Today, I picked up Dutch leaning after a relatively stale period. To my defense, even though I’ve been productive for most of the time being, my activities didn’t really fit any streak. Instead, they were an effort to make me stick to a routine.
Anyway, I started back from the beginning of the course. It will surely help me get better at the fundamentals while I pick up the pace I lost.
Completed 3 lessons of the “Newcomer - Course 1” course. Reviewed 10 words.
After a long break, I got back on track. Today I watched 40 more minutes of content, split between the usual ElasticSearch course and a new one, called GatsbyJS: Getting Started. I'm not new to GatsbyJS, but skimming through the first two sections of the course vastly helped me to get up to speed with where I left off last time.
Today I filled two pages worth of new idioms and adjectives, from the likes of all thumbs, lumpish, and a turn of the screw.
I also experimented with some creative writing, and bundled all my previous discoveries in a short text 😄
Today I watched 30 more minutes of content. Unfortunately, it looks like the course I set to take is already outdated; many of the commands the instructor showed in today’s demo (and which I so eagerly typed onto my command line) work slightly differently or not at all. This made the whole process painfully more difficult.
Today I researched the meaning of whereby, set to, and jump on. Also, it's the first time Grammarly does not find any issue in a submission I wrote. I guess the hard work of updating Streak Club with several paragraphs of text every day is finally paying off.
Till next time, have a good one!
I jumped on the bandwagon of Elasticsearch, and attended the first few modules of the "Searching and Analyzing Data with Elasticsearch: Getting Started" course by Janani Ravi. She speaks with a heavy Indian accent, but, as long as she's comprehensible, that's fair to me.
Today I watched 41 minutes of content, whereby I get to 2h 45m in total.
In order to get ready for the English Proficiency examination, I've started pinning down all the new idioms, phrasal verbs, and alike which I come across. Written production has always been my weak spot; it's time to remedy.
Today, I've researched and annotated the meaning of "same old same old", "crack on", "front and center", and "foundational".
Let's hope for the best!
Today I completed the fourth and last module of the "Docker Networking" course. The last bit was kind of overwhelming since I had never dealt with docker services before, and they were foundational to most of the explanation.
Anyway, I'm gonna make up for it with the "Docker Deep Dive" course from the same author.
I watched 42m of content, for a total of 2h 1m.
Completed modules 1, 2, and 3 of Nigel Poulton's "Docker Networking" course. In total, I watched 1h 19m of content.
