The week of Aug 7, 2017 – Aug 13, 2017
Work, hobby project and reading …
Monday: Minor fender bender on the way to work. No harm done to either car, the other car didn’t even stop. Played squash with Dawie. Admin, Coursera work. Watched a bit of the partial lunar eclipse.
Tuesday: Started work on a Codeproject article to document my concave hull hobby project.
Wednesday: Public holiday. A very productive day. Mostly spent working on my hobby project. But also did some DIY jobs, got to gym, and finished reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt.
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Absolutely engrossing, though dark and unsettling. Good characterisations and a riveting plot.
Thursday: Library visit. 10 minutes in the library but 2 hours in the traffic getting there and home again. Side project work.
Friday: Grocery shopping. Coursera work. This week’s Coursera work has been the toughest yet of the data structures specialisation.
Saturday: Getting my side project ready for a code project submission is a classic example of the 80/20 principle where 80% of the time is getting it from satisfactory to completion. Lunch with mom and reading on the sofa. Watched The Breakfast Club on ShowMax. Good 80s fun.
Sunday: Gym spin class. Lunch with mom at Bihari, Newlands. Slow afternoon didn’t reading. Chores, etc.
My work was divided into: 80% testing, 20% bug fixing.
Podcasts listened to this week: Tim Ferriss #257; CppCast; HanselMinutes; How I Built This (x2); Red Hot Poker; TED Radio Hour; Making It;
