for the most part, my sinus infection is over–still dealing with residual stuffiness and congestion, but it feels like allergies now which i can handle. currently reading Extreme Cities by Ashley Dawson.
very well, if only because today’s a public holiday. also, i’ve gotten some really nice reading experiences recently after a very long dry spell and that’s pretty great too!
Painfully learning for my ham radio license. Exam is on the 23rd and I’m learning impaired by job, motivation and other responsibilities…
I’m stuck on a project for university, the last one before I can start writing my Master’s thesis, where I can’t make any progress - when I’m out walking, I have the solution (code) clearly in mind, but as soon as I get a keyboard in front of me, my mind fades and I can’t come up with anything.
Also, after visiting a book fair last week, I finally got back to reading, currently the Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy and the comics from the Avatar: The Last Airbender series.
I am delighted with my first harvest of the year, radishes to be precise. Now I am thinking about what to plant next in the newly available space.
…I have the solution (code) clearly in mind, but as soon as I get a keyboard in front of me, my mind fades and I can’t come up with anything.
I used to earn a living writing code and dealt with something similar to this…it felt like writer’s block to me…in hindsight I’m not sure what it was.
One day I was having a satisfying bowel movement and the solution to a coding problem just popped into my head out of nowhere. To explain, I was sitting on the toilet taking a shit and wasn’t thinking about coding at all.
So, I decided that whenever I got stuck with code I would just walk away from the computer and go about my day. Many times I would do this, and while doing something mundane, the solution would just pop into my head out of nowhere.
Good luck on your Master’s thesis.

That’s super relatable 😂

So do I. But unfortunately the solution is gone once I start writing again. However, after letting out my frustration yesterday, it finally clicked :D
Good luck on your Master’s thesis.
Thank you very much :-)
