I've been a bit lazy about writing the last days, so here is a little update about different things going on, it's been kind of stressful at work lately, so I've not really had the energy to write

Meditation

My meditation is going quite well, and I'm up to 20 minute sits now, I think I will have to stay here for a while since some of the sits are getting quite challenging now, I don't know why, but some times it's really hard to keep up. Some sits are really challenging to get through, while others go really fast, and are no problem at all. But I think keeping it up and just work on it and it will probably go better again, just like other things that can be challenging I hope that practice makes perfect.

Programming

I've been having a lot of fun working on programming in nim, it's a wonderful langauge, and so much fun to work with, but as my brain has felt rather mushy after getting back from work, I've been putting programming a bit more on the side lately so progress is grinding to a halt, but I've been having fun reading about the language and so on at least, so it doesn't feel completely like a waste, I hope I get back into the programming groove again.

Youtube / Newpipe

My internet has been very flakey lately, and I've been relying on predownloading videos that I watch with newpipe, and I'm still standing by it being a better youtube than youtube itself, it's just a really great little program :)

Hobbies

I've been getting back into doing logic puzzles lately and I've been really enjoying the (non-free) android application logic wiz it has really good puzzles, many of them, and different difficulty levels, it's also a pretty responsive and well done application in many ways, great to have along with some more talky stuff

Podcasts

I've been catching up with most of the podcasts that I listened to now, so I've been finding some new ones that I'm really enjoying:

cppcast

Although I don't really use cpp myself, this podcast is a very nice comfy listen, and they have quite some topics that I find interesting even as an “outside” person.

BBC documentaries

I just pick things that I'm a bit interested in from the feed here, and there are some really nice things to learn here.

Marianne writes a programming language

This is kind of interesting and cool podcast that mostly have been about programming language theory for now, and I've been enjoying it.

The strange case of starship iris

I binged through the first season in a day, a really fun audio play, nice fluffy little sci-fi story.

Philosophize this

I'm kind of hanging behind on philosophy, but it's something that has been kind of catching some interest with me lately, so I'm trying to learn some more , I've only tried one episode until now, but it seems pretty nice.
