Ted went outside a couple days ago and hasn't come back. After a discussion about who's more interested in having Ted come back and what's the best way to "make" him come back, I went outside with Lin as she called his name and tried to coax him out from wherever he may be, which we assume is near our house.

Didn't find him which didn't surprise me. I wish Lin could just trust he's happy with his decision and let him come back if/as he deigns to do so.

Francine and I are headed to Japanese class after teaching down on the south side.

state of my life address

15:34 Wednesday 08 April 2015 JST

Oops we're arriving in Yokohama soon so not much time to write.

1. Ted ran away; he has been gone 2 days.
2. I've been working on body and soul website with Sho
3. I've been doing AB website for past couple years but not a lot of work now.
4. I've been taking Japanese lessons at 80s Cafe in Akihabara, up to 3

times per week (for about 2 weeks now). Have also been studying flashcards on Anki, Memrise, and reading TextFugu

1. I'm a bit behind on mazes, well not "behind" exactly but just up to

date. Need to get some more done quickly to get ahead of schedule again.

1. Teaching for JB school a few days per week. Teaching on Tuesday

mornings and evenings, Wednesday evenings, Thursday mornings and evenings, and some weekend days.

1. Have been practicing Unity 2D development, trying to put as much on

github as possible (but recently removed some code from noobtuts' premium offering).

1. I'm somewhat happy with my current direction of my website

setup.. I've got b.robnugen.com just serving images (b for "binary", a throwback to the old FTP days where we had to tell which way to transfer the files, as ascii or binary). www.robnugen.com goes to my old account, but .htaccess quickly tosses those requests to new.robnugen.com, which is still a bit wonky as I've not got my static site generator quite set up. Middleman is slow as fuck and Hugo can't handle all-utf-8 filenames. My end goal is to write a static site that contains all the content from robnugen.com (journal, writings (including the inane stuff from my wiki (R.O.B.O.T. and other crap I've forgotten), and possibly old crap I didn't write), and new stuff: Unity samples, etc. All of that should be kept in git via main repo and submodules.

1. Tariq and I have essentially finished our set of Japanese apps

based on Apple Memory and its little siblings. One misspelling fix is waiting for approval now, and we're trying to get the other app approved, but they're saying it's confusingly similar to some other app, which it's not similar to at all.

1. TJ Bike is outside, but his seat is ripped and soaked with

rainwater a lot of the time. His chain is rusty, but we don't have an indoor place to keep him. I've just been using Lin's bike, who has new tires, but no name.

1. In Unity, so far, I've just gone through noobtuts tutorials: Pong,

Tetris, and Bejeweled. I am trying to jump into my own project, but maybe I should keep going through their other toots.

1. Each time I go down to Fukuura for my lesson, I take the KQ line to

something something station, where I take the Seaside Line, which is fun because there's no driver and I can sit in front.

1. Lin is working in real estate again; it's busy and sometimes

stressful, but she's glad to be back in the industry.

1. Fred and I were talking nearly every day for a while, but haven't

in the past week or so. I've not talked to Ma for a while, but my dad called me on my most recent birthday.

1. ママ lives in our house downstairs; she's still working early

shifts. I've vaguely been able to speak with her more since I started studying Japanese.

1. My phone is iPhone 4S which I've had for a while. My computer is

aluminum MacBookPro which I've had for about 3 years now. It's about to go out of warranty. When it can no longer handle the most up-to-date OS X, I'm gonna put Ubuntu on it, and when it's too tired for even that, I'll get a non-Apple laptop.

1. I've been doing 100 pushups per day. I did extra yesterday and only

20 or so today, but I'm at 773 for the month, thanks to PUWF (push ups with friends)
