[#100DaysOfCode] Day 22
Today, I got thinking about building tooling to trace issues across multiple cloud systems. I need to find some time to work through this. Additionally, I had a training session on Goose AI (thanks #torc) and am having a few coffee chats!
[#100DaysOfCode] Day 21
* Working on understanding the Randstad Digital Torc systems that I am an Ambassador for.
* Working on Cloudflare Worker Scripts (optimizing an API).
* Updating all my Microsoft MVP records after the CodeMash Conference.
* Thinking about the Stir Trek Conference: stirtrek.com
[#100DaysOfCode] Day 20
Today, I created a video of the project I created for the High School students who couldn't attend the CodeMash Conference.

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 19
"What about Bob!"
I've been silent again - busy with the CodeMash Conference. For those interested, here's what this event is to me: dev.to/rfornal/what.... Maybe you can join us one of these days.
[#100DaysOfCode] Day 16 & 17
I got back on track with an ultra-mini workshop for the high school students who come to the CodeMash Conference each year. I got an API, data, and the core of the frontend in place and documented for the session. It needs refinement; the pressure is off!
codemash.org
Tech-wise: I did go to the Christians in Tech meetup on Saturday. It was amazing seeing everyone. I also made it to the local #HamRadio Christmas Party and won the Baofeng UV-5R!
[#100DaysOfCode] Day ...
I'll be posting IF I write code; with the holidays, I'm focused on family more. I'll start where I left off just before the CodeMash Conference.
Slide deck cover
[#100DaysOfCode] Days 13-15
I was trying to get a menu to work for the next, previous, first, and last options for the new text-based slide deck I am creating. I failed at getting the menu to trigger the Shell Scripts involved. I just cleared out that code and am working on the next steps!
Terminal with what "could" be a title slide.
[#100DaysOfCode] Days 11 & 12
I had an idea. I want to create a talk presentation that's ALL in the terminal. What better topic to present than TypeScript. It's coming along ... one character at a time!
[ColumbusJS]
Tonight’s meetup was about career management. There were amazing questions and a wide variety of experience to be shared. We even roughed out a workshop of tooling for March 2026!
[#100DaysOfCode] Day ??
I probably need to restart my #100DaysOfCode. Maybe after the meetups and conferences next week. I did get an article finished:
dev.to/rfornal/pixe...
[#100DaysOfCode] Day ???
Again, I'm buried - work (awesome), meetup coordination (ColumbusJS), conference planning (TechBash Foundation), mentoring, family, & trying to work on side projects. I haven't moved the needle in a few days.
BTW: Jennifer Fornal passed her Ham Radio Technician exam!!!
[#100DaysOfCode] Day 27
I wrote an article, "Lazy Loading as a Security Measure," at dev.to/rfornal/lazy...; I may consider turning it into a talk.
I also finished my presentation for @momentumdevcon, "Non-Automated Automated Testing." This one's going to be a lot of fun!
[#100DaysOfCode] Day 26
Today, I'm here for #HackColumbus (hack-columbus.com) and created the website attached. I'm watching some talented people come together for a cause. Also, Simon Seow is onsite speaking to the attendees. What an amazing morning!
[#100DaysOfCode] Days 24 & 25
I've been working on a new talk and setting up a Sessionize.com account for QA or the Highway. Apparently, I went to High School 7,974 in the future; they found my picture in a yearbook. The #HamRadio shack is coming along - one antenna to go!
Go take the State of JavaScript 2025 survey if you have a minute! survey.devographics.com/survey/state...
I did take some time to update my notes about "some" of the people I met and chatted with - that's the EXCITING PART; I met so many amazing people. It's honestly a lot to process.
Bob at his desk.
[#100DaysOfCode] Day ...
I got back from the @CommitYourCode last night. Today, I was focused on family and getting everything unpacked and back where it belongs.
[#100DaysOfCode] Days 17-20
I worked on a security issue at work (clean & elegant solution), held the first Columbus BrowserStack Meetup, helped a neighbor stay alive, and worked through a project challenge to build something in 4 days.

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 16
The site looks the same, but the DB to frontend has changed to a more efficient structure. I've got 3 Coffee Chats tonight, planning for the @codemash.bsky.social Conference, planning for meetups, and more. Oh, #HamRadio shack is coming along!
[#100DaysOfCode] Day 8
Today, I worked on the patterns that had eluded me late at night, while exhausted. I have a working solution and now need to implement it.
[#100DaysOfCode] Day 7
Today, I got to work on some code. I'm trying to implement an odd integration between @Cloudflare and @Firebase. This one's been interesting - no luck, so far. I am exhausted which might be slowing things down. Back to the grind ...
Talk code
[#100DaysOfCode] Day 5
Today, I didn't get much done - I did, however, get the outline for my next talk in place. Now, I just need more content.
Overview slide for a new talk.
[#100DaysOfCode] Days 2 & 3
Yesterday, I started a new talk: "Cloudflare for Hackathons." Today, I am heading to Christians in Tech. Slow pace, but fun!
Better visuals of the Talk Presentation Tool.
[#100DaysOfCode] Day 2
Today, I worked on the visuals of my Talk Presentation Tool. I have two new presentations to get done - no major rush. It feels good to be "back in the groove."
Talk Presentation Tool
[#100DaysOfCode] Day 1
I'm healing. Today, I got a chance to write some code for the Talk Presentation tool. Additionally, I have some Coffee Chats tonight!
[#100DaysOfCode] Day 62
Today, I focused on completing the demo portion of the "Ditch Your JavaScript For CSS!" talk. It's a work in progress!!!
[#100DaysOfCode] Day 61
Today, I dug into my talk and created a demo page since there will be a need to show the code variations. Additionally, I've posted a question on the #AmateurRadio #StackExchange about some antennas on my roof. I'll post the link for those into #HamRadio!
