Botched the audio implementation and had to start over from scratch with the archived code, but that it worked at all (albeit badly) is still better than I would have expected (and on the bright side, I now know how to bootstrap an SDL project with batch files[1] which is so much easier than doing it through Visual Studio's GUI.)
Apart from that, nothing of consequence.
Work-related: - Spoke at a conference for the first time (React.js Conf) [1] - Released my first serious open-source project (an isomorphic React app server) [2] - The project I've been building was demoed to some executives and put our team in a really good spot. Other cool stuff: - Started buying furniture and accessories to make my room feel like home. I've always been hesitant to own large items because I've move…
I think taking that step to make your home more 'home' is a very good one, even though it might feel like it doesn't fit your lifestyle. And I suspect the consequences are generally not as big as they feel.
Congrats on the fancy bed!
After giving notice back in September, I went full-time into my own startup on the 16th of January. While I absolutely loved my job at The Control Group (they're hiring btw!), I've made so much progress on what was my side project. It's called Pleenq, and it's an extension that allows you to highlight objects within images and link them to where they can be purchased. I made a quick demo video of using it on my faceb…
I had some experience with Angular for making internal dashboards and there I believe it shines, but for regular websites it makes some normally trivial things unnecessary complex - think SEO, back button, rss etc.
I plan to write a detailed blogpost about it but until then you can ping me if you want to know more about my experiences. Happy to chat.
Also started doing a nice trick - get a cool glass bottle, fill it up with water in the morning + some lemons slices and place it on your work desk. Makes hydration so much easier.

I recently bought my first non-cactus plant, which is a big deal for me since I managed to let two cactii die in the past. It's a bonsai tree (ficus), so it needs extra care. I think taking that step to make your home more 'home' is a very good one, even though it might feel like it doesn't fit your lifestyle. And I suspect the consequences are generally not as big as they feel. Congrats on the fancy bed!

Good luck with your ficus! We have them planted up and down my street, which means I have a giant one in the window behind my bed. It makes me smile every time I see that tree.
