I'm a good starter and a good finisher. It's the middle of the project where my motivation can dip, particularly on side projects. I love taking a seed of an idea and running with it into prototypes etc. And I also love doing that final la

On my recent trips to and through the US, I've been pleasantly surprised by how I've been treated at the border. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful - they seemed as though they were actively trying to create a good impress

Well it's a distributed data store so I guess at times they took down certain nodes for upgrades or fixes etc then bought them back up afterwards where they became consistent again. This probably wouldn't have had any user impact. These di
