One of the things I’ve been great at is finding new little side projects to work on. I find a project, start it, think up another project, abandon my current side project to start the next one, only to repeat the process all over again. Needless to say, this doesn’t exactly leave me with much to show for it all.
The U.S. Supreme Court looks to be preparing to
overturn the Chevron Doctrine and heaven help us all.
This past weekend while I was lifting, I was listening to a
JS Party podcast episode from April 2023 (yes, I’m that far behind) talking about the new color ranges.
Back in mid-November I bought the
Moonlander Ergonomic Keyboard from ZSA. I had been giving serious consideration to getting a split keyboard and finally pulled the trigger.
I’m a big fan of RSS feeds. I believe that everyone who has a blog or a personal site should have one set up so that others can consume their content. The one downside is that when you open the RSS link in your browser, it renders as XML which can be confusing, especially to those who might not know what RSS or XML is.
Yesterday, January 9, 2024 my wife and I had to say goodbye to our sweet cat Cookie. She was 14 1/2 years old.
Over the last year plus, I’ve been trying to figure out the best way I want to handle my notes. I’ve been bouncing between apps trying to decide what app I want to use. I’ve been hoping I would be able to find a single app to handle both quick notes and longer form pieces like blog posts.
One thing you might have recently noticed is there is now a new header option called “Notes” on my site. I saw
Jim Nielsen’s notes page and liked the idea so I decided to implement my own version.
When writing C# code, I often use dependency injection to inject the various services and repositories I need in the class I’m working on. Sometimes that would end up making the top of the classes rather “busy”. C# 12 has introduced a new way to make constructors and I love it.
December kind of sucked. Halfway through the month, I caught bronchitis, and it took me 2 weeks to finally kick it to the curb. This completely curtailed the Christmas festivities as I definitely did not want to spread this to anyone else.
I read more books in 2023 than I have in any year since I started keeping track. I generally enjoyed most of them but there were some “meh” (at least to me) books as well.
Sometimes I find it hard to just sit down and watch TV. It’s why my backlog is quite long.
