I’ve been a laptop user early in my life, I love the form factor. Up until now, I haven’t ever had a keboard break, or a keycap missing. I knew these were really common problems I just didn’t encounter. For me, it wasn’t normal to be loosing keys, and whenever I saw a laptop without […]

El tiempo como un lugar
El otro día, mientras descansaba un rato de las tareas rutinarias acostado en el sillón, un pensamiento de los tantos que pasan por la mente se alojó en ella más tiempo del promedio, volviéndose una reflexión: me quedan 10 minutos hasta que toque la próxima actividad. ¿Cómo es que “me quedan” 10 minutos? Empecé a […]
Always soft delete
I’ve been recently working on two tasks that involved cleaning up some data. It being duplicate records, or entries that shouldn’t be there now (for one reason or another). How would I know I deleted the right data? that’d be easy to check, as data to be removed was already identified. It’s not there anymore? […]
Underestimating the sentimental impact of being ill
I’ve been recently under the weather, having “the flu”. I’ve been feeling like crap. To be honest, not much of this crap feeling was due to physical pain or discomfort; tiredness, muscle pain, sore throat…you might experience them even during light training sometimes. I can push through that. But emotional discomfort, oh my, what a […]
20240531: Debugging pub/sub locally

The problem was data being corrupted intermittently at some point of the many subscribers (or the publisher? 🤔). And by corruption I […]
On sharing my notes: depurposifying my blog
I’m still working towards a system for sharing my notes, which are now outdated; and that’s the actual problem. I’m noticing that the notes I upload get instantly outdated. I found it kind of silly to expect my daily notes to be static. Maybe they’ll be, once the term has finished, once I move on […]
The Cathedral, the Bazaar, and The Pillars of the Earth
Looking for a book to read, after finishing “After Dark” by Murakami in a bored-for-five-pages entertained-for-the-next-five kind of fashion, I stumbled upon “The Pillars of the Earth” by Ken Follett, thanks to Goodreads’ association to “The Name of the Rose”, a book I’ve been pleased by. I was surprised with how much I was relating […]

After my first class I went to a couple more classes, concluding the first week. Initially I was planning on doing one post per class, but that’s just not possible on my current schedule, and any hour I can add to my sleeping schedule is appreciated. Let’s see how it goes for making one post […]
