August 2024

Summary of changes for August 2024

I continue work on the modernization of a student loan application for a Canadian provincial government. The project is a .NET Blazor server application, so I've been continuing my journey working full stack in C#.
Celebrated my in-laws' 50th wedding anniversary, and our own 10th wedding anniversary.
Celebrated my best friend's 40th birthday with a nice dinner at Grey Gardens, a gem of a restaurant tucked away in Kensington Market.
Celebrated my dad and niece's birthdays (a lot of celebrations this month!)
Spent some time in the Kawartha Lakes region visiting my parents.
Started reading A Philosophy of Software Design by John Ousterhout. It's very good, and very applicable to me now that I'm working in a C# codebase. I wish a book like this existed earlier in my career. Will post a more in-depth review about it later.
Started renting a new studio space for work. Enjoying it so far.
Started preparations for Brew Tour 2024.
My monthly playlist for August 2024.
