I finished “The World We Make” by N.K. Jemisin. Marvelous book from the only author to win three consecutive Hugo awards, and to win awards for all three books in a trilogy.

I also managed to take a whole week off of work without logging in at all, which is a really big accomplishment for me.

Got back to the gym and started eating healthy again. Guess what? Just a few days and I'm already feeling more focused when working/studying/reading

Awesome!

This book is a really great investigation of the link between exercise and brain function. I'd recommend it if you haven't read it. Really helps me hammer home the need to get physical exercise for the sake of a healthy mind.

My new book is out and already the #1 new release in Java Programming!

I started on a newer book last week and am past the halfway mark at 150 pages. Will probably have it out in a couple of weeks...

Decided to leave a startup I was working on. It's technically a loss but I'm counting it as a win because in the past I would have had a hard time with the "sunk time fallacy". This time I made the right call early on and cut.

Wow! That is quite a feat. Major congrats!

I am not surprised though! Your output and work ethic is incredible. I regulary see ya sharing awesome content in the Java space.

As for leaving the startup, it sounds like you have a good outlook on it all. Anywho, wishing ya the best on the new book and whatever else comes next!

I finished writing a chapter that wound up being almost 50 pages long, sent edits back for 3 other chapters already in review, and fixed a particularly tricky bug yesterday.

Sounds like an accomplished week to me! Nice to hear the book is coming along well.

Yeah, I'm real near being done with the first drafts on the whole of part 1. In a few days I'll have 6 chapters in first draft or better and 11 remaining. I suspect that first part will be the hardest chunk of the book to write, other than a pair of technically challenging chapters around Roslyn Analyzers. Still feels a bit surreal to be writing a book through a publisher, but I'm really enjoying it.

After a while, I have started reading books again (which I enjoy). This time a book by one of my favorite author's John le Carré - A Legacy Of Spies. I have been reading his books since late 1980's - the first one was The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. I have read at least 12 of his books.

The last book I had finished was The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce. This I had liked it; it is an unusual story about a middle-aged guy who walks more than 500 kilometers to see a dying friend. I was even inspired to walk a few kilometers to do some errands (normally, I would have taken some kind of transportation).

I also, created a website for myself (I already posted an article on this forum My first personal website; it has some professional details. I had something like that on my mind for a while. It is useful, that I don't have to think about what to tell in some work related communications.
