It is like Jekyll and Hyde for me. Reading both anchor descriptions I even think that they both appeal to me equally in different ways. This is probably a sign of my inexperience though haha as in if both of them seem vaguely appealing to me then I probably haven't...

Documenting Adagia
After eight weeks
as reply to Choose Your Mistakes
My goal for the past two weeks had been to sustain the same work input into Adagia, but refrain from implementing anything new and instead focus on refactoring and maintenance. I'm proud to admit, that I made a big boo-boo. Big A mistake that I can admit was suboptimal, but...
My perfect way is in... as reply to The perfect way is a myth
The other day I was brooding over a project I'd started awhile back. It was an infrastructural project that I couldn't just leave without the product falling apart. I hadn't put as much attention into the code quality as I would like to have because the project wasn't something I...
Skulls are beautiful as reply to Solid Versus Rigid Planning

My new favorite places to write
I've now been writing within the foobar implementation of Adagia Tribes for a few weeks now. The longest running one is dedicated to writing Short Fiction. Another to practicing Hooks. And finally the most recent is for consistently practicing Poetry.

Hail to the Six
As of today the year is 6% complete.
Have you progressed six percent on any goals you had for this year?
Do you still have goals by this time of the year?
Or have they vaporized into the droll winds of holiday's end?
Hope it's the former. This is the first time I ever...
