Daily-Programming

Nothing to do today. Lazy weekend! Updates: Daily use of Vim continues. Combining it (for the daily posts at least) with touch typing. Everything is terribly slow! It can only get better from here out :) Completed all of lesson Q1 in gtypist today again. Went faster this time. Confident enough to start Q2, Monday onwards. Learnt how to configure basic authentication on an Nginx site. Feel like I can manage my own stuff now. With this I think, I’ve done my 20 hours of Nginx too :)

Updates: Done with the whole first lesson in Gtypist today! All 8 levels! Yippee! Finished another baby app, that tells you how many days to your birthday. Finished up, chapter 8 of the Lutz book. Dictionaries make so much more sense now.

Updates: 15 mins each, of Gtypist & Vim done

Upgraded to Nikola v8, b3 today. And now, I realise the amount of stress, virtual environments like conda and pip, alleviate. All I had to do was backup my blog, create a new nikola environment and run it against the blog folder. And while everything went well, I rested easy knowing that I could get everything back to the way it was :) Updates: Last Vim update. Am fairly ok with using it as my daily text editor now. And the anki deck is almost committed to memory. Think my twenty hours are done today :) Done with 15 mins of gtypist. Getting slowly better. Done with watching 5 chapters of the Jumpstart course. Will practice them tomorrow.

It’s taken me 50 days to somehow figure out a way to study. I still feel like Sisyphus. But I realise now, that I have the map. The land isn’t large and unknown as I feared earlier. I just need to keep my head down and take it step by step. Updates: 09.45 – gtypist improves slowly by the day. Getting better, yet stretching 14.15 – vim moves ahead well!

Back to office, still feel funny, so taking it easy. Updates: 15.00 – Done with all the new cards in the Vim Anki Deck. A few more days and I think I’ll drop Vim from the updates. While I’ll never be as fast or productive as other Vim speed demons, that’s not what I’m aiming for anyhoo. I just want to be as fast and error free as I was with DOS edit in the late 90s :P 15:30 – Slower but more accurate with gtypist today. Got half of Chapter 7 in the Lutz book done Watched the video for App 3 in the Jumpstart Python course ...
