All kinds a Village going on

Village Map ... Village Board Game ... Village Demo.
I haven't written in a month.... wow! I've been posting mostly on the blog at http://www.villagethegame.com. August has been pretty tame. Lots of emails, lots of phone calls, and just Hezbollah to keep me entertained. Last night I played the most annoying game of chess ever with my friend Josh. Three times I "knew" I had em and of course, it ends stalemate. Punk.

I was planning on a trip to California for a quick visit but I don't think that's going to happen. I'm burning through my money too fast and I'll probably be headed back there before winter anyways. Now it's looking like a week in South Carolina at the Zadok House of Prayer. Hopefully I can get recentered before I head off to Kenya on August 29th. Did I mention I was going to Africa? Yep Africa. Everyone's doing it. Why not. After Kenya for a month, Hyderabad, India for a month. Between those two continents I hope to ge t a lot of research and development done for Village. So VillagetheGame.com is probably going to have a lot more activity than DarianHickman.com. My personal life is on hold at the moment. No women, no Kung Fu, no soccer, nothing except Village and the occasional boob tube perusal. But hey, I'm learning a lot. I figure the amount of money I'll probably spend on Village is equal to about a year at Stanford Business School and I'll probably learn just as much, too. We'll see.

How effective is Blogger at sharing now.

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. There's no excuse for this to not exist yet. https://www.romper.com/p/i-tried-minimalist-parenting-for-a-week-it-was-a-total-game-changer-74237 Romper Home Flowcharts News Moms Unfiltered Pregnancy Sex & Relationships Baby Toddler Kid Health Entertainment Motherhood Food Fashion & Beauty Company About Contact Terms Privacy Courtesy of goodmoments/Fotolia I Tried Minimalist Parenting For A Week, & It Was A Total Game Changer By Ambrosia Brody 4 days ago SHARE Being present at all times with my children is an elusive goal.

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
