Taoday's Progress: I've set up some goals for the challenge. I've also set up some tools, like this log, and of course the first enrty is a bit late.
Thoughts: I'm quite afraid of what I'll do tommorrow and the next day, and so on. Seeing the 100th day so far is quite disturbing. But I'll do it as I can.
So here is a little list of what I will do or won't:
- Finish the Markdowner for my ebooks, I need to read on the train daily
- Work on a Factorio Mod called Landmarks, the empty shell is done
- Take some freecodecamp courses
- Polish my skills in JS, nodeJS in particular
- Learn React Native
- Work on a phone app to design meals for the week
If I can do some of these, I'll be happy.
Today's Progress: I've gone through twitter API and did a script that will help me tweet about this challenge. Hey my next tweets on this will be sent by a robot!
Thoughts: I'm pretty happy to have done that. I had to do some research and get argparse done the right way this time. Not quite sure about the import after the name == "main" but will see that next time.

Today's Progress:
- did some work with dates
Thoughts: Today was great but baby was too hot due to weather conditions. I spend lot of time with her and argued with wife about age calculation. In the end I decided to write a small script to get the baby's age calculated the right way. Next I wanted to do some work with APIs, and decided to go toward the Star Wars API. I've just scratched the surface though.
