2015.03.04 – Need This Fog Lifted

Staying home yesterday made today feel like Monday. I got to Mozilla and worked on some little naggy things like changing how data is serialized. I did it one of the ways I had suggested so the change is only in the JavaScript. Peter might hate it but I think it looks cleaner.

Now I really need to get my brain in gear and figure out how to display starred events for anonymous users. Python can’t talk to the browser but can talk to the database, JavaScript can’t talk to the database but can talk to the browser so can grab the localStorage event IDs. Currently I have starred events only displaying for users that are logged in because my view filters them based on user and event ID. I need to grab the IDs from localStorage and then use those IDs to retrieve the events from the database for display. It sounds really simple and it probably is really simple but I’m having trouble figuring out how to accomplish this.

I had a nice break after lunch and met Dave for coffee. We went to Courier Coffee nearby and since I’m a tea drinker I got the London Fog. Yum!

After lunch I got back into my mental gymnastics but didn’t really come up with any solutions. Barbara came down and worked so I had some company for the remainder of the work day which was nice. Jordan had gotten a ride home with a friend so I took the Max home rather than have Wayne come down just for me. It was a beautiful walk home down our street. I LOVE living here!

Today I learned that my friend’s cousin was finally released from East Timor after six months.
