Crikey! I just climbed out from under my rock and realised I have not updated this since they invented sliced bread… You would not believe that I actually have a life. Please don’t abandon me!.
I am absolutely consumed with finding Jesus (after someone told me he was lost), personal projects, just [...]

Note: nothing I say here is new, it’s just an annoying thing that started to bug me again recently.
Although spam checking and spell checking should be different enough they are much closer for most of spam emails, comments and other types of communication.

Wondering if writing them down will mean better chances of actually getting some of them done.
For now the current list which is a work in progress:
Move to Git as my SCM for anything personal and also try it for work
Do lots more Python
Contribute somehow to an open-source project
More conferences, more trips
Get agile
More small projects
More blogging

I have always liked small projects.
Small projects in my opinion:
Small, focused idea, no junk/waste.
Small team, no extras, all team members have leading roles.

In primul rand ceva background story: Nu-mi plac cainii strazii, cei care se leaga de tine, ii vezi ca umbla in haite, etc.
Si totusi azi mergand spre casa, pe ultimii 400 de metri [...]

Well it’s complicated… I got into the having a lot of ideas/annoyances mood again so I want to write down everything so I don’t forget.
