I had a great 2016! Like any year, there are always ups and downs, but I really enjoy reflecting back on everything, especially the positive things I’ve accomplished. It’s incredible how much you can do in a year! Here are the highlights.
Personal
A complete focus on health, exercise, and wellness completely transformed me for the better. I feel a million times better mentally, sleep better, and have the best mobility/strength in years. There’s much more work to do be done, but that’s OK - 2016 was all about laying the foundation. It’s a marathon, not a race, after all!
This past weekend, I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 10.2. All was well, until I happened to open one of my PhoneGap apps and saw some weird freezing issues. Upon further investigation, they were Content Security Policy issues, seen in Console output as:
Refused to load frame ‘gap://ready’ because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: “default-src *”.
For reference, in PhoneGap Build, I’m using PhoneGap version cli-6.3.0 (iOS 4.2.0 / Android 5.2.1 / Windows 4.4.1).
“No worries on PTO/working-offline around the holidays…we’ll work something out that fits your schedule.”
I had just nervously spent 30 minutes crafting the perfect email, asking my new manager (whom I had yet to meet) about time off and working remotely during the holidays. Above is his quick, one line response. Could it really be that simple? It was late October 2015, and I was about to start a new role at Slalom. Due to coordinating flights home with family, I wanted to get ahead of the question. As it turned out, it really was that simple!
