I’m in that part of my Go language course where things might get confusing. That would be pointer arithmetic ‍😱 👨‍💻

The new premium feature of newsletters by micro.blog seems to be for those who use the blogging service for some kind of professional use, or, at least, for some kind of business or side-business. I still have to get one of those, so I’ll pass, same as for podcasts.

This new Go course on Udemy is much better suited for me, at least, so far. The presenter is not cutting corners and patiently digs into each line of code to explain the underlying concepts 👨‍💻

I found another Udemy course on the Go programming language. This one was rated high too. Second time’s a charm? 🤔 Courses are a bit of a 💩 shoot. Loads of flyby nights and copycats out there, only a few gems. I suppose that’s how things usually are in a free marketplace.

I bought a course on Udemy on Go, and I regret buying it. It turns out, the author skips a lot of essential material to get to the point. The code does run, but users are confused about the lessons. I guess I’ll ask for a refund, if there is one.

I ran my marathon Sunday November 28 in a cold, somewhat wet, yet blistering (puddles) 3:59:06🥇

It was over six years ago I ran my previous, so this one could’ve been my first, physically, not mentally, because your first marathon is special, precious, with tears and crying. 🏃

We had some nightly frost where I live in the Netherlands 🥶😄

I’ve enrolled in this course on Udemy (with a discount). Seems interesting. Learn Go for Beginners Crash Course (Golang)

Trying to teach myself the Go language. I’m still lacking a pet project to bring me to the next level of beginner Go programmer 👨‍💻

I’ve upgraded my Raspberry Pi 4 to the newest OS, 11 Bullseye, and reinstalled the third-party software. What I like is that new updates are automatically shown in the task bar. No longer needlessly typing sudo apt update. 👨‍💻

Because I had to wait for mail delivery at an unknown time (no tracking code), I picked today to upgrade my Raspberry Pi OS 4 to version 11, Bullseye. A fresh install was recommended, and I had to do it 2x, over slow 30 Mbps WIFI. The latter will get a better router soon, I hope.

I’m seriously contemplating doing explosive power strength training with a personal trainer for better results on the marathon. It’s only the finances that’s a big hurdle, since it costs around €85/month for 6 months (+€59 administrative fee), after which I can cancel per month.

It’s dark outside.

Finding out that micro∙blog’s bookshelf is very, very US-centric, to a fault, compared to 90% of the rest of human civilization and book culture.

FEED ME! 🐱

The only 2022 winter or spring marathon that’s available to me was almost full, so I registered myself with an early bird entry. It’s the Two Rivers Marathon on February 6, 2022. It’s my first time running there. It will be 10 weeks after my next marathon on November 28, 2021. 🏃
