Monthly review: July 2015

Posted: - Modified: | monthly, review

Last month, I

that in July, I wanted to:

  • Continue to take things easy: Yep, definitely did that. Lots of sleep and video games.
  • Enjoy hermit mode: It's wonderful.
  • Focus on coding, cooking, and reading: My team won third place at an internal hackathon, yay!
  • Walk as often as possible: Yup, did a fair bit of walking
  • Water the grass and do some more gardening: The boulevard grass is a little brown, but the backyard is flourishing nicely.

My weekly reviews tell me I actually got a fair bit of programming in, which surprises me because I mostly remember July as sleep, Borderlands, and very little writing. It turns out that I worked a lot more because of the hackathon. I also did a little bit of Javascript and Emacs Lisp for personal projects, too. Neat.

This turned out to be a month of experimenting with posting twice a week: a weekly review, and another post. I prefer more frequent writing, and I'm looking forward to getting back into the groove of that as my brain returns.

I think August will be a good month for working on household projects and getting things ready. Maybe more writing and drawing, too!
