Two weeks ago we were at the Pacific Ocean. Today we’re at the Atlantic.
A warm sun and a cool breaze made today a nice one to be at the beach. Sadly, we’re not staying for the fireworks tonight. I’m sure we would be exhausted and burnt if we tried to stay. We stayed … Continue reading Two weeks ago we were at the Pacific Ocean. Today we’re at the Atlantic.

Whoa… I was taking Jim and Peggy on a tour of ABC News. We got an up close view of the NAC (or was it NACC?). They do quite a bit there, but in short, they schedule the programming you … Continue reading ABC News
Fastlane (open source project)
Technical post… Fastlane is a project to automate a number of tasks for getting an Android or iOS app published. One of the tasks I was working with was getting a report of the code coverage – how much code has unit tests. I’ve been using Fastlane for a while although I’m not an expert at it nor the Ruby language. I found out Fastlane provides tools to use the Swift language instead of Ruby. So I gave it a whirl and things were going great, until it came time for code coverage. Slather, the tool which performs the code … Continue reading Fastlane (open source project)

Russian Passport + Car Accident
Crazy day today. I’ll let Olessia announce the great news (D received his Russian passport). The bad news is we got rear-ended tonight. We are fine and the car appears to be ok minus the new scratches. Pro tip: don’t be looking down at your phone while driving… Continue reading Russian Passport + Car Accident
Subway Stopped
Subway stopped running and I was stuck as Roosevelt island for a bit. Not a bad place to stop to take a conference call. Luckily it wasn’t raining. The Starbucks here was full and pretty small. Continue reading Subway Stopped
