Hey!

Good question. I would love to have dinner and/or lunch. I don't have my
tickets yet, but I did negotiate a week's leave from work and other work
(childcare), so there should be time. I guess I'll coordinate my dates with
Scottie (I'm staying with her), then I'll get back to you sometime this week?

And yeah, Utah parks are pretty awesome. And your dog is very cute :)

Hey, great to hear from you!

Yes! We're here until the end of the year, then most likely moving,
possibly to Bridgetown. Please do look us up next time you're here, it would be
great to see you/meet your family.

Your son (and your husband) look so happy! How old is he now? How's

Dear Laura,

The envelope arrived - thank you  very much. Unfortunately it looks like it
was ripped open during transit and I'm afraid some of the material might
have gotten lost. The only enclosure in the envelope was the packet

Thanks,

I hope you get to meet her too - if only because it means I get to see you
again, it's been a while!

Sounds like you're doing really well. If so, I'm glad. I still read your
blog and it's outstanding.

I still get more sleep than I did in college, so there's that. I'm sure you
can relate... unless you were one of the crazy kids who got 8 hours every
night, but somehow I don't associate that with you. Anyway
sleep deprivation is much easier to take if you don't have to do math,
as it turns out.

subject: Re: Baby announcement!


email:
Hi Mary,

Thank you! It will be great not to need a stroller and baby monitor.

I think we're OK bringing Cassie's own bed (the same one we brought to
Malmo), as well as a mattress and sheets. As far as a high chair, I think
Cassie will be OK without one, she hasn't used one in like a year. We'll
bring Cassie's little bathtub, folds up for travel.

What would be nice is, if there is not a strong curtain in Andrea's old room,
to have some extra aluminum foil and painter's tape, so we can cover the
window. Besides that, it's more removing things - getting all knives,
cleaning products, permanent markers, etc. out of reach. We can bring a few
child locks for cabinet doors, if that would help.

I think we'll actually bring our own car seat, partially because Cassie is
used to it and accepts it, and partially because we need it anyway, to take
Cassie to the airport and back on the Bridgetown side. It uses Isofix, which
should be in any car made in the last 5 years or so, but if you tell us
which car you have, I can double-check.

Can't wait to see all of you! Very soon now!

Good question about the hosting - not sure yet! We'll decide in the next

Hey!

Sorry, I keep forgetting how full of lingo my job is. LOL.

OK, can't wait to see your new nose. What's better for you - weekend or
weekday? It would ideally be in the evening my time so your afternoon, but
I don't supermuch care which one.So if you have one in the next week or so,
just tell me which and I'll make it happen. If that is just an awful time
for you, we can also do it my afternoon/your early morning most days. The
trickiest is your evenings, unfortunately.

Oh, and, happy thanksgiving! We just had our first snow today.

Hi Robert,

I hope you and your family are doing well. I heard through the grapevine
that you are now a Director, and I think it's really
great, and Meowcor is very lucky to have you.

I am writing to ask if you would
be willing to be a reference for me for some jobs. The particular one I'm excited about is at Innoviarty. I hope that you would be able to speak to my
long-standing record of commitment to my work, in
particular the quality of my work was
at Meowcor.

I hope this is OK with you! I would appreciate you letting me know soon, as
the application period is very much in progress, and ramping up.

Hey sorry I'm slow. I still want to know how quickly that jar disappeared.

June's great! Come! Cassie and I miss you (and probably Richard too, but you
know he's too stoic to admit it).

I'm good. Indeed, very busy with new job and the (now older) baby. Cassie's
still a great sleeper but the flip side of that it that she's *intense*
when she's awake. Like bouncebouncebounce intense but also increasingly
big-feelings-of-frustration intense. I do hate to tell her that frustration
is pretty much the human condition, but I guess that's parenting.

Job is a lot of fun, I'm still getting up to speed on some parts of it, but
the group is great and very easy to fit in to. How are you? Anything new and fun in Memphis? How are your parents and all those
little nieces (and the one nephew)?

Hey dad,

Thanks! It's totally OK if you want to ship things to your house, though,
if they're coming from Korea in the first place. We should have room in
our suitcases to take it back.

I asked Gael and he said he likes shirts, either button-down or t-shirts
(men's large, NOT slim-fit works well). My personal suggestion is that he
might like a pair of bluetooth headphones, or Murakami books. For the
latter, I don't think he's read any of the short story ones; I personally
remember really enjoying Lexington's Ghosts. These
are just suggestions - honestly, Gael is hard to shop for.

What about you and Mary and Andrea? Some hints?

subject: update


email:
Hey Zach,

There's a fair bit of cleanup that needs to happen before the code can
really be open sourced (I'm sure you know that). But Pat's request (I
asked him specifically) is to just have it be *there* without any intention
of anyone actually running it + to have the site online. So I strongly suggest we not only completely ignore
the code quality (except the password issue, but to be extra sure, we
should also change the password), but also not even worry about whether the
'open source' code works.

Hi Adam and Ethan,

I guess maybe someday, in retrospect, this will be funny.

Personally I actually wouldn't mind raising this with the supervisor, since we
have one - just to see what happens, and it seems a bit tiresome for
everyone involved in this process to handle this ourselves. But if you think that that is more
likely to do harm than good, I guess we'll have to go with the latter and
hope the other team members will understand what we did a bit better.

Thank you very much for giving such a great talk to WorkTogether yesterday! We are
already getting very positive feedback from our members, and for myself,
I'd like to say that I found the talk very clear and also very
thought-provoking. I especially appreciated that the concepts were so
well-illustrated with examples, and the openness with which you answered
all the many questions from the attendees. I am sure many of us will be
taking advantage of the resources that you shared.

As a special thank-you, we would like to offer you a small present of WorkTogether
swag. If this is something that appeals to you, please let us know the
shipping address. We ship worldwide.

Finally, I wanted to let you know that your talk is already up on YouTube. We would also be very happy to

Hi Svetlana,

That is correct: it is not possible in Dash to have unlimited items,
but we can raise the limit. Rosalie suggested six, which seems OK to me - we
don't want to set it too high, because it complicates the code and also
slows down the page.

As far as the scenarios: thank you for catching that if extra
items are created, they don't go away. The values
should, however, reset by clicking the buttons. Does this not work for you?

Final thought: since we are getting rid of the "weak" option, should we
rename "medium" to "weak" so we have weak/strong instead of medium/strong?

I hope you're having a good holiday season and not too bored! I pretty much

A question for you - what would you like for Christmas? I asked your mom,

Hi Henry,

So unfortunately in the end it's too risky for me to go right
now, so I won't be able to come this week. I'm really sorry about this; I
really wanted to be there for you guys, see everyone, and of course catch
up - and I hope it doesn't mess with the seating arrangements too badly. I
rescheduled my trip for the first half of April, and I would love to buy
you and Allie a dinner then.

Best, and I hope you have a wonderful (and smooth) wedding -

(- Svetlana, Reece for now)

Hi everyone,

Since Svetlana wants us to make a decision on frameworks, I started a Google
document for requirements, pros, and cons. My preference is to keep as much logic as possible in Python, and to have something fast (like, launch it in a week fast).
But I think we need a better idea of the feature list to make a decision.
So I would ask you if you could expand the "features" section, and maybe
Alex could help us sketch out what it would actually look like. That
should conclusively answer the question of whether Dash would meet our
needs.

Thanks,

Isabel

As far as your wedding, I really want to come, I'll see if I can make it

Hi Reece,

Thanks for noticing :) I am adding in Maria who, IIRC, set up the hosting
back in the day. I actually haven't talked with Mr. Ivanov for years, so
I have no idea if keeping the site up is still a priority, but in any case,
it costs money. My best guess is that we let that service lapse, but Maria
would probably know better.

Hey! It's very nice to hear from you, and thank you for the birthday
wishes! Cassie did great on the plane and is settling in nicely. There are
five (five!) playgrounds within a 15-minute walk and Cassie loves them all;
we are now raising a slide addict.

And yes, we totally assembled the sofa bed the first night! Sleep is worth
fighting for. Bridgetown is... quaint but very sweet. All stores close early on
Saturday and stay closed through Sunday. But there is a wonderful cheese
shop and great cakes and even a place specializing exclusively in
Portuguese egg tarts. One thing that helps is that it turns out we are very
central, which is very convenient for getting around.

Thank you in advance if you choose to send Cassie something. Our address is

Hi Robert,

Thank you again for supporting my job applications. I wanted to let you
know that next fall I will be starting at Helco Bridgetown. I am very excited to get started.

I hope you and your family are doing well, despite this current crisis. I
heard from Penny that Meowcor is still being generally very supportive of
its employees, for instance sending everyone care packages long before they really
had to. I hope that that's your impression as well. We are doing OK here in
Bridgetown, a little stir-crazy, but we have fantastic infrastructure. In
particular, the stores have not run out of anything, and with any luck the
medical system will hold up as well. For the most part, people have been
excellent at taking care of each other.

Hey!

You are an absolute hero. And, I
mean, Einstein was a sexy man, but I'm sure he's got nothing on you. Also: I'm glad the rentals thing is picking up
again!!

Thank you again for sending me my American stuff! I ordered just one more
thing - a surge protector. It should arrive at your brother's on
Monday. There is also a birthday present for you, which by the way - HAPPY
BIRTHDAY! I hope you and your friends had a wonderful celebration. I do
hope that you like the thing I picked out for you (hint: it's not the surge
protector), but if it's not your style, I have confidence in your ability
to find something you'd be willing to exchange it for.

Anyway, for the bag and the surge protector, it would probably be best if
you sent it to Gael at work, since I'm going to be switching jobs.

I have also not been exercising. I went running exactly once, a few days
ago, mostly guilted into it because a different friend went. It was...
okay. We do walk a lot, though, and I now have this scooter that I use to
get around, and it's... kind of work? I bought it for work as well,
to make the commute a bit shorter.

Petra, Gael, and Cassie say hi. Petra is still very happycat, with me home
(and in fleece pajamas) and Cassie gone.

Hi Luke,

I hope you got the payment.

I just wanted to let you know the best way to deliver the food: There is an
alley behind/just to the west of the property. The entrance will be from the
alley, and it will be easy to bring the food up from there ( there is one
flight of stairs). It's okay to have your vehicle in the alley long enough
to unpack the food; after that there is lots of parking in the area. I am
including a parking map.

Dear Chris,

I reached out to you a few months ago to ask if you would be interested in
speaking to WorkTogether about your work at Rosalia. However, it seemed
like it was not a good time as it was quite close to your graduation. I
would like to try again.

In particular, we are looking for speakers to introduce WorkTogether members to
open-source projects in the broad area of Javascript frameworks. We believe
that Rosalia would be a wonderful organization to feature as part of this
project, and we hope a talk would inspire our members to get involved.
Typically, we ask our speakers to give a roughly 45-minute talk via Google
Meet, which is recorded and posted on our YouTube channel, followed by
10-15 minutes of Q&A. All talks are open to the general public, hosted by
WorkTogether, and moderated by me or my co-lead Maria.

email:
Hi Svetlana,

Sorry about the late response; it has been a very busy last two weeks
for me (I switched jobs), and unfortunately I didn't have quite as much
time as normally to spend on this project, and specifically on the hosting
question (see below). I am working on this now, however.

More specifically, I looked into this more yesterday, and sadly I am not
able to fully administer the crobot domain, and I need Reece to share
more controls with me; I sent him an email yesterday, so I hope that we can
resolve this soon. Note, though, that this would just allow me to set up
forwarding.

And I do think it is important
that we get this right, because once our site is public to the world (and
maybe this group is not looking at it / checking that everything is in
order every day), we need to rely on software to make sure that everything
is available and nothing breaks.

I've been working on this with Maria, and I think we are close to a
solution, but it has not yet been implemented. Unlike the simple forwarding, this requires some coordinated effort and will take longer.
It is up to you and the team to decide if we need this for the next stage
of the launch (in which case certainly we'll be as quick as we can), but I
guess we also have other issues to address, such as the color scheme
comments.

Best,

Thank you! Malmo is nice. We're actually about 2 hours south of Cairo

discomfort: her top incisors broke through today, so with luck she'll be
feeling better very soon.
