Voyaging Mind

Well we still have about 60% of the boxes from our move left to unpack but it is fair to say we are starting to settle in. The summer of stress, as we now call it and not just because of the house move, is now over. It was having a massive affect on the amount of code I produced at home. I would not say I am anywhere near back up to reasonably productivity levels in part because I don't yet have a place to sneak off to when I want to code. I am now working on a small android app. A To-Do list manager of sorts. Yes this has been covered many time on the market place. It is something I have had in the back of my mind for a while.

I looked at it a few years ago and drifted away from it, returning to it now and it seems quite nice. Having written all of about 10 lines in it I am obviously qualified to comment on it. This is really a background task, I was lo
