Well, I managed to learn a new programming language good enough to complete a paid project. Holy shit imagine that.  49 year old carpenter learns nodejs in 75 days and lands a job.

I beat the first payment from so-called unemployment insurance.  There's nothing like having to wait 6 weeks for a 'determination' if you're eligible for something you already paid for.

I can't wait till one of these 10 different Basic Income ideas really kicks into gear.  It would be nice to relax and learn at a slower pace, or at least just learn shit I want to learn for myself.

At least it's a cool programming job (with a touch of blockchain sprinkled in for good measure).  I can't tell anybody what it is - stupid NDA, but it is in a fairly large size market-cap sector.

I just gotta keep hammerin on.

So I figured out the super slick nodejs scraper w/cheerio pattern , and sprinkle in some free proxies and I can get just about any data anyone could ever need. 

So the next steps are - 
1) always remember to love the Mrs. - she keeps all the other shit rollin so I can keep rollin.

2)build upload page  - allow customer to upload their own datasets to crawl.

3)build database view/download page - allow customer access to data

4)set up better dev/prod environment (i.e git that shit to publish via ssh)

5)now i really need bigger drives - running out of storage space

Well - thats my quick recap for the year so far.

**The easiest way to help the broke carpenter is an upvote and maybe a resteem.**

The next best way is to sign up for the fucking fastest dex on the planet - bitshares - https://wallet.bitshares.org/?r=rxhector2k5


and there is always the good ol' just send it to a wallet

### projects you may end up funding
* better server
* better network equipment (better switch/router) 
* better drives (need storage space on servers - thinking about a boinc node)

* future servers/vms
* need to run a bitshares node
* need to run a steemit node
* investigate eos
	
* colocation = $650/mo
* server = ????; (cluster @$5k/ea)
* bills = $2k/mo

unemployment ain't gonna fix that

i got a few website/gamification ideas - but need to get network and nodes running better before jumping back to development environment
