I didn't have much time for anything on January since I have spent more
|
|
time traveling than anything else: Being on my homecity for christmas,
|
|
traveling for work two times and then another conference just because.
|
|
|
|
At least the planes gave me some time to read and finish some pending
|
|
things, though I hope next month is more relaxed.
|
|
|
|
## Conferences
|
|
- DevConf, Brno [^link devconf.cz]
|
|
|
|
Not much to comment apart from feeling a complete newbie about
|
|
everything, but more on that on another post in the near future.
|
|
|
|
## TV Shows/Movies
|
|
|
|
- Watched The Witcher S01 [^link the witcher]
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure if coming to the TV Show without having read the books
|
|
or played the games was good or bad, but I enjoyed it. Not sure why
|
|
some of the hate out there. It may be a bit difficult to put
|
|
everything together if you're not focusing on it (as it happened to
|
|
me), but it's a good fantasy show and I'm glad they renewed for a
|
|
second season.
|
|
|
|
## Books
|
|
|
|
- Stopped reading Prince of Thorns[^link prince of thorns]
|
|
|
|
I didn't get involved with the story, the characters and so on. Only
|
|
read a few chapters but there are tons of books to read to stop on
|
|
one I wasn't enjoying. I may try again in the future.
|
|
|
|
- Started reading The last wish[^link the last wish]
|
|
|
|
This was obvious, having watched the series it seems like an awesome
|
|
fanstasy world to explore and so far so good. Looking forward to the
|
|
game too.
|
|
|
|
## Games
|
|
|
|
- I started and dropped Pokemon Shield[^link pokemon] on record time.
|
|
Got some hype from a friend and from a recent announcement but it's
|
|
just the same as always and it bored me going through. Made to the
|
|
second or third gym and I just didn't want to turn on the Switch to
|
|
play, so...
|
|
|
|
## Articles
|
|
|
|
Some stuff I've read over the month. Since I don't store a proper
|
|
history this is just what came to mind, but I'm going to try keeping a
|
|
record for the coming months. Also I'm going to use this as a pressure
|
|
point to read some more pending articles, at least to the point that
|
|
I read more than I add to my pocket account.
