DRA: A Condition Startup Builders Get ; - )

I'm doing some research on data storage. It's very interesting and complex. Filled with all kinds of lingo I have never heard of, like DRA. That's Durable Reduced Availability storage. I was reading this on Google cloud services. It was also interesting to me that they put it in a bucket. So you have this large amount of data you want to store but you do not need to access it often then you might want the DRA bucket storage. 

If you have a regular bucket of stored data that you need to access more often, well you cannot switch it to DRA if the need changes to rarely used access. I mean you can, but it's not easy. It's a complete download and upload to the DRA bucket. So you have to think of what kind of data storage you really need. The DRA bucket storage is less expensive.

I've spent the day working on Passdown. Had a bunch of different things to do, and I feel like I accomplished nothing. This feeling happens often in a startup build. There you are extremly busy making no money, working hours on end and you do not feel like you had a great day of achievements. 

I think the thing I like best about todays work is learning about DRA. I seem to get some kind of kick out of that statement, as I feel my mind is DRA. It's durable, yet it has reduced availability. Building takes me out of regular life. My mind is consumed by the build and every aspect to get it to the next milestone. In fact the last few years my startup building obsession has lead me to neglect regular chores, like cleaning the house, laundry and making dinner. All those things used to be important to me. I hated having a dirty house. It's amazing to me that I can now live in a dirty house. Dust, unimportant compared to building a great company that helps people. 

I have DRA, a condition imposed on people who build startups. Here is my Christmas tree this year. That's all I could do.
