Update Git User
This morning I log into my VCS and check activity on my projects to find that someone else has been very active on my projects fo the last few weeks. I quicklyhover over the missing avatar to find that It’s Me. What’s wrong here, why do I look like two different people throughout the day! upon further investigation I see the issue. while setting up a new terminal environment I mistyped my email address by one character. After much searching and a few failed attempts I was able to fix it by following an article no longer available (2021) from https://help.github.com/articles.

The year of intenionality
This is a follow up to my previous post 2018-retrospective [1]
professional # [2]
This year I will become more productive, by intensionally working on a well thought out plan, learning the right technologies, and leave behind a positive legacy.
Productivity # [3]
Last year I was able to make some great strides in my productivity and focus. This year I want to be able to bring it up a notch. Intentionality plays a big part in this. Taking some time to sit down and think about the tasks you realistically want to complete for the day, then focusing on those tasks one at a time.
I started off the year last year using the pomodoro system to focus on one task and one task only for 25 minutes at a time. This worked really well for me but I quickly fell off of the train and fell into my old trap of reacting to the loudest customer over the items I put intensionally on my todo lis...

2018 Retrospective
2018 was a year of many ups and downs, and learning to deal with a whole new
set of problems professionally and at home. In 2018 I logged in to my first
Linux system, setup my own webserver, data pipelines, database. I learned to
use react and d3. Stepped up my python, javascript, and sql.
At home the doctor appointments keep piling in. While I am learning to deal
with it all there were several times throughout the year that I was very
overwhelmed with everything and broke down.
Here are the goals I had listed out for 2018 and how I faired at completing
them.
Positivity # [1]
The Good # [2]
---
- Continue “Favorite Things” with family at dinner time
- Take 2 10min breaks per day clear the mind
---
I can say that the kids are fully on board with favorite things and love to
tell everyone about how their day went. This is a time that they are very
positive and generally give praise to another family member for helping them
through their day.
To Be Improved # [3]

Do More of What Brings You Joy
Today I want to take some time to talk about the things that make me happy in my work environment. This is completely free-flow off the cuff, but are things that I do that make me happy, not having them would definitely be a deal breaker for me .
Attitude # [1]
A positive work atmosphere goes a long ways. We all have enough negativity going on in our lives that is out of our control accepting any negativity in the workplace is a no go for me. There was a point in which I was suffering a lot of negativity at work. This began to trickle into every part of life, and it became hard to see positivity anywhere. My wife not only noticed this, but put a polite request in for change. It was definitely a low point and she could tell tell that my work life was not helping anything.

Learn D3 in 5 days # [1]
For what we are creating in these posts d3 is way overkill and very verbose, but I need to start somewhere! These are just stepping stones into real custom visualizations that cannot be done in any other tool today. I still cannot explain how excited I am to say “I created that in d3!!!”

Learn D3 in 5 days # [1]
I recently subscribed to Ben Clinkinbeard’s learn D3.js in 5 days, and am currently on day 3. I read through the first 2 days, and felt fairly comfortable with selecting elements, so I did not follow along on the first two days. I probably should have, but there are only so many hours in the day.
Why Learn D3 # [2]
D3 is the ubiquitous dynamic visualization library for building custom interactive visualizations on the web. It is a bit low level, and more verbose than many other libraries that build upon it, but if you want full control D3 is the way to go. I have used a few libraries built upon d3 i...

Using c to change text # [5]
I have gone quite awhile without using c and instead using d. The reason that I started using c is because it automatically places you into insert mode. This not only saves me one keystroke for commands such as diwi is now ciw, but it also works with the repeat . command!!! This is huge. When refactoring a document I had been creating a macro to change one word to another, using c instead of d allows the use of the . rather than needing to create a macro.
