Hello my dear friends,
Since my last email reached you in January, not much has happened.
We’re in the middle of Lent, so I’m not eating much and worst of all, I’m also not drinking any alcohol.Ultimately that’s what Lent is about: giving up temptations. It’s a fun way to test your discipline, but it is also dreadfully boring.
Besides not eating, I’ve also not been running a lot. I suffered a minor knee injury at the end of January which kept me from running until recently. Fortunately, I’m recovered now, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish the Petranpad Ultra run I had planned in early May in my hometown of Sevenum, the Netherlands.
My life has not been completely miserable though. I’ve been enjoying myself tremendously by working on a web application. I don’t want to share too much about it yet except that it has to do with the following article I wrote:
On the importance of writing book reviews
Now, I’ll be completely frank with you guys: I’ve enjoyed working on this app a lot over the last couple of months, but I’m also getting a bit fed up with it now.
I just want it to be finished.
But every time I think I’m almost there, some other bugs appear, or I come up with new features that seem absolutely relevant.
In order for me to draw this project to an end, I’m sharing my new deadline with you here – very publicly. Before Wednesday the 9th of April – 9AM (EET) I will share my project with you guys.I’m exited about it.
