Distractions

  Distractions are typically thought of as a negative thing. Something that takes your focus away from a primary task. However, there is on occasion a distraction that is a really great thing. Sometimes in the human experience we get so wrapped up with so very much going on that all we need desperately for is a simple distraction to take our minds briefly off of the troubles and chaos at hand in our lives so that by unfocusing we are able to then better focus and re-evaluate our stance.

    I suppose perhaps I have been hovering around such a said status for a bit now and was getting quite to the point where I so very much simply needed a distraction. And then, it arrived! Actually in the form of an email from a group that provides temporary Virtual Machines (VMs) for developers, located at www.koding.com I had created an account there but after tinkering around with the VM they spotted me I found it to be a little less than desirable for my liking for the solitary reason that I am to cheap to purchase a plan from them and so with the free account the VM is scheduled to automatically shut down after 15 minutes of the terminal closing.... Good concept but the constantly changing IP address made it difficult for me to work with and since I mostly had plenty of server space via other routes never made great use of what was really there. Long time later after nearly forgetting all but that koding.com exists I get an email from them inviting yours truly to a hackathon.
More specifically the invitation was to hack.summit()2016 and the correlating hackathon that took place on the preceeding weekend. Well, it just ended and I have submitted my project for it just over an hour ago.

   Sweet bliss what a joyous distraction this was to me. It was just enough to once again get me focused on the key points and character traits that make me tick on a daily basis. So, perhaps I am increasingly placing posts in this blog that perhaps seem to indicate that I am a bit off balance and trying to become realigned. This would be a fair evaluation indeed, yet nonetheless important for me to share with my two wonderfully exceptional sons at this point when I am in the emotional storm of it all so that I can record with greater accuracy in the aims of best assisting them when they face a bit of chop on the sea. I know your to young right now, but you'll get it soon enough, just enjoy being a free-spirited child for the time being and be in no rush to be anything else at this point.
