It’s been a long and wild month. And an even longer and wilder week of launching. I’m exhausted. Taking some time with the family to try to reset a bit so we can come back strong and focused and continue this marathon. Grateful for all the love and support.

Today has been phenomonal. Even with bs throttling and gate keeping from PH, we had an absolutely monster day of outpouring from friends and supporters. I couldn’t have imagined. I am beyond grateful for all the love. This thing might actually make it. @eventuallyticketing.com is now.

After getting our first monthly customer last month (via a recommendation from Claude), today we got our first yearly subscriber! Think we need to set up an automated bell ringer. :)

I was very close to scrapping my Microconf trip with the family today. Just felt too much with a baby with a fever and running on 2 hours sleep. Grateful for @bykelseygk.com pushing us to still go. Because we can do hard things.

I’m not a huge gamer. But the original NES gold cartridge Zelda was the one game I grinded on hard until I beat it as a kid. Played a few others, but over the last two weeks I’ve finally started to play Breathe of the Wild with my wife and 4.5yo. When this series hits, it fucking hits.

We're coming up on 40 years of The Legend of Zelda series, so we have to ask: What are your Top 3 favorite Zelda games?

I've always struggled with time tracking. I forget to start/stop timers, I'm bouncing between so many projects that it's impossible to properly do without breaking flow. So I created an automatic tracker based on which desktop I'm in using Hammerspoon. It's still earlier but I'm very excited.

Mac OS menu bar dropdown that lists multiple projects with the time associated with each.

Out of curiosity… Are people still doing /now pages? If you are, how often do you update yours? And is there a historical record for older versions? Way to track (rss)?

In hind sight... I probably shouldn't have started building a new company the same week we introduced a new baby into the world. But I can't help it. I think this needs to exist in the world. Also... kids are expensive.

First time back at my happy place since we were too pregnant to travel (June or so). The 4yo really wanted some hot chocolate after we did some chores around the yard.

This is the first time in forever that I've actually been annoyed by having multiple other projects that I need to work on and really wish I only had the one. Feels like it might be something.

First Google Nest, now Belkin Wemo being decommissioned. Love needing to completely swap out half of my house’s switches and plugs by the end of the year. What brand is the safest to switch to?
