I fly to MI at 9:55am, and what am I doing right now? Downloading stuff to my laptop so that I'll have work to do on the plane. I have a fun new project for this site that I'm hoping to wrap up soon, and I hope to knock a good bit of it out tomorrow. To do that, though, I need to have apache, mysql, etc, all set up locally. Tonight I'm downloading rpms, tomorrow on the plane or in the airport I'll set it all up and get to work.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
