Gaming

I'm working on a TUI app for managing games. It is heavily inspired by todo.txt and will obviously be called games.txt. I've had enough of keeping track of things in shitty google sheets. This is a local, keyboard driven solution, emphasis on speed and privacy. V0.1 should be out soon. I'm way more excited about this than it's justified. I'm enjoying Grand Theft Auto 5 on Playstation.

Learning

Enjoying Harvard's CS50 course on Youtube by the brilliant David J. Malan. The prof has a clear understanding of what makes a presentation engaging. A bit too high energy for me personally, but his teaching style is just absolutely incredible. Everyone will profit from going through the CS50 course, because it helps to think like a programmer.

No Alcohol

I'm not drinking alcohol between October 2024 and January 2025 - a nice, 3 month break. It's only been 2 weeks, but I see enourmous benefits: much cleaner head, I'm way less irritable and funnily, weekends seem longer. And because I like suffering, I might cut out other, supposedly, bad things from my life temporarily: hot food and coffee come to mind. We'll see.
