Changes
a year ago
So, I've been away from FA for a year or so.
It's been a really strange year.
Dragoneer's sudden passing was a shock that reminded me we're not here forever.
First, I've retired and no longer need to work for a living. That's much weirder than I ever expected. I'm not rich or anything, in fact I'm making quite a bit less now that I did working, but I'm comfortable and still have more than I need.
After 45 years of being a software dev and worse, a software janitor - the schmuck who has to clean up the utter garbage left behind by the hotshot "star" coders... I finally decided to pack it in with this song...

I'm currently writing my own apps like a flight editing app for DJI Mini 4 Pro drones called FlightCAD™. If I have to deal with a sucky boss, at least I'm the sucky boss and I can tell myself to f*** off. :)
When I'm not writing code, I'm spending FAR too much time on VRChat hanging out with friends. I also went on 3300km road trip to Edmonton and back just to see old friends and family. That was fun but wow... I don't think I've ever driven that much in that short a time.
My health has been up and down and two old spinal injuries finally kicked in making it MUCH harder for me to draw, which is another reason I haven't been posting much. I've also been getting counselling for emotional issues. On the plus side, still mostly immune to COVID.
I have been drawing occasionally for Mr. Yote, some of which I have posted here in the past and I'll start posting more of that.
That's it for now.

Thanks for the update.
This is the perfect song and so true. My choices look so soft when, as my IT it consulting time was over, I say, "I was here for a year and it's over and god " James Brown - I Feel Good.
Hope your injuries get better, the weasels' luck finally ran out and we were both finally hit by the 'rona a couple of weeks back, only just recovered from it. Keep that immunity going!
