Life Lots of interesting meetings, NativeSummit (which was cool), Women in Tech meetup at Facebook, and a meetup for the Nesta Hack my friend and I are taking part in next weekend. Starting to prep talks for next year, which is fun. Confirming two more conferences to speak at soon! And playing with AutoLayout. Media Watching […]
Life In Aberystwyth for iOS Dev UK which was amazing. I spoke on the last day so I was nervous the whole time, but it was a lovely and supportive environment. I learned a lot from the other talks, met some fabulous people and generally had a great time! So tired though. The edge of the […]
Life No culture this week which is a shame, although I spent a lot of time wondering around London which was nice! Hung out with friends, including one who was over from Sydney which was awesome. Giving up my apartment is becoming a nightmare. Estate agents are stressful, they are around all the time and keep […]
Life Hung out with friends, made it to the gym again – not as much as “usual” but a start. Still feeling a bit worn out but I think that is stress as much as anything else. Sent off a draft of my book chapter again. Exciting! Eventually it will be the final draft, which is […]
Life Still feeling a bit under the weather but so much better, really. Still trying to rehydrate and relax a bit. Went to see some apartments, met up with a school friend (I must not have seen her in 10 years! Crazy) and worked on The Secret Project some more. My parents came to London […]
Life Such a dull week, I’d been feeling under the weather for a while and it hit me with a vengeance. So I spent 4 days on the sofa barely moving and feeling extremely sorry for myself! Then went to spend some time with my family for the weekend. And, get an eye test. I ordered […]
Life A friend from the US was over, and it was great to see her, and one of my other friends returned from months away, so we got to catch up (and plot!) which was awesome. I still feel pretty energised, although I was pretty wrecked towards the end of the week but I actually […]
Life I’ve been feeling a bit flat lately, like I was doing little other than work, workout, and sleep (longer but at a lower quality than usual). So I’ve been making some changes, firstly I cut back on keeping food in my apartment – this drives me out in the morning at the weekend, and makes […]
Life My week consisted of just work and the gym, but I had a wonderfully social weekend – my friend’s engagement party on a boat, brunch, and the V&A. Also managed to get in some Cate-time – gym, reading a novel, etc. Work Busy exhausting, but in a good way. I feel like my project […]
Life Pretty low key this week, feeling really wrung out. Friend’s birthday, and tried to go to the theatre with another friend but discovered that I had booked the tickets for the following day, so just went for a wonder and some sushi instead. Submitted a talk to a conference, so we’ll see how that […]
