Daytime village
Wednesday, July 31st, 2013Here’s the view across the way from our apartment here in the Village during the daytime. As opposed to the nighttime view. Great Art courtesy of the exclusive iPhone-cam, taken in front of our apartment here at the Village, and part of my famous Architecture and Garden series.
Fine day. LRN4 had another good one. We slept way in this morning, throwing both breakfast and lunch off schedule. It was worth it. She took the afternoon walk on her own today – I was busy with my programming – and she reports she’s building her stair climbs back up. Before her weekend with the lumbar puncture-induced headache, we were climbing the thirty-step staircase seven or eight times every day. After the headache, she really struggled to make it two or three times. Today she built it back up to four. I’m also delighted to report that she’s feeling antsy to go home. Ergo, she’s feeling much better. But she’s also getting really sick of having numb feet and no hair. There’s kind of a helpless feeling sometimes for both of us. But we’re making progress.
Made some progress on the app again today. That’s incredibly, frustratingly slow too. I got one important thing working right today and was making some adjustments to some things during a consultation with LRN1. He suggested a basic change to the page layout architecture to make some things better. I don’t want to go back to fundamental things again on this app, but he’s right – it won’t look and work right unless I fix it. So I’ll tackle that tomorrow. Then I’ll finish the stuff I started today. After I get that part working, I think it will be ready to share with a couple of alpha testers. I’ve lined up LRN31, who suggested the app in the first place, for that. I’m excited for her – an actual teacher – to have a look and tell me what works and what doesn’t. My new goal is to have it available for download before Labor Day, which means I really want to have it submitted to Apple by the time we leave here. That’s coming up very quickly. Crunch time! I guess I actually need to get productive on this thing. Yikes.
Watched another movie tonight – [amazon asin=B001FB55MG&text=Bedtime Stories]. Cute movie. I’d seen it before, but enjoyed it this time too. I could go either way with Adam Sandler, though. He can be funny at times, but he can also be just plain annoying. Especially when he does his stupid voice. Just shut up and act, Sandler! But this movie was okay. He only did the stupid, irritating, unfunny voice a few times.
Rousing recommendation there, huh? Did any of my Loyal Readers see this movie? Did you enjoy it?
Nothing else new today. So I’ll leave my Loyal Readers with this shocking food violence news: pickle-related assault!
See you tomorrow.
