Engineering Practices

Illness is all around. Around 12% of people in Germany are currenly ill through covid, flu or a stomach virus. I have some relatively mild symptoms this week.

The hunt for a new place to live continues, investigating lots of facinating places in Scotland. Discovered an Ecopark with sustainably built housing. There is one house for sale and some new builds in the near future. Requested a build plan for the new build houses.

The editors strike back

Interesting edge cases with evil-cleverparens and another question about choice of editor for complete beginners to programming.

Covid strikes again. Wiped out by the end of the week.

Striving toward consistency

Will feel good to have all Practicalli website content have a consisten look.

Material for MkDocs really helps me convey information effectively (at least in my own view).

Still have a few covid symptoms, but not as much this week. Usually only in the mornings.

Quiet before the storm

Its not as windy as previous weeks, but there is another storm on its way.

Feeling too tired for exercise over the weekend, need to pace myself at work a little better.

Hopefully as the weather gets warmer or at least sunnier it will be easier to do more outside activities.

Warmer weather

Practicalli AstroNvim User Config changed to be as additive as possible, leaving the template as unchanged as possible.

The sunnier weather is a boots to motivation, although its still very windy. At least I can get into the garden without sinking.

Another Saturday morning ride, a tough experience although not completely exhausted afterward.

A new year... a new me

Going back to work for a rest... from all the exercise of winter solstace

Continuing to love using Neovide, although havent figured out how to use Neovide from the MacOSX launcher with AstroNvim. It works fine under Linux.

End of line... for 2023

My personal plans for 2024 are not set in stone, but I would like to relocate to the countryside by the summer.

Predictions for 2024:

  • the year of the AI lawsuits as more companies and individuals realise they content has been used to train AI models without permission or recompense.
  • Anthropocene is declared a new geographic era in the history of the earth, marking the significant change humanity has made to the planet (not for the good).
