Up to Main Index Up to Journal for April, 2024 JOURNAL FOR TUESDAY 30TH APRIL, 2024 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: It’s the little things… DATE: Wed 1 May 00:01:53 BST 2024 This is usually where I start to apologise profusely for not writing anything or for not working on WolfMUD or some such… I’m not going to this time. I made a conscious decision not to write or work on WolfMUD, for a while. The last couple of months have been absolutely awful. Too many things needing immediate attention all at once. Then an unexpected, seriously expensive bill. Family stuff. I really didn’t know which way to turn or if I should cry or scream at the top of my lungs… On top of that work has been… quiet. I’ve been keeping myself busy with some Google Cloud Platform training courses. Somewhat interesting, but it’s not programming. I am a programmer. I program. I have done for a very long time. I needed some serious, quiet time just for me. I needed a complex programming problem to sink my teeth into. Something to fire up the old grey matter and get the creative juices flowing again. So that is what I did. Just over two weeks ago I found myself a nice little programming project — and I’ve been having an absolutely wonderful time. What am I working on? Sorry, not telling, yet. But I’m happier now than I have been in a very long while :) -- Diddymus Up to Main Index Up to Journal for April, 2024
