For the past week or so I have been making time to work on a new theme for this blog. We software engineers can’t go for very long without making changes to our websites 😁 Be it the software running the site behind it (yes, I have done this several times) or the theme, the […]
Pandemic and walking are not good friends, am I right? 🚶♂️ I bought the recently launched Mi Band 6. In 2016 I had acquired their first version, it didn’t even have a screen! Turns out the Mi Band 6 is only accurate in measuring the steps. Not the heart rate, o2, or even sleeping. Thankfully […]
I don’t like how the proper way of phrasing age in English looks like: “I’m 33 years old“. In Spanish, if we were to literally translate it to English it would look like “I’m 33 years“. Why couldn’t we adopt a new way of saying it? How does “I’m 33 years young” sound like? I’d […]
🔓 Unlocking the lockdown When the government gave the green light last Sunday to have a parent (1 not 2) have a 60 minutes walk with up to 3 children the streets of Barcelona were flooded with families breaking the guidelines.

🏠 🔒 Most of us are very well prepared for this. Prepared to to live through this unprecedented lockdown most of us had never experienced before.

🥚🐰 Easter break This week was a little bit easier. Shorter. Here in Barcelona we had last Friday off all the way to Monday included. Four full days of vacation 🌴 A total shame we could not go out, the weather was fantastic ☀️ So this week has been shorter, which has made surviving it […]
I’m about to lose my concept of time and space 🤪 The worst thing is I feel it’s going to be another month at least stuck at home. I don’t know, nobody knows. I have been twenty-eight days with minimum contact with the outside world other than breathing some fresh air in the balcony. Cool […]
Not sure if I’m passed the point where the isolation has challenged me. I have found my routines and even though it sucks I think we’ll push through. 👨🏻💻 Working I’m lucky enough to still be working, remotely. I’m grateful for that and it takes me eight hours a day, so that’s already a big […]
💩 I will not sugarcoat it, this sucks You don’t value what you have until you lose it. In this case the freedom to roam the streets, go to the office, to the school, take the bicycle to work and simply walk back home. Even though I shave, put on some “work” clothes, and try […]
A full week has passed since we started confinement at home, how much more is left is unknown. Spain has more than 18,000 cases as of today and you don’t see the new cases curve plateauing any time soon 🙁 We’ve only left home to go to the supermarket, the pharmacy, to throw out the […]
