Started reading: The Ember Blade (The Darkwater Legacy) by Chris Wooding 📚

I am reading the German translation. I am in chapter 4 and unsure. On the one hand everything told up to this point is pretty banal/mundane. On the other I am already in chapter 4. Something keeps me reading.

Finished reading: Assassin’s Quest by Robin Hobb 📚 I sat and just couldn’t put it down. Read until past 1am. It was moving and a great final chapter for the trilogy. Now I am asking myself whether I should pick up the next trilogy in the line or read something else first. 🤔

My stream is about to start today. I will run it for about 75 minutes now. Today I’ll try to use GitHub Copilot as a coding buddy. www.twitch.tv/5minpause

Today there won’t be a stream as I have a terrrible cold and I don’t want to share my sniffing and sneazing with you all 🤧 😷 🤒

Another day, another stream

Yesterday I’ve streamed for another 2 hours. While I started with a “Just Chatting” segment, I quickly turned to programming again. Not least because I was only chatting with myself 😂.

Eventually I started with implementing an algorithm for “rolling weeks” in my chores app. Have a look to find out what that is about 😉

In a few minutes my stream will be live again. Today it’s mostly chatting, maybe a bit of programming. Would really make my day if you dropped by and stayed to chat a bit.

Today’s stream went quite well again. I started with fixing an algorithm which was hard to get correct for me, yesterday. Afterwards, I continued working on my chores app for a bit. The stream was a bit shorter today and I had two people taking part through the chat.

Currently reading: The Art of Gig 2: Superstructures by Venkatesh Rao 📚 The book has no cover here to show you, unfortunately. I am already in chapter 8 and will share a few thoughts about the contents soon. For indie consultants this sparks quite a few thoughts and poses interesting questions.

Finished reading: Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb 📚

I’ll be starting my stream now www.twitch.tv/5minpause

Good morning from snowy Berlin.

I will start streaming now www.twitch.tv/5minpause 🎉

I don’t know whether I made a mistake but submitting my reply to your post didn’t seem to work @V_ ? The form to submit a comment on your site didn’t really work?

I want to clearly speak out that I don’t share DHH’s views or opinions. I love working with Ruby on Rails and will continue using it for my clients and on my projects. Since Rails has been the product of many clever minds over the years, I do not think that using it endorses shitty people.

Wonderful sunrise over Berlin today

Spent 2.5hours streaming today

I spent 2.5hours streaming today. Last year I took up streaming and did around 2 hours in total. Today I just continued and didn’t stop until it I had to take a break 🚽🫣.

Since I am still waiting on hearing back from from the Pinboard.in creator about their API status, I used the time I had to work on a new ap idea of mine. It’s about an app to manage the chores in our house and who’s doing what. We had a system to manage it for about two years now. Our old method used pen and paper and we reached its limit. The new app will hopefully let work better.

The streaming was fun. I didn’t have anybody watching the stream. But I didn’t mind. I did receive my first at spam comment though! 🥳 I regard that as progress: A first step out of irrelevance 😂

Since I am without client projects right now for reasons I will get into later, I simply will use the time to stream and build my app.

If you want to have a look within the next days:

Merry Christmas 😘

Unser Bad Renovierungsprojekt dauert länger als gedacht. Immerhin sind wir heute voran gekommen. Die letzten 2,5 Wochen mussten wir vor allem auf das Trocknen von Wand und Boden warten. Heute war Abdichten dran. Morgen wird gefliest!
