Winding down

I’m winding down my freelancing business over the next few weeks to take on a permanent role. It’s been fun over the last six years, but I think I prefer the stability of regular hours and pay.

I haven’t given up on going solo though, I’m still considering running my own business in the future. It will have less of an emphasis on the selling of services though and more of an emphasis on selling a product.

Two weeks straight using Visual Studio Code and I have to say, I am definitely won over this time. Performance has been consistent and the extensions available are much better than other communities. Built-in terminal is quite nifty too!

Any suggestions on a name for my new programming blog? I’m setting one up just to catch notes and findings as I work. Nothing language specific, trying to keep it general so I switch between languages.

Now seems as good a time as any to not only reboot the blogging habit, but also a number of other little things that have slipped by in the last few months.

I just pasted some text into Grammarly’s app and it couldn’t find a thing wrong with it. Not a damn thing.

Listening to Banquet from Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm album. One of those albums that is perfect from start to finish. 🎵

As great as it is to be on holiday and having a change of scenery, there’s always the familiar comfort of getting home after a holiday.

I love this time of year when Comic-Con is on. You get a bumper load of trailers for what’s coming on the small and big screen in the next 12 months. So much great stuff to look forward too.
