BTW, I was very entertained by your writing in your development tree
Oh nice, I am meeting a reader of my epic struggles. *cool*
-- as a developer I know what its like to battle trying to solve various issues
Oh yes.
That writing was at the end of a 30h admin marathon, and I won't do that again :-) Not sleeping has probably also harmed my usually good problem solving abilities (additional to time-pressure, and the ... context in which I worked during that time), but I really wanted to "just finish it before I sleep". I could solve all admin questions in the end. Most problems actually all boiled down to having used the newest version of node.js, and something must have gone wrong installing it, at the very beginning. The downgrade (from 4.0.0 to now 0.10.40 *much*lol*) then solved it completely.
It was a real ordeal. Seldom before had so many problems piling up - when I solved one, the next one appeared. Not a steep learning curve, more like a real staircase of each time steep learning curves.
Then, when I finally decided to give in (only two problems remaining, and they were now very clear, and defined) ... I started writing it all up. Hour 30 to 33 - that might explain my "linguistic diarrhea" *g* a bit. But the effect on my soul was amazing. I went to bed happily. With writing that long text, describing all the failures, and the tedious solutions ... I empowered myself again. Try it!
Might publish a cleaned up version of that, one day.
, and found your narration quite entertaining.
Thanks! Delighted. Seldom get the chance to hear feedback.
That you put so much time into writing it though and in such detail, made me think maybe you should actually pursue writing as you had jested. ;]
Hahaha. Better than playing the linux admin, definitely. I am an experienced coder, but that admin stuff ... not my biggest strength, that is 100% clear now. Still ... cool is that I have understood the whole toolchain, to install the mentioned explorer
(buy it *wink*)Yes, writing. I have a half-finished book. Enjoying it.
Texts ...
here is an old one. And the
Cointelegraph interview is the second newest. Both less technical, though.
Follow my
twitter, then you might be lucky to see next texts when I write them, infrequently.
When I am in the mood, writing is one of my pleasures.
