I found reference to this great poem while reading Michelle Malkin’s Who Built That: Awe Inspiring Storeis of American Tinkerpreneurs.

“Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman” is less written and more a transcript of him telling stories. There was a light at the end of the tunnel though, in this singularly genius passage (my emphasis added):

Lead me, Master of the soaring vault
Of Heaven, lead me, Father, where you will.
I stand here prompt and eager to obey.
And ev’n suppose I were unwilling, still
I should attend you and know suffering,
Dishonourably and grumbling, when I might
Have done so and been good as well. For Fate
The willing leads, the unwilling drags along.

It appears that over time, applications I use tend to mysteriously lose functionality when they are “updated” or “new” versions are released. Yes, I use Apple Inc. products. The latest seems to be the inability to set GPS data in photographs that don’t already contain them. Apple’s new Photos application completely lacks the feature and Aperture (no longer being updated) will not allow modification of the originals. Hence, there I was, just back from a trip around the Grand Canyon with a bunch of photos that needed to be Geo-tagged and no easy way to do it.

Today iOS version of the Portland Women’s History Trail went live in the Apple AppStore.

Late last week the Android version of the Portland Women’s History Trail went live in the Google play.

There are a number of quirky tasks to complete when you get ready to publish an app in either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. They are not the type of thing I, as a developer, usually think about when starting a project. As the Portland Women’s History Trail gets nearer to “submission ready,” I’ve steadily chopped away at that list, but the first major task was making a fundamentally HTML/CSS/JavaScript application work when bundled and offline took a bit of research and ultimately, doing things the “right way.”
