  • Software efficiency: The programmer’s time vs additional overhead.

    A few ideas have been rolling around in my head for quite some time so I thought I may as well put them out there – I could very much be wrong (most likely) but I’ll ‘put them to paper’ then see how embarrassed I am within a few years. A topic that I see…

  • A really good start to the weekend.

    I went to sleep last night, slept in until around 12 noon, woke up, had something to eat for lunch then headed down the road to pick up a few essentials and then got in contact with mum regarding what was happening. Had a chat with mum and it turns out that my sister had…

  • Back into the weekend.

    The weekend has finally arrived – finished work today then went for my nightly walk and picked a couple of sandwiches for dinner then came back home, watched some videos while eating dinner. It was a long week but I think this coming week will be a lot easier – getting back into the routine…

  • Almost there, one day to go.

    Another day at work and then went for a my usual walk. I really do love this time of year, not too hot, not too cold, a cool breeze, things aren’t too chaotic around where I live and I’m looking forward to a few work get togethers over the next couple of weeks and then…

  • Two more days to go.

    Work today was uneventful and after all that I went for my usual 11.6km walk which funny enough I did quicker than 1 hour and 50 minutes. I received a text message from my doctor regarding a 3 monthly blood test to keep track of how things are progressing to ensure that there isn’t any…

  • Going on three days.

    Keeping on track with the third day going for a walk – I decided to spice it up a bit and change where I walked tonight. It is good to make changes so then it isn’t the same old same old. Taking each day at a time and set goals that are achievable rather than…

  • It felt good getting back into a routine.

    I finished work then headed off for a 11.6km power walk which I did in around 1 hour and 50 minutes then I arrived home, had a big glass of cool water then jumped into the shower. I love this time of the year where it isn’t too hot and you can go for a…

  • And now for something completely different.

    I thought I may as well add do another post before I head off to bed. Today was a good day in terms of sticking to my diet – one thing I made sure of this week was making sure that I had a good variety of food at home which avoids being tempted to…

  • Another weekend gone too quickly.

    Back to work tomorrow – the weekend always ends up finishing too quickly but on a good side I did turn it into a productive time off. On Monday I walked down to the local bakery for some eggs bene with salmon and spinach for brunch, picked up a few sweet treats from the display…

  • I think Saturday will be night off.

    The combination of drunk people stumbling home from the local pub and people letting of fireworks I decided to have a quiet night in and then go for a walk Sunday night when things are a little bit quieter. On a good side I finally found that annoying soft drink can that was being blowing…
