Don't skip your lunch break. Best, have a walk during lunchtime. And after work, do some kind of workout or visit a sports class. Do something completely unrelated to work before going to sleep (e.g. visit a parallel universe and read a Science Fiction novel).

This means that on average, I intermittent fast on average 18-20 hours daily. It may sound odd to most people (who don't intermittent fast), but in a fasted state, I can be even more focused, thus helping me immerse myself in something even more. Not having breakfast and lunch also gives me back some time for other things (e.g. a nice walk, where I listen to podcasts or audiobooks or practise using my camera (street photography)). I relax my routine during the week ends, where I may enjoy a meal at any given time of the day.</span><br /> <br /> diff --git a/gemfeed/2023-03-16-the-pragmatic-programmer-book-notes.html

Not having breakfast and lunch also gives me back some time for other things (e.g. a nice walk, where I listen to podcasts or audiobooks or practise using my camera (street photography)).

I started off with "buetow.org", and later I switched halfway to "snonux.de". Buetow is my last name, and snonux relates to some of my internet nicknames and personal IT projects. I also have a "SnonuxBSD" ASCII-art banner in the motd of my FreeBSD based home-NAS.</span><br /> -<br /> -<span>For a while, I was thinking about a better host name for this site, meeting the following criteria:</span><br /> -<br /> -<ul> -<li>Isn't directly linked to my name or my internet nicknames.</li> -<li>Reflects the "nature" of this site.</li> -<li>Is still pretty generic.</li> -<li>Is "cool".</li> -<li>Is short and easy to remember. </li> -<li>Doesn't cost millions.</li> -</ul><br /> -<span>So I think that foo.zone is the perfect match.

Well, on the other hand, I now may have to explain to non-programmers that I am not a fan of the rock band "Foo Fighters".
