Yesterday we watched “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind” for the first time. I still have Ohmus’ song in my head.

I feel like I have to take a week off to escape everything and just read the whole WikiWikiWeb

Switched to Dvorak layout yesterday. Typing speed decreased drastically, but I already feel how well thought out it is when typing in English.

Remembering how much I did with knowledge I had makes me wonder if my current approach to development is really efficient.

Found this old photo made by 15 yo me. I was working on inventory for our online survival game while travelling to Riga. There was no uGUI back then, the UI was developed 100% with code. Since I wasn’t an experienced developer, I had inventory drawing and logic (both local and network!) all in one place with hardcoded number and string values. Moreover, I used Atom without IntelliSense and C# highlighting (but with nice material theme!).

I have to work with Steam, SteamVR and Windows at work. While Windows is getting better, the Steam is... oh... I wonder how they keep it working for so long with all these hacks and bugs

Keyboard heatmap after the day of work. I may move red and orange keys to the centre and blue to the edges to increase typing speed. But this will make my muscle memory incompatible with any other keyboard 🤔

"Programming is the second literacy. The first one gives you knowledge: the second allows you to implement it in practice."

My colleague couldn’t open PDF documents from Zip archive that I sent her. I spent some time reasearching… And it turns out that every major operating system ignores Zip specs and uses different encoding for file names. I had to remove Lithuanian Ą and Ū from file names to make my Zip archive Windows-compatible. That’s insane!

Just discovered Teddit. It's a lightweight JS-free frontend for Reddit.

Finally received my Planck Ez keyboard! It will take some time to get used to ortholinear layout. My fingers always shift to the left

Unfortunately I may still need to turn it on for banking and digital signature purposes 😞
