learn English. They already got me fixing the website and trying to bring hope to their Windows 98 PC's. I didn't convert anyone to Christ today but I did convert one guy to GMail.

Come visit me if you're in the Richmond area. You'll probably find me at 1500 Carlisle Ave, Richmond VA or at a church that serves as the base. Give me a call to figure out where I actually am.

Oh yeah ... a little good news, papers I needed from Brazil arrived yesterday. That's all for now. Come visit me if you're in the area or need an excuse to use frequent flyer miles.

May God bless your life with peace and meaningful warfare...

This works great for 1 day trips somewhere if you have a fridge and laptop plugged in.

Yes I'm reading parenting articles quite pre-emptively. I liked this one

It seems like modern parenting is an exhausting pain in the ass. Somehow the task has become more difficult not less even with technology to help us do everything. By the way, why are there still not washing machines for babies. How has this been overlooked. There are enough engineering couples who have tied the knot and started a family.

Rant: I hate Google Cloud but I don't want to.

I just wasted 3 hours trying to get Google Cloud SQL to work. After digging through docs and support forums I couldn't set up IPv6 access to my sql instance. This isn't the first time I've wasted tremendous time getting such a basic access feature to work. I went through a nearly parallel issue with Google Compute Engine. It took over a week to get the answers I needed to get a network access working for Google Compute Engine. I have a problem and I admit it. : I know Google Cloud will eventually dominate. I can't help myself from trying to use the inevitable technological leader in the cloud wars, but damn give me back all the money and months I wasted learning these platforms. If I could just turn off my engineering supremacy OCD ... just get prototypes working on traditional boring crappy tech, I'd have way more streams of income by now and hate my tech life far less. Speaking of money: There's still no clearcut way to cap monthly spend on Goog
