the return of the gemlog

in the modern age of being e-stalked whenever you apply for job (I've done it to candidates, I won't lie), using my blog to talk about personal stuff feels like I'm fucking up future job prospects.

so to avoid that, here comes the gemlog I maintained for one week in September.

an important thing I've realised is that writing down problems lets you disconnect from them a bit, stops them swimming around in your brain keeping you up at night. I'd like this to help me with that. I rarely write without a filter, even in my own journals, I don't know why, I just write what I /think/ should be written down in a journal.

anyway, this is mostly going to be the lamentations of a software developer at a big company who thinks too much and does too little.

now, an unordered list of things have recently made me happy:

- the Swindled podcast

- doing the washing up /before/ things start growing at the bottom of the bowl

- Jump Rope Gazers by The Beths

- the D programming language (def got more to say on this)

- re-reading Harry Potter for the first time in seventeen years (I never finished them the first time around)

- baking
