I must admit, my initial plan to use this website more often hasn't quite gone according to plan in the past few months. But I'm ready to start fresh and try again.

Lately, I've been spending most of my time working on my software project and playing games. World of Warcraft has been a particular favorite, especially the unique new game mode called Solo Shuffle Arena. It's total chaos - you get random teammates in a 3v3 combat with a total of 6 rounds. The damage dealers get swapped out each round, but the healer only gets to play with a specific combination of damage dealers, creating a dynamic 1v1 healer experience with many other factors at play.

In terms of music, I've been listening mostly to In Flames and their albums I, The Mask and Battles, which I highly recommend. Thanks for making this record it really saved my life. I don't what would have become out of me if i didn't had music all the last month's. Let's not find out. Music is the best.

I'm thrilled to say that I completed my software project on time, which surprised not only myself but everyone else as well. The functionality that we've all been waiting for has finally been delivered, and it's a huge accomplishment for me as I planned everything from start to finish. I'm incredibly proud of what I've created - it's all me!

Of course, I couldn't have done it without the help of a fantastic coworker who always had my back and helped me with the planning process. It was a massive project, consisting of 23,000 lines of code, but it was a significant step in the right direction for me. This little project has given me the confidence to take on more complex tasks in the future.

The project itself included several challenging tasks, including printing over TCP/IP with ZPL programming, reading values from a libra, working with third-party APIs, authentication/authorization with JWT, mobile development with Android Kotlin, creating a React frontend for another department, handling backend routes with Golang, executing SQL queries and transactions, and deploying the server to a Docker machine locally while also providing a management system. In total, the backend alone resulted in around 23,000 lines of code, which was a challenge to complete.

I'm happy to say that I never gave up on this project and saw it through to the end. Now, I feel a great sense of accomplishment and confidence to tackle even more significant projects in the future.

I decided to enjoy a relaxing New Year's Eve. For dinner, I had a delicious steak with a cold beer. I highly recommend watching the TV series "Ein Herz und eine Seele - Sylvesterpunsch" - it never gets old. I also watched the movie "Life of Brian," which is still hilariously funny and ahead of its time. Later, I spent some time in Orgrimmar, and it was a nice experience. After that, I enjoyed some beer and took on some Alliance enemies. Most of the time, I was listening to Children of Bodom. I spent New Year's Eve alone because I wasn't in the mood to celebrate. Instead, I took some time to reflect on my life in 2022.

I had some significant achievements, including working my way up in my company and getting my own project - a complete Golang backend. It wasn't easy, as I had to learn new soft skills like managing, planning, and communicating. But I worked hard and reached my goal.

Unfortunately, there was also some bad news at the end of the year. My longtime girlfriend and I had to go our separate ways after 14 years together. It's been tough on my soul, but I know it's for the best. We all face problems in life, and it's important to deal with them.

On a brighter note, I had a great experience doing my first home office in Spain. We chose Spain because flights were cheap, and the travel time was reasonable. After work, I'd head to the beach and soak up the sun. We'd also go out to restaurants and enjoy the local cuisine, which was a real quality of life upgrade. I highly recommend visiting during La Noche de San Juan on June 23-24. The whole town comes alive, with people making fires on the beach and giant foam statues getting burned down at the end of the day. It's a truly unforgettable experience.

After my breakup, I unexpectedly reconnected with my brother. I'm grateful that he took the initiative to reach out, as we've since gone to concerts and spent quality time together.

While my work life has been successful, my personal life has taken a hit. I realize that I need to hit the restart button on my personal life and reboot my spirits.

Last night, I played Day of the Tentacle again and was reminded of how funny it is. The game is set in a point-and-click universe with Hoagie, Bernard, and Laverne, where a tentacle tries to take over the world. If you enjoy puzzle-based point-and-click adventures, I highly recommend playing it!

The game's biggest highlight is the amount of things you can discover - it's a truly immersive experience.

Also, on a side note, if you're a fan of Star Wars, you can call 1-800-STARWARS for a fun surprise!

I recently had an amazing time playing Huntdown, a fast-paced 2D platform game with charming pixel graphics inspired by the 80s. What really stood out to me was the developer's attention to detail and passion for the project. The voice acting, animations, music, and atmosphere were all perfectly matched and created a truly immersive experience.

During my first playthrough, I died a staggering 91 times on the SHOGUN . The boss fight against the Dudson twins with their katanas almost drove me to madness! But it was the fight against Dean Dandy that really had me in stitches - the hilarious voices in that fight were just too funny.

I'm really looking forward to playing Huntdown again sometime soon - it's an absolute blast from start to finish.

Welcome to my Webiste!

I'm thrilled to announce that I've finally had the time to fix my server and domain, and it's time to start creating some content! As a programmer with over 30 years of life experience, I love nothing more than sitting down and puzzling things together, getting lost in the process.

Over the years, I've grown particularly fond of a few things, including:

I'm excited to share my thoughts, experiences, and passions with you through this website, and I hope you'll find it informative, entertaining, and inspiring.
