New Experiment – The Daily Coder

I’ve been trying to get my coding blog going bit by bit but I’ve struggled with it a bit – www.forgottencoder.com – perhaps it’s due to to not enough focus, perhaps it’s due to not having enough time, whatever the case, I’m starting a new project with this blog at it’s core. For the month of June, I will be committing to doing an hour of code a day and blogging about it. The rules are; One hour of day of code per day. Cannot be part of a professional project – must be my own project. Learning doesn’t count, i.e.,

Sharing your Work

I wrote a LinkedIn article about a month ago and then decided to share it across a number of groups – groups that had 70,000+ members associated to them. As I wrote some clever summary I worried about how it would be perceived, what would people think?  Would they love it?  Would they hate it?  Would they tear it apart? I could feel my brow furrowing and sweat starting to form as I clicked “Post”. And then I waited… Waited… Still waiting… Nothing happened, a few people liked it, but that was about it.

What’s In A Mentor?

I wrote an article awhile back on what I think it takes to be a Mentor to someone. What is not said in this article is that I learned all of these traits many years ago, when I was still in University, watching a telephone conversation take place that to this day I never forgotten and convey to others. The approach, skill, patience and integrity in that one interaction taught me what no book ever could hope to achieve and what I endeavour to do with others. I don’t if this person will see this today, but they have a profound impact on

I Need that Fix

I need my coding fix to keep the logical part of my brain happy. I need my writing fix to get out everything I have in my head. I need my entrepreneurial fix to engage that feeling of starting something and growing it. I need my sales fix that drives me to reach out and network with people. I need my leadership fix when coaching and working with teams. I need my exhaustion fix when I finish going for a run. I need my building fix when I try to build something with my hands, admiring the calluses I have earned at the
