This year was a slow one , with some big highlights both my private life and professionally .
Having a chance to travel with my future wife this year helped stabilize my life. It is kinda funny how going places, even if they are not very different from your home town, broadens your horizons and makes you feel and notice things you would probably not care about when you come back home.
Had a chance to visit Berlin, amazing city loved it, for a opera show and came back with the German language so stuck on my head that when i landed in Lisbon i had this weird sense that everyone would still speak in German.
Of course i had to start learning the language. That is a must do point for me in 2019.
Also on my birthday i was given the chance to attend the F1 race in Barcelona and for a die hard F1 fan like me it was a experience i will cherish for a long long time. Even if today i look at Formula E with more interest (i love racing and engineering wise electric vehicles are a more daunting project) than F1, i still wake up before dawn to watch races. Can't wait for February to see new cars. Let's hope that Williams F1 (more on them a bit below) and Mclaren get up the ladder. Mclaren did that project with OnePlus so let's hope they can "warp charge" their season.
This year my main media comsuption platform was youtube.com . DigitalFoundry was my main go to after work. A lot of work goes into their videos and it shows.
Latter on the year i came accross Vin and Sori on a reaction video (they seem to have exploded on this year) and i must say it was one of my best findings of 2018.
There were some bad moments, the passing of one of my grandmothers, some people who revealed their true self and it was a bad sight.
Professionally still on the same job, however got chances of capitalizing on my knowledge elsewhere also. On 2019 i do plan on expanding that side. The post with more views on this blog was the PDF Signing without Java. and maybe i'll explore a bit more on that side. If there is something related to Java/Javascript that you would like to read about please let me know.
Also been looking into elementaryOS and the way they try to entice developers (you can leave an idea for an app on the comments section).
Also this year had a chance to attend the WebSummit at Lisbon and it was amazing. Saw a lot of tech stuff , i'll keep that for a future post, but was surprised me the most was the applications that Williams has developed for use outside F1. I was like "How come i don't this stuff" - for instance BabyPod .
A long post already, so more technical stuff for next post.
Have a nice entry into the new year.
