A Productive Day

Intially I thought the last two days had not been all that productive. Reflecting back on it though, I've actually achieved more than I realised:

• I've set up an Ubuntu box running SQL Server, not sure what projects I'm going to use it for yet but it's been a useful learning experience.
• Refactored the WPF app I use to maintain this site. It's grown beyond being an initial quick and dirty maintenance app and the code has started to become messy. So I've embarked on a small project to refactor the application separating out the display and the control functionality.
• I've added a delete feature to the maintenance app.
• Fixed a bug prevening proper page titles on some pages of this website.

Beyond that I've also started looking at Python for data science with a view to gaining a better understanding of machine learning and ultimately AI. I've personally got a lot of reservations about AI (something that deserves a post of it's own) but it seems like it's becoming an essential part of the developer's toolkit so I don't particularly feel I have a choice.

Tomorrow I'm taking my son to the Marina Centre in Great Yarmouth so I suspect it's going to be less productive than today. That's it for today, here's some music to sign off.
