I flew up to my old place, packed everything up, and immediately left in my truck on a 2-day journey to Vegas. An unexpected road closure turned yesterday’s 9-hour drive into a 12-hour one which seriously wore me out, but there were some beautiful views.

I did not expect the 7800 ft. elevation summit nor the three major snow storms. Fun fact: cruise control stops working when your grille is covered in ice. 🥶

This week was a tough one, but on a positive note: I’ve mostly finished adapting my app to use RTL languages and it’s been a really interesting and satisfying project.

A few people I’ve mentioned this to have reacted with some form of “why would you add support for Arabic?” which seems obvious to me: there’s a ton of people out there who use Arabic and yes, some of them read sheet music and have iPads. Some folks have very sheltered ideas of what life is like elsewhere.
