state of my life address

21:19 Monday 21 January 2019 JST

Lots of changes since just three weeks ago.

1. I created a Gofundme with a target of $46,000 to [kick off Mankind

Project Japan](https://www.gofundme.com/launching-mankind-project-operations-in-japan). $525 so far!

1. I created a 2.5 minute demo as a TEDx audition vid.

Safely expressing emotions makes life better.

1. Pinky has placed most of the decorative blocks along the

Decorative Walls after the Lowest Small-Medium Splitter, although I have not taken a new picture that shows all of them so far.

1. I have been checking in with Dora each week recently after signing

up for her Thrive in Japan course. She brought the big shifts to my attention so I am writing about them now!

1. Shirley has offered 50,000 air miles toward my trip to the US.

Trying to go to Vancouver (and hopefully see Colleenie Beanie Dog!) then Houston/Austin, then Hawaiiiiii

1. Delta-Mom has offered a buddy pass ticket price, so that should

help as well! Gifts from the heavens!

1. I will be taking a five week course starting this week which should

give me some insights on making Tokyo Men's Circle even better.

1. I have been trying to clean up my new.robnugen.com deploy process

so it can run on Netlify.com

1. Kevin's website was down after a wordpress automatic upgrade failed

to copy over the themes and plugins from the old installation. I guess they were in a non-standard location. I got it fixed though, and it was nice to talk to him.

1. I hired a designer to make a nicer version of

[Marble Track 3 website](https://www.marbletrack3.com/).  As of
this writing, the live site looks like
this
https://5c42ec0d7c4b6f0008a1f95c--wonderful-bhabha-dfd1ef.netlify.com/,
and the new site looks something like this

work finally working

21:10 Monday 21 January 2019 JST

I had a weird issue with crontab today.

If I editted the crontab while logged in as root, it did not work.

$# whoami
root
$# crontab -e
   ((( make edits )))
crontab: installing new crontab

But the changes did not work.

$# exit
$ whoami
ubuntu
sudo crontab -e
   ((( make edits )))
crontab: installing new crontab

And the changes work just fine.

One clear difference was user ubuntu was using nano to edit, while user root was using emacs... But seems weird if that would make a difference.

The same cronfile was edited both times.

Anyway, I got it working by sudo crontab -e instead of having root do crontab -e.
