    Kudos to everybody at the #daily-stand-up

    1. 1

      Any recommendations for Swift tutorials?

      1. 1

        I wish. Am writing Process Describer in Delphi. Had already paid for that, so figured why not do it "quickly". Not sure about that choice being quickly now as I do keep on bumping into problems doing things I consider rather basic.

        Might do a rewrite in Swift after it is published.

    @helengriffinjr. (Laughing!) What happened?

    1. 1

      So did you do glam camping? I think that's what the kids call it. lol

      1. 1

        (Laughing!) Depends on how you define glam. We do dispersed camping or BYOB (bring your own bathroom). It was great reprieve.

        1. 1

          😂 BYOB that just remained me of an episode on the black lady sketch show where they went to a soul food restaurant and it was a bring your own utensils.

          I only do resort-like camping. lol I'm glad you got a chance to relax.

    2. 1

      What do you mean?

      1. 3

        I think @Janice might have missed your daily stand-up posts. I guess the tagging might have gone wrong.

        1. 1

          Thanks, @vimalin for clarification.

        2. 1

          This! I didn't see your stand ups?

          1. 1

            Oh, okay... yeah I did Saturday and Sunday. I posted them from IH homepage and I used the hashtag. Idk what happened.

          2. 1

            I missed the Saturday version. It probably was there, but I was too busy to find it.
