It is Friday and it has been a long week and I am feeling somewhat tired. My wife and I have been invited for dinner at one of her brother’s house. I am looking forward to decompress later today.
In this post I tackled problem 17.4 from the Cracking the Coding Interview book by Gayle Laakmann McDowell. As usual I read the problem a few times to get a good understanding of what is required. Given that I have to generate the test scaffolding I try to be even more careful not to waste time. Continue reading “Missing Number”
It is Thursday in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and the sun is shining. Later this afternoon my wife and I will go walking for an hour. Not too many days left before it gets really cold and start to snow.
I am writing a white paper on Agile. Hope to get done by the end of this week. I will be looking where to start posting it and future ones besides this blog.
This past week my wife, our granddaughters and I returned from a holiday trip to Europe. We visited several cities in Italy, Belgium and Amsterdam. We flew commercial airlines to move between large cities. This made me think of airplane routes and filling up the tanks with fuel. For efficiency reasons airplanes do not get refueled on each stop if it can be avoided. Depending on the part of the world you travel to, airplanes have minimum amounts of fuel they must have on board when they takeoff. The amount depends on the distance to the next stop. I know a few things about the subject because I flew for fun private planes for a few years. For personal reasons (wife and family) I decided to stop. 
It is a gloomy Tuesday in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. It rained last night. It is quite damp. It is a typical fall day in this part of the country. The only difference is that in the past two years the lawns are green instead of being brown. I do not know for sure the cause for the climate change which is a very controversial topic, but for sure something is changing.
It is Saturday October 12, 2019 in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and we are receiving the first snowfall of the season. Seems like a couple days ago the temperature dropped 50 degrees F in a single day in Colorado producing a big snow storm. We are getting the remnants of it.
It is a Saturday morning in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. It rained last night. Hopefully the day will be dry. I am planning on cooking chicken wings in the gas grill on the deck. There are not too many warm days left to use the grill this season.
It is Monday evening. Yesterday, with the help of my wife we cleaned a spot in my home office and put together the 4K monitor and computer. Later I set up the computer. The monitor is impressive. The only this missing for today is to connect the Azure Kinect DK and start experimenting.
I will start this post today and will finish it tomorrow. Today I received the 4K monitor that I ordered last week from Dell. The box looks like it is for a regular flat screen TV. My wife and I moved it downstairs. I will open the box over the weekend. Hopefully the new computer will arrive before the end of the weekend.
