My first Skypecast podcast thinga-ma-jigger.

It wasn't my smoothest talk ever, but it went pretty well. Allan Benamer author of www.NonprofitTechBlog.org interviewed me for a podcast. I've never listened to a podcast much less made one, so this is a pretty cool first-time experience. :)

Village development is going pretty well. Seattle didn't have power this weekend due to trees falling on power lines, so my programmer Anton has some catchup to do but nothing scary. For you game geeks out there our main algorithm challenge is pathfinding for characters on the map.

Things here in Palo Alto are pretty quiet. Most of the Stanford students have vacated the premises for the holidays. I will too but not until Christmas day. I'm doing a pseudo-holiday of one week in VA.

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.

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.
