Finished: "Build a Pomodoro Clock"

Finished the "Build a Pomodoro Clock" assignment. Kept a work log: it took me only 15 hours total, but those hours were stretched over two months (Sep 16-Nov 15).

A lot of other life change work was accomplished in those two months, though. I feel much more ready, in some unnameable way. No longer fresh off the boat, an alien in coderland. No longer a preschooler. Maybe a third grader now? :)

Or: I kinda know what I am doing. The gist of it. My brain no longer hurts. Now it is just about gaining practice and speed.

Date I started FreeCodeCamp: May 8, 2015. Eighteen months ago.
Date I started this "Hour of Code" project: June 23, 2014. Two years, four months ago.

Finishing that first FCC Certificate, especially in context with the other life changes, will be a milestone.

Not there yet.

Still to go: Plus:
  • Algorithm task I choked on last time
  • Formal approval of certificate by FCCamp
  • General cleanup of past work
