we moved into our new office. it could probably fit ~15 people or so. pretty cool.

3 years ago: 2 people (me/my boss) working remote
2 years ago: small office (capacity ~4 people)
1 year ago: slightly bigger office (capacity ~7 people)
today: bigger office (capacity ~15 people)

now i just need to figure out where me/dev team should be.. i kinda like the area in this photo. it's a cozy spot but still a nice view. dno yet.







~80" tv going on the wall.

yea, the view is great. view was even better in the previous office (upstairs, 2nd floor), but the view is still great on the ground floor.

2nd floor view was really nice, but the office space was much smaller, so the new spot is definitely nicer.

this office building is in a great location. it's right next to a really nice park (clay tennis courts, bball court, baseball fields, skate park). then on the other side it's basically cozy residential (nice homes). Boca Raton is really nice, lots of gr8 spots in this city.

hah thanks! :highfive:

boss plans to get a clean/slick mural of the GoLang Gopher (mascot) in there - since golang basically helped transform the business from a software perspective. Go also makes up the vast majority of our code base. ie 90% Go, 10% Javascript.

WTF! next time i complain about aphids and caterpillars i will remember that somewhere in miami a prehistoric dragon lizard does night raids and eats whole plants!!!  :o :raging:
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

yea exactly :<

fuqn sux.

since i surrounded those pepper plants, with other big plants, no problem. i imagine the iguanas are afraid to go in there.

one will eventually figure it out tho.. need a better setup.  :ninja:

11/30/2019:

run:
- probably 2 miles total running with the pups (in ~quarter mile segments). man they are in good shape.

was walking/running with them around west wellington florida (as west as you can get in wellington). eye'n some properties, might make a move on one.

tired of renting already. would rather own my own spot. also i don't personally like being so close to my neighbor's, especially these noisy pool engine types (07:30 AM to 01:30 PM every day).

potentially looking to move to the "equestrian capital of the world". they got LAND (5 acre lots) & horses, dirt roads, areas with no street lights, 30mph speed limits, and BOUGAINVILLEAS *everywhere*. i'm into that.

can't find anything like that around here :/

it'd be 45-50 minutes from work but i don't think it would bug me. i've already done 30-40 minutes previously, and 20 minutes currently. going from/to my own spot would be pretty cool & make it worth it imho.

plan to try and talk to a bank this weekend. need to figure out how to get one of those crazy low mortgage interest rates.

this spot is basically the same longitudinal line i grew up on.





boog bloom coming. some new growth:

buying a house in south florida just seems like a crazy long-term investment to me. storms are gonna get worse (or bad storms more frequent; tomayto tomahto), sea level's going up. same goes for anywhere along the water on the east coast, especially in the southeast but even in places like the jersey shore. like, are flood and hurricane insurance even available anymore? if so, don't they cost an absolute mint?

what are people saying about it down there? the climate crisis and its impact on the area, i mean. really curious actually.

sup man!

I'm not personally worried. Only people I know who are worried, are in Miami - which is understandable. Miami/Broward/Keys are going to suffer it (sea level rise & hurricane storm surge etc) the worst. I mean they are a few feet above sea level in most cases. That's 10-20 years before it really starts impacting, and by 50-100 they could be completely under water.

Most Palm Beach folks I know aren't as worried, since it sits higher @ ~13-20 ft above sea level.

If I moved to Wellington, i'd be ~22 miles inland, which helps a decent amount during hurricanes. That area is also 13+ ft above sea level.

The hurricane fears are legit, but more so from just a property damage perspective. From a "selling property" perspective, people are going to keep buying down here. When the hurricanes aren't crushing us, it is a beautiful place to live, especially if you like the city beach life etc - which I don't lmao.

I'd def worry about property damage but that's always been a problem in FL/SFL.

As for the sea level rise stuff etc, i'd definitely be worried about that even though Wellington shouldn't be "under water". That area would probably be fine, but the fallout resulting from Broward/Dade going under water could ruin everything (sewage/landfills/toxic stuff/trash). Plus all of that "salt" rising through the limestone stuff which wrecks drinking water. Wellington has one of the biggest water supplies that is "safe" from that kind of sea level encroachment, apparently. Lake Okeechobee is nearby as well. I mean by that time, many millions of people will have left the state. That'd be in like 2050+ with several years of humanitarian crisis (relocation) preceding it. Could be right around the corner, dno.

I guess it worries me if I think i'll be around to see it. But no idea if I will be or not so, that makes me think less about it. And if I foresee that it would get bad i'd just sell a property for less if need be, cut my losses, and dip out.

I plan to keep working at my current job for at least another 2-3 years (hopefully more). Who knows how long we can grow this thing etc.. So given that, if I just continue to rent for those years, i'll be "throwing away" alot of money that I could be investing into my own property. To me that sounds like the game changer. If putting that money into my property means I could get it back out (with possibly more) in 5 or 10 years, seems like a smarter move to me than continuing to rent while working here.

dno lol.
