The Lonely Developer
This particular post is a window into the life of a very ordinary person, doing an ordinary job, surrounded by extraordinary people serving an infinitely extraordinary God.
Family Update
We are so thankful that all four of the kids are growing and thriving! Each day is SO full around here, with noise, food, dirt and baby kisses! Asa is just about done with his first soccer season. He loved playing so much and we look forward to doing it again next year. We’re thankful […]
A good day for coding
Here’s what it looks like outside: I didn’t know when this day dawned, but it’s a good day for coding. I’ve been a little off the past several days (quiet, Bruce), so today has been good for me. My time spent searching for and finding a bug, then restructuring a lot of code to get […]
The Ethnos360 Logo
On the team I’m part of, some brilliant and creative people have been working hard over months to get a logo together that visually represents who we are and what we do. Here’s what they produced: I love it! The 360 in our name basically stands for “Around the World”, so a circular or globe […]
Hacking for Jesus
Well I sure am tired, but man did I have fun at the Indigitous Hackathon! Here was the space where our team was working: I was able to contribute some code to add an admin interface to the BibleBox setup on a Raspberry Pi. With this setup, missionaries, Pastors, whoever can share videos, bible passages, […]

Sorry :/ A problem I ran into on a job this week was a contact form plugin that uses irreversible form field invalidation. In short, once a field has been marked invalid, it’s impossible to […]
Home buyers!
Our big news this month is the house! We’re under contract and out of underwriting and a bunch of other legal-sounding things on this house: It’s a short bike ride to work, and a manageable walk to downtown with the kids. We really love the area and are so excited to hopefully be homeowners soon. […]
Gator!
Our closest encounter with an alligator in the “wild”. Now before getting all upset about me and my 1, 4, and 5 year old kids this close to an alligator, we were on the other side of a cable fence which started about 3 feet up a concrete wall from the surface of the water. […]
So what does Rachel do all day?
I feel like I do a zillion different little things all day, but I'll simplify so you can get the general gist.
I'm supposed to get up and run or walk first thing in the morning. I say "supposed to" because often I choose to sleep longer instead.
This Week’s Project: Old Code
This week was "slow" in that there were no fires to put out, and no big to-do's due any time soon. That means that instead of working on what needs to be done right away, I was able to dig into some projects that were on the back burner...
