The fun part about being a programmer, is that sometimes to get something working you fall into that “Hal fixing a lightbulb” ADHD moment, which feels all too familiar to us ADHD folks.

I’ve got MonicaHQ setup and working. But I can’t get it to process my large, almost 25MB vCard file. So now I get to write a script that parses the VCF files, and imports them via an API in-bulk.

Finally got Monica fully populated and setup, now to remember to actually use it.

Now that this distraction project is done, maybe I should get back to redoing my personal site.

And for anyone who finds this, MonicaHQ has an Artisan command for importing large vCard files. Don’t let my waste of time catch you up.
