Today is Wayne’s birthday! We started the day by letting him sleep in 🙂 The rest of the day was lazy as well. I didn’t really do much of anything myself. He didn’t want a special breakfast and he went for a run with our neighbor, Roger, at lunch time.
His run was his first in quite some time. Wayne is an avid runner but hurt his knee during the heavy lifting portion of our move to Portland. He tried to take it easy and rest his knee but each time he would go for a small run it would bother him again. He however decided that today was the day to try running again so off they went. They were gone for quite some time and ended up running close to 6 miles. He wasn’t thrilled with his pace of 10 minutes but was extremely happy that the run felt good.
I spent some time chatting with a person in the airmozilla-dev IRC channel who is also applying for the Air Mozilla OPW internship. They were having Git issues. I guess more specifically Github issues. It seems they only use Github for doing all of their changes, commits and pull requests. That sounds like a huge pain in the ass and apparently it is because they were having a lot of trouble. They wanted to have two separate pull requests but didn’t understand how to branch properly to achieve that. Github will just keep stacking commits into any open PR so you either have to wait for your PR to be merged or make separate branches. Their issues was that they branched, committed, made a PR and then branched off of their branch instead of branching off of master. Yeah that won’t work. Explaining it was not as easy as I thought though. I did my best but we’ll see if they get anywhere tomorrow when the mentor is back to work.
Natale was baking banana bread for Wayne and Wayne decided that he’d like to go to the Thai restaurant around the corner for his birthday dinner. Andrew and I had to run Natale to the store to get some pants so I messaged Alice and invited her and Jason, I called and invited Spencer and John as well. It ended up being the perfect group. We had the five of us, Taylor, Delaney, Jayde’s friend Estelle, Spencer, John, Alice and Jason. Dinner was fantastic and we all had a really nice time. We all walked back to the house where we sliced up some banana bread, stuck a candle in a slice and sang Wayne Happy Birthday. We all forced ourselves to eat more food even though we were stuffed!
Happy birthday, Wayne! I completely adore you 🙂
Today I learned that we can have warm summer-like weather late into October! A perfect day.
