Updates

A few days ago I stumbled upon a post somewhere that said about starting a log book for work so they could see where their time had been spent. I thought this was a neat idea so I took to starting my own. Problem is that even though a text or markdown file would have more than sufficed, I took this as an oportunity to learn some LaTeX. After an evening or so’s fiddling about, I am proud to show you the template for my logbook (which could easily be adapted into a diary):

I have finally managed to get my blog migrated from Statamic into Hugo. With the frequency with which I update my blog these days, having that full engine just seemed wasteful. Lets see how this pans out.

First off a quite update. I got two days into writing a new post every night and then had a small family emergency on the third night in so I put a temporary hold on them. I am starting them back up again now. Now for the fun bit. Problem Solving. This post is not all about the process of problem solving and the processes you can apply, it’s more about just using your brain.

Todays post is not code related but about the mentality with which I code at my optimal. Recently I have noticed when working that the size of my work list directly correlates to the speed with which I work. Basically if I have a short list I seem to work a lot more slowly than if I have long list. This problem doesn’t exist for me when working in proper sprints because I have a deadline and know when I am about to get more work.

Hello everyone! From today I am going to start trying to write a blog post every day. Even if it’s just a small paragraph or two. I’m doing this so that I can have a sort of journal and to get back into the habbit of blogging the fun experiments I get up to, both with writing software and fiddling with hardware. There will be frequent updates to my website as I start to get more into developing this as a thing.

I’ve been pretty lapse in writing posts for this blog in the past year! I’ve also had my first child, the two seem to go hand in hand! I want to take up weekly posts again, but I think fortnightly (every two weeks for you Americans) will be a more achievable goal. The posts will mostly be about programming still but now with a healthy dose of DIY. Thank you for the continued reading!

This is my first post on my new blog! I’ve managed to port all of my old ones across but there might be some small formatting errors on them. Next week I will have a new post up with my full stack, Cordova, Angular, Erlang and RaspberryPi remote control. Looking forward to finishing it up this week!
