    A terminal window on a Raspberry Pi displays a coding session with a Go program that involves creating a deck of cards.

    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 πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»

    I found another Udemy course on the Go programming language. This one was rated high too. Second time’s a charm? πŸ€” Courses are a bit of a πŸ’© 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.

    Running

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

    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. πŸƒ

    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 πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»

    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. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»

    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.

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

    Running

    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. πŸƒ

    I thought I found an interesting blog by an ultrarunner, except the last post was by his wife, telling the reader this person died of a heart attack. Gulp! πŸ˜– Life is precious, folks. One day may be your last. Better spend it doing what you love most.

    Since nothing is happening in my life without cause, I guess I’ll have to challenge myself with 100 story ideas.
