August

This is a wrap up of all things I have been reading, watching, playing or listening to for the month of August.

Career

I am building apps again and it feels good to be doing it again. I am exploring no code tools althought there are so many limitations on free/trial versions, I hope I can sacrifice a couple of bucks and try out pro versions.

I am currently building something for rotary, I got an idea that I have to implement before I render it useless then see how it goes.

I managed to get @KOPSPN back up and running for the new premier league season. It was a bit of a challenge and a fun exercise that reminded me not to give up on my personal projects. I have a few feature ideas and I can’t wait to get them working. You can follow along on Twitter if you don’t mind and also share some feedback.

I did my final exams for my school semester. I deeply underestimated how difficult it could be to balance work and studies especially when it comes down to examinations. I hope I can get some sort of method or formula that works because I need them both.

Watching 📺

I am still going strong with Classroom of Elite. I caught a few episodes of season four of The Good Doctor unfortunately it was quite depressing since it was aired during the pandemic but it was also informative since it was portraying what the frontline workers went through. I guess I will gather my emotions and get back to it but for now I’d rather not recall the trauma.

Despite not being a huge anime fan, I decided to watch season one of HOTD because I enjoy action movies, and despite its use of quarks and strange physics, I loved the show.

I managed to catch a couple of movies as well as quite a lot of YouTube videos to mention but a few; Luck, Attack on Finland, Sniper: The White Raven

Reading 📖

I have arguably read almost every article that I have found interesting online. I couldn’t fit all the links here so I created a separate page just for my reads this month in case it’s something that you would like to checkout. I will possibly do this each month as well, maybe it will encourage me to read much more.

I started posting the links I found interesting on Twitter with the hope that I would do something cool like pull all the links between a certain duration and maybe post them here. I am not sure yet but it seems like a fun project to take on.

Entertainment

The Premier League season is back. There has been quite a lot of action already and I can’t wait for the champions league as well as the World Cup.

Fantasy Premier League is back with the return of the football season, and I believe every fantasy football fan has their own mixed feelings going into this season.

Personally, I believe I could be higher in the leagues, but there is still a long way to go in the season, so I will keep my fingers crossed.

We have a Rotaract League which is open for anyone to join and I am open to joining other leagues around the world so if you got some room, you can shout out to me on twitter.

Miscellaneous 🤠

I came across this app called WordNote which is a dictionary app with a very simple approach and design. The author, Zeh Fernandes wrote an article about why he built it. I believe it is quite an interesting idea.

When I went to Burundi I tried to collect a few words that would help me(you) learn the language. Additionally I always note down a couple of new words that I come across and share them at the end of each mothly article which you can always checkout.

Lastly I found a few words to add to my(your) vocabulary
