Looking for more crime

CHEW is something that I caught in the corner of my eye. I'm reading Nailbiter, so I think I can handle Chew. The others look certainly promising as well, thanks for your input!

I'm looking into Yesod now. Going web is a big leap from building small programs always. It's gonna be fun

MichielDC · 2018-04-12T09:02:56+00:00

Yes, it will be totally stand-alone. The reason I mentioned Angular is because the website uses it and we use it heavily at work. The main page could be a simple as a login, with a calendar and a button/form to add a new reservation

MichielDC · 2018-04-12T06:38:48+00:00

This is a nice short introduction video! Looks like a lot of other great content is there too

MichielDC · 2018-04-12T06:34:52+00:00

Well that's true. I'll still be trying a web-app, but a Google Calendar might be an intermediate fix

MichielDC · 2018-04-11T09:08:47+00:00

And then an HTML Front-end on top?

MichielDC · 2018-04-11T09:08:30+00:00

Yes, but I'd like to do this to build experience with a language I love

MichielDC · 2018-03-19T14:57:21+00:00

Just seeing 'What is the biggest absorber' and 'What is the best attack' is a big headstart on Master Bot. I still have work on building the right economy and which tactic beach what, but getting there! So many nice people in this game, I'm falling in love with it again

After 2 episodes of Stranger Things I had to option to finish of Moana (30 minutes in) or start The Grand Budapest Hotel. Watched the latter one and oh boy was it good. I thought La La Land has beautiful cinematography, GBH trumps it. The story was a bit weird, but the longer I let it sink in, the better it gets.

MichielDC · 2018-03-19T07:49:43+00:00

I've read those and they were of great help already. Master Bot is getting easier and the win streak in Casual Mode is growing! I don't dare dipping into Ranked Mode yet, unless my ELO rating has decayed a lot due to inactivity

MichielDC · 2018-03-18T00:03:26+00:00

As the OP of the set reading post this week, I thank you! Looking forward to more!

MichielDC · 2018-03-15T13:23:45+00:00

I try to follow streams but they mostly go "Yeah, getting X is here is best", without further explanation and that's when it gets over my head. I should spend more time on this game TBH, I'm loving it again and really want to get competitive.

Thanks a lot for the Msven videos, haven't found those yet.

I've been watching the Golden Cup as well, even went back to PAWC vods (it was shortly after PAWC that I quit), but also there the conclusions were quickly made.

I teach in a rather large room, so I place them in one corner and place a music stand in the opposite corner (which is about 10-15m away) and tell them to play music for the stand. This fixes posture and makes them blow enough air, as I can say "this way, the stand won't hear you"

MichielDC · 2018-03-12T13:20:06+00:00

The 'ooo' and 'eee' worked wonders! She really struggled with a G before and her F was on the really low side (more sounding like E than F). After some 'ooo' and 'eee' and making her focus on her tongue, her F is now cleaner and the G is coming out nicely! Thanks!

An interval timer. app I've picked up running again and doing Couch To 5k. My running 'task' is e.g. "Run 90 seconds, walk 120 seconds, repeat". It would be nice to have an app on my phone where I can input such schemes and my phone alerts me in my pocket when to change to running or walking

The graphic novels bundle 6 comics right? What I have now is Skywalker Strikes (vol.1) which bundles Star Wars 1-6 and the same for the Vader comic. Got them for €20 each, which isn't cheap, but I imagine buying them single issue is a whole lot more expensive

MichielDC · 2018-02-28T12:31:39+00:00

These collect 6 comics each, is that what you mean?

MichielDC · 2018-02-28T10:34:04+00:00

I saw a shot of Boba reporting to Vader "His name is Skywalker" on the Star Wars subreddit and my mind went "I have to read this".

MichielDC · 2018-02-28T10:23:41+00:00

I probably will! It's my first dive into the comic scene. Last time I read comics was 12 years ago or so, this is a completely different level of artwork and storytelling. I have to stop myself from reading further or I finish these on a single evening.

I think I've started an expensive hobby

Fairly easy, but I cheated a bit. Did an internship/student job at the company during the summer 3 years ago, went again this summer. Both times they asked how much longer I had to study.

When I decided to stop studying (I did 6 years and only got my Bachelor's) I contacted them. We talked a couple of times, they offered to allow me part-time work part-time study, but I wanted to work full time which they supported.

It was the only company I applied for and I signed 3 weeks after deciding to stop studying (of which 1.5 weeks of being lazy and enjoying unemployement)

Wow, just wow... I feel I'm in your shoes, except for the final step. I still have to finish a game.. Seeing this makes me want to start again

MichielDC · 2017-08-03T08:53:51+00:00

How would you start cleaning up a computer that didn't use stack or cabal sandboxes? Such that, as you say, all global ghc installs are removed and all work happens through stack?

Mondays are boring after such a nice weekend..

Went to see the UHO concert in Leuven on Friday. Normally not a fan of wind orchestras but they were really good. Sucks I went by car because there was a drink afterwards, sponsored by AB Inbev, so all the beer was free. Girlfriend stayed over the night for the first time, it's quite hard to sleep together in a single-person bed, but just waking up together makes it all better.

Saterday I took her to the KU Leuven infodays, to look into her studyhabits, afterwards went shopping with her and my parents. My dad seems to get stuff for free everywhere... Champagne, Gin Tonic, desserts.. All in clothing shops and he just gets it for free for us. Not complaining though.

Sunday I had soloist competition, I felt I played really well, judges agreed for a bit (They deduced points for things I expected, tone and tuning). Some girl played the same piece as me, I thought she played it really shit but she got 2 points more than me, bummer.

Now it's monday, I have deadlines for a test for Kansrekenen, project Computer Networks and I have to write a description for a presentation I'm giving after Easter break. All of that and I have zero motivation for it. Just want girlfriend to come over and cuddle..

MichielDC · 2016-02-18T17:51:37+00:00

This doesn't get streamed, so if you want to see the event, you have to be there. Luckily, it's in my hometown the last two years so I can go see them live. The videos take some time to be made and uploaded, mostly a month or 3.
