Wrapping up the year with gratitude

Wrapping up the year with gratitude

Howdy fellas! Long time no see. As anyone can tell, this second half of the year wasn’t my most productive period in terms of blogging and otherwise. Don’t get me wrong, I am not apologizing and have no regrets. Many times I exchanged “blogging time” for simply hanging out with my wife or playing late with my daughters. Life is about priorities and we all have the same scarce resource of time which we decide where to invest. After all,…

10 Questions with Mr. 1500

10 Questions with Mr. 1500

“Hey, look at him, he is alive, the guy who stated that he will get back on track with posting then disappeared.” I know, I know and you are right. I should have been waking up when September ends. And now it is almost the end of October and all I published is a rant about the Suze Orman phenomenon. She apparently “changed” her mind, btw. So what happened? Well, I try to stick with a new writing schedule and…

Participating in the Random Questions series

Participating in the Random Questions series

In my Coders Of Finance series I am the one who knocks asks questions, but interestingly there are occasions when others are curious about my answers to some of their questions. At first, these came only in form of spam comments and emails asking if I am interested in some Ponzi schemes, free viagra samples or services I definitely don’t need. Then my first legit indulgement into the interviewing world happened by taking the BoaS Question Series over at BudgetOnAStick.com (beware,…

Hitting the six months mark

Hitting the six months mark

Maybe it seems like not a big deal to you, but it is huge for me. I am a recovering procrastinator and a serial quitter. Back in last September when I published my first post with trembling hands I was a total noob. Wrote a mini CMS before, just for fun (and for…

Memes Reloaded

Memes Reloaded

First of all, I want to wish a success packed very Happy New Year. I wasn’t too active in the recent holiday season and spent the last month getting back on track. As I stated in earlier I want to turn 2018 into a more techie year, thus I spent the last couple of days with geeking around with WordPress. The goal was to give memes a new way of appearance as I sent the Funny Friday series into early…

Refactoring The Schedule

Refactoring The Schedule

Last week I was talking(whining) about my blogging struggles, so there come the solutions. Also, thank you for the encouragement I received, good to know that I am not alone with schedule problems. 😉 Posting schedule My posting frequency so far was two posts per week, one content-based and one meme based. I like to work on both, but the way I was doing it is very inefficient. Living from post to post and write and publish in last minute…

Should I Stay Or Should I Go

Should I Stay Or Should I Go

I hope that I don’t have to introduce this legendary track to anyone, but if you somehow managed to live without knowing it, please press play now. For a while I did not know what should be the title of this post, then while working on it suddenly it started to play on Deezer and I knew that is it. The perfect summary of the struggle of my last two weeks. Hint: this post is not about moving.  As…
