Day 101: An extra day of code

Thoughts for today

Added more 4Clojure solutions

Got a Logitech MX Ergo trackball mouse today and it is so nice to use. It is a trackball, so the mouse itself stays static on the desk meaning I dont need to move my hand around and reducing RSI. It also means I dont need a lot of space to use the mouse either. The trackball is tilted so my hand is in more comfortable position, the same position I maintain with my tented Model01 keyboard.

Day 100: 4Clojure

Thoughts for today

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.

Day 98: Coaching and 4Clojure 53

Thoughts for today

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

Thoughts for today

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.
