Having had most of the week off, it’s been a nice change in pace and also just very relaxing not having to check my calendar and see where I’m meant to be for the day. Most of the time, a week feels like long enough a break. Not this time though! I think I left it waaaaaayyyy too long and hence I’m already planning the next one!
During this time, I picked up learning programming yet again with Python as the language of choice. There’s an awesome course that I’ve been doing which breaks down the concepts simply to the point where a beginner like myself can jump in and learn the basics quickly.
While it’s hard to see on the low quality GIF above, this is the few lines of code I was proud of yesterday. It basically is an algorithm that lets my little red robot start from the far left bottom corner and “jump” over the random hurdles to the finish flag. It seems to give me immense satisfaction seeing some of the coding work!
Finally, after months, Chandra and I are starting to record podcasts slightly ahead of schedule so that we can have a ore consistent release schedule! Today’s one was a regular episode that should be out next week!
On the cat front, I have been having a bunch of naps in the afternoon only to wake and find one of the cats fast asleep on me! Most of the time it’s been Luna as expected, but even Gary has been getting in on the action.
I’m truly hoping that by October, the vaccinations rates means that we can at least travel around locally in Australia. This week was a nice little break, but I’m certain that I need a longer, more sustained break to a) do more programming but also b) go on hikes and c) catch up on a whole bunch of things like photography and editing videos!
