For the first few weeks my partner and I will be moving house, but afterwards I have some time to myself. I plan to use this time being a fun, happy-go-lucky, man about the house. Primarily, this involves resting, playing, engaging in hobbies, and cooking good food.
The temptation is to write an enormous to-do list, but I want to actively avoid the mind-state of doing. I am here to be and stuff will get done I suppose – I am not really bothered. Thus I will be doing being.
I want to spend some time being a home-programmer.
I have some web utility ideas that I want to dabble in. I have a couple of Raspberry Pis that I plan to play with. I also want to sharpen up this site a bit, possibly finishing the unit tests and making the code public, maybe.
There's also a thought about replacing the Angular front-end. I initially developed this blog with a Django back-end and an Angular front-end in order to teach myself Angular. What I have learned is that I hate it, and it is definitely overkill for this use case. Besides, the more complexity that gets added to these frameworks the harder they are to maintain. I am toying with the idea of rewriting it as class-based views in Django, with only vanilla javascript to add some pop.
Should be fun!
