Self Update: End of Year 2023

Published on 2023-12-27 16:44:00+01:00 +

This has been an... interesting year. I was too lazy and wasted too much time on unnecessary stuff, but I don't want +to linger and kick myself as I lay down. Last three months I have been slowly going through what I did, what I want to +do, how I want to do these things, what do I find fun, what is useful, what is not. This process is still ongoing. Heck, +I don't think it should ever end. Still, for now, it's enough. It's time to act upon it. I already started, otherwise I +wouldn't want to share it, because that would be only idle pointless talking. +

I did good. When I could I did what I wanted. I'll do better.

Recently, I started reading second edition of Extreme Programming Explained by Kent Beck. What a book! I'm happy that +I started buying and reading not-translated-to-Polish books. I enjoyed TDD and talks by Kent, but XP really delivered. +I'm really disappointed how they just glanced around it back at the university. +

XP and this "contemplation" period made me want to read Enchiridion again. Coincidentally +Pewdiepie recently mentioned it, so it seems like it will be +the next thing I read. If you never read these (XP, TDD, Enchiridion), I highly recommend each one. Even if you already +know the terms. +

Other books and comics, fiction, I read these year are mostly works of William Gibson, Mamare Touno, Douman Seiman, +Q-Hayashida, Alastair Reynolds, Ursula K. LeGuin, Frank Herbert (again, I guess), and John Brunner. I wait for new +translations of Alastair Reynolds. I have been keeping an eye on secondhand/antique (book) shops, too, since e.g., +Robert Silverberg's works have been translated and published in 90s and 00s and it doesn't seem like anyone intends to +publish them again for now. +

I decided to take a longer break from EVE Online. The longer I don't play, the more I see how I was depending on it +terribly. Shame. +

What now? Well, I'm not telling details. I did last time and I didn't deliver. I want to deliver the +waterspout radar and write something about the journey it was. This version will use Icon-EU model directly and work +more similar to the dashboard at NOAA's SWPC site than anything else. Overall, I want to "focus on the blog". Not just +the maintenance and finally getting you guys an ability to provide comments, feedback and patches (if you have anything +now, send me an email), but anything that let's me write something interesting here. I want to take small steps +that let me write things. I have many lingering unfinished projects, experiments and issues that I want to work on. +

And I will. +

By the way, I finally added atom feed. It's generated in a... curious way. Let's see how it does. +
