A few misses
It’s been a while since the last post but I had a couple of things that took me away from writing: A Christmas concert with the choir and my job which is highly demanding in this period. More, I was finding difficult to find a good subject so I guess that sometimes is it ok to put out something that I found interesting?

To Feed or not Too Feed
Recently I started reading about the Indie Web movement, which is a people-focused alternative to the corporate owned one, and it really struck a chord.

We thus had the following problem: After creating a game with a certain duration and a certain number of periods, the UI was always displaying 90 minutes and 2 periods of 45 minutes.

Writing in a Rainy Day
Today I’m writing from a soggy Sheffield and this is probably the right time to open the laptop and start thinking about what to say. Finding the right topics is not an easy task, especially for someone that’s not used to “common” writing - I do write a lot of code during the day though :smile: - and therefore I’m always scared of a blank page and that’s why I usually start by adding the
