Lately I have intensified my social life to the detriment of my health. That phrase sounds like it would come out of a drunkard’s mouth but the foe in this case is caffeine. Since I moved to Toowong I found great cafes to have conversations with friends. My favourite is The Boundary Hotel in West …
The last couple of days were fantastic. I was able to change my routines dramatically and get closer to an ideal environment for coding. I’m 100% motivated to get where I want and the more I’m in front of my computer the more it’s clear in my head. I’m also very excited about how much …
Yesterday I had an excellent day of teaching. My classes in Sunshine Coast (Queensland, Australia) aren’t big, but I do have a very loyal student base that makes me very happy.

I’ve broken a negative record and haven’t posted for four days in a row. Not posting was just one of the cracks I had in my routine during the past four days. I’ve also missed two gym days in a row and my bedroom was as disorganised as it’s ever been since I got my …
