I’m using a book called “The Pragmatic Programmers Learn to Program” in the “Facets of Ruby” series. I’ve done very simple programs so far, but doing that has really increased my confidence in becoming more “techie.” I think learning the basics of programming will be a boost to my career as a technical writer.

I want a dog so badly but I don’t have stable employment and I live in a small apartment that doesn’t allow dogs anyway. A common theme for all my goals is that they all hinge on having more money thus better employment. I don’t know if this is a problem of perception (we live in a society that focuses on money to a pathological extent) or if it really is just that I need to prioritize career goals above all else.
