I woke up at 7:00 AM today. Yesterday I went to a dog beach with my wife and dog. Worked on Listi.net conversion. Ran a blood sugar test.

Blood Sugar

Had pizza for dinner. One slice of Buffalo chicken. My blood sugar (bs) hit 166 but may have gone higher. I thought I could have pizza but not candy or sweets. The problem is once I have pizza it sets me off to seek out other great tasting food. My wife went to the ice cream store 16 Handles but I didn't buy anything. I'm so glad. I tried to do so weight lifting, curls and presses and it didn't seem to lower my blood sugar. I was going to test my bs but I thought it was too high at 109. I'll wait 1/2 hour so it comes down before I test a Zone bar.

Listi.Net

Worked on Listi.net conversion to SQL Server and can finally see lists. Ran into issue with bit vs. boolean values, but resolved it by changing the code.

Excel Diet

Got a new user yesterday and was reading through the book. It's not that bad. I'm thinking of printing out a copy of it. I've been afraid to reach out to users and follow up with them. So far only one user reached out to me and I assume he failed his diet. 

I've stalled on my weight loss as I weighed 165 today, due to the Buffalo pizza yesterday.

Wisdom of a Dad

This project has stalled while I'm upgrading Listi.net. My next goal is to proofread the book but this is a daunting task as to the size of the book. You can see my progress at WisdomOfADad.com. 

Home Chores

Desk is pretty messy, I have to clean the poop and do the yard, boxes of stuff, garage.

Fun

This may be the most important goal of all. You want to have longevity and $ so you can have fun. I'm still looking for ways to have more fun. I like blogging but am not getting enough feedback to make it enjoyable. 

Problems are opportunities

I now have experience converting from access to sql server maybe a business possibility?

Overdue books. I keep running into this and could use a better/easier way to add books to some mechanism of reminding me to renew them.

Writing the book WOAD has been difficult and this could be a business or I could develop a tool to assist with the issues. 

Blogger doesn't support shortcut keys.

Could use a system to better analyze and improve my tweets to get more clicks on Twitter.com, 

• What times are the best?
• What copy gets the most tweets?
• What if I do some A/B testing

My website getting a 500 error means there's an issue with the code. This is very difficult to find. I wish I had better version control and could easily identify what changes I make and to easily go back to a previous version.

Book

I'm reading 2 books:

1. $100 Startup (reread)
2. The Power of Now

Key Principle

Today's key principle is Time Balance. 

Liking

Shortcuts in Excel. Learning from Blood Sugar Meter.
