Co-Working Code

 I have been able to attend a few sessions of the Seattle ATmosphere working sessions that are being hosted by Seattle Community Network.  Its been a fun time getting to discuss the network and the needed sections with other engineers. 

I've moved my overall plan to hosting my own PDS/Relay/Appview so I can be nearly independent.  The appview will most likely be a soft fork of a webapp that I can hopefully help contribute too but host my own copy for security.  For the relay, I am looking at the rsky-relay (pronounced risky) that was made by Blacksky Algorithms for my relay as I think it will also best fit into the OSS model I can contribute too.  

With Tangled.sh and other appviews beginning to show more features and users I think we will see a good adoption of the ATProto within the tech community for the next few years.  

Portfolio Work

 I worked on my portfolio projects this week getting a few new programs added to my Anecdotal Tech repository.  I also added some contextual comments as I am debugging some code and its incomplete so looks rather bad without it.  

I've also been revisiting my notes from Pycon and have been watching the sessions I couldn't make in person.  After I finish my portfolio projects (Flask App, 140+ programs, and ATProto feeds) I think I'll be diving back into animatronics and my Maxwell kit. Al Sweigart's Making Python Talk, Make Python Listen is an amazing look at what we can do with python and language processing. 

Python

I've been learning the Python programming language for about 3 years now.  My best progress has come from Al Sweigert's Automate the Boring Stuff and my intro classes at Oregon State.  

Object Oriented Programming still eludes a foothold in my brain but it is coming along with each new lecture and assignment.

I started working on my first little web app using Flask last month and hope to finish by end of Q1.
