Day 101: An extra day of code

Added more 4Clojure solutions

def supports a doc-string (I missed that ability previously).

Emacs Window management when running tests in Cider with Spacemacs.

The Logitech MX Ergo trackball mouse arrived today and it is so nice to use. Its a trackball so the mouse itself stays static on the desk avoiding the need to move my hand around and therefore reducing RSI. Using a trackball also means very little space is use. The trackball is tilted so the hand is in a natural and more comfortable position, the same position I configured with my tented Model01 keyboard.

Day 100: 4Clojure

100 days of code challenge completed. Was it worth it? Well yes, it got me coding almost every day, and overall I certainly achieved more than 100 hours of coding, more like several 100 hours of coding.

I didnt do was work on a specific project every day, but that would have felt more like work and I enjoyed having a break from that routine.

Will I do a 100 days of code challenge again? Not sure, its quite a hard thing to be consistent with. I will certainly keep a developer journal from now on as it has been very useful.

4Clojure solution

Write up of the 4Clojure exercises I covered in yesterdays Clojure study group broadcast.

Popped out for a few essentials in the last day I am prepared to go shopping before the holidays :)

Day 98: Coaching and 4Clojure 53

Continued coaching one of my regular students

Took Poppy (one of my cats) to the vets for a checkup. Apart from a some plaque build Poppy is fine. More toothpaste and teeth cleaning for Poppy.

Cycled into Wagamama Southbank for another coaching session, getting my teeth stuck into 4Clojure challenge #53, a tricky one eventually solved with partition and partition-by.

Day 94 - Coaching and Emacs talk at Linux in London

Cycled into London today on the Brompton and my Tannus tyres still going strong. I finally got a moment to clean them too.

Another very productive coaching day in Wagamama today, covering the inside out approach to writing Clojure. I pushed 3 out of the 6 exercise we completed to Github.

Cycled over to SkillsMatter to give (finish writing) my Emacs for your digital life talk for Linux in London community.
