I just started a new task: Attending the 3rd Solid Symposium This year, the Symposium is held on Leiden, the Netherlands, on April 24th and 25th.

Hi there!

I just published a new blog post: The Soul-Crushing Reality of Job Seeking

Well well well, I can't believe it's been almost 8 months since I updated this task 😱.

Today I'm giving a talk at Solid World: Interoperable Serendipity

I just completed the task Attending FOSDEM 2025.

Once again, it's a wrap.

I'm not giving any talks this year, but it seems like many people I know are attending so it should be fun!

I just started a new task: Attending FOSDEM 2025 New year, new FOSDEM!

I just completed the task Housekeeping 2024/25.

Well, in the last update I mentioned you may be hearing from me once a week.

You may be surprised to be hearing from me so soon, just a week after my last update...

Well, hello 2025!

I just started a new task: Housekeeping 2024/25 Once in a while, I batch some chores I've been neglecting.

I just completed the task Taking a Sabbatical.

After 103 days, 34 cities, and 9 countries...

Today, I'm writing from Shanghai, China.

Hi again!

I'm entering the 3rd month of my sabbatical, and I can officially say that I'm growing tired of it 😅.

It's been a month since I started the sabbatical, and so far it's going well.

The point of the sabbatical is that I don't have any goals, but I'll use this task to share my experience.

I just started a new task: Taking a Sabbatical For the first time in a while, I'm unemployed and taking some time off.

I just published a new blog post: The End of The Chapter

It's only been two weeks since my last update, but I'm already done with the beta!

Ok, so the cycle finished yesterday and this is where things stand: As always, I haven't finished everything; but I can say I am mostly done with UI!

I just published a new blog post: Why Solid?

I just completed the task Attending the 2nd Solid Symposium.

Hey!

I've been leaving this task on the side for some weeks, but today I'm back.

The Symposium is officially over, and if I had to compress my experience to a single sentence I would say that I got drunk on excitement.

Today I'm giving a talk at Solid Symposium: Solid CRDTs in Practice

Today I'm giving a talk at Solid Symposium: Thoughts on Solid Developer Experience

Yes, it's finally happening.

I just started a new task: Attending the 2nd Solid Symposium This year, I'm attending my first ever Solid conference.

I just completed the task Learning CSS.

I can't believe I started this course in 2022.

This week was the end of the cycle, and TLDR this is how things stand: Looking back at the evolution of the chart, it started really well because in a couple of weeks I had most things from the "Workspaces & Lists" and "Tasks CRUD" scopes done.

And here we are, one module away from the last!

I just completed the task Attending FOSDEM 2024.

Once again, it's a wrap.

This will be my 4th time attending FOSDEM; I was there in 2019, 2020, and 2023 (2021 and 2022 editions were held online).

I just started a new task: Attending FOSDEM 2024 As is becoming a tradition, I'm attending this year's FOSDEM in Brussels, on February 3 & 4.

Hello, 2024!

I didn't think I'd be posting any more updates this year, but I finished the Grid module just in the nick of time!

It is done!

Hi there!

Summer is over (kind of), and I'm back in the saddle.

Today I'm giving a talk at MoodleMoot Global 2023: Moodle App Testing: Then and Now

I just completed the task Working from Japan.
