Yay! Back on track!
Over the past week I finished cranking out the modular window system I was working on, I'm back in track for my deadlines, feel focused again, and feeling much all-around happier. (And got a nice tidy check I hadn't asked for) Today I sat down with a new possible coder (we're testing him out) and I was able to implement a bunch of new systems to make his work easier before we even finished our conversation, and I started feeling the code again. Hmm.. that might not make sense. So I'm completely kinesthetic with parts visual. I don't remember code, for me its.. how to explain. I feel it, its cloud of logic.. like in XMen when the Professor 'feels' all the telepaths. That's whyI test o badly, because I can't develop that cloud instantly, I have to sit with the code until I grok the underlying structure. And that's why once I grok what's going on I can help people many times my senior to solve and develop their code without batting an eyelash - I just 'feel it'. Meh, still doesn't make sense so moving on.
So I also gave my resignation from my Atlanta job. Should have probably waited till I finished salary negotiations in Portland but I just couldn't take it. (They have 3 months notice now to find my replacement, more power to them)
Aaand last night we met with our future roomies so my gf could work out their boundaries with each other. I'm hopeful it will work out, I know they have slightly different outlooks on life so... *crossing fingers* The guy is someone have known for a very long time now and in many ways consider to be my brother. I don't know if thinks the same way and it doesn't really matter. We always randomly text each other with everything from deep philosophical insights to porn. He'll be teaching Capoeira in Portland (and making the Capoeira circuit) and is just incredible, message me after the move if you want to find out where he teaches. He has studied a wide range of other stuff as well.
And I just bought and read this new book in the past two days: "Warrior of Light" by the guy that wrote "The Alchemist". Just.. wow. Its not a great literary work, not even close to his other stuff in that sense, but it touched me incredibly deeply - it essentially and completely described my spiritual path, and I didn't even know it had a name. As far as I know it still doesn't, he didn't name any sources beyond passages from different places (most of which I knew and always connected to). It's completely on the ball though, I'm going to give copies to a few people so they can have a better understanding of why I make some of the choices I make.
