Life is actually a very short finite thing.  Each day there are only so many waking hours of which one can only pour in so much energy.  Do you decide to pour it all into useful work, spending time with family, spending time doing nothing but watching television or playing games, or whatever.  The bottom line is that we have to decide how we want to expend that in a way that will make us as contented as we can be.  We will miss the mark obviously but that doesn’t mean that one has to engage in behaviors that they know are moving opposite that direction.

Even though it was another short day on the road it was a productive day.  The Conversations Endpoint’s Messages method got completed shortly after I typed up the previous day’s status message this morning.  I then jumped onto the Streams API.

Being in the early phases of getting the implementation started it was inevitable I would encounter a little extra inertia to overcome.  Part of that is my own doing, but all of it is important to have confidence in what I’m developing.  The easiest part was filling out the API Implementation Stoplight chart so everyone, including me, can track what is going on with the development.  Then it was on to a fork in the road of sorts: do I want to start an external test harness now or wait until more is implemented.  I decided for former.
