Chicken and sweet potatoes

I made some chicken, sweet potatoes, onions, and rice tonight.

Safe Erlang

One of the authors of a paper about safe Erlang execution from ~30 years ago emailed me back. Looking forward to working on that project some more.

Self

I always underestimate how much my emotional/mental well-being impacts my ability to work. It’s very frustrating to be excited about things, but due to some personal situations, I just can’t get myself to do anything. Getting away from the situation helps, but only for a few hours, and it usually makes things worse.

It’s still very difficult to find any time for anything, let alone the motivation to work on it. I would very much like to be able to go into an office for eight hours a day, even if it’s not to work on things I’m particularly interested in.
