I wrote last month that in September, I was planning to:

• Do more consulting (big milestone!)
• Help with Hacklab move

It took lots of long days and late nights, but we did a great job on the major project I was working on in September. Woohoo! I got to use AutoHotkey, NodeJS, and AngularJS in interesting ways, and I helped out a different team too.

Hacklab is now at 1266 Queen Street West, and it's shaping up nicely. I set aside some money to help with kitchen things and with the move. It was good to help with that and to get to know the other folks at Hacklab.

In October, I'm planning to:

• Help with the last big milestone for my consulting client
• Turn over all of my responsibilities and document things I've learned
• Cook at the new Hacklab and explore more recipes at home
• Do my corporate books: this year, I added dividends and HST quick method!
