Just a quick note to record that, for the first time, I’m taking part Advent Of Code - a series of programming challenges that run every day from the 1st to the 25th of December. Inspired by my experiences during Exercism’s 12in23 challenge, I’ll be trying to complete the challenges in Rust (see my solutions here). That’s on top of trying to complete Exercism’s “December Diversions”, as well as 5 challenges in another language for the year-long badge to make up for the fact that January was unassigned (and keeping up my reading of Ward to remain on-track to finish by the end of the year).

It’s a warm-ish Sunday evening in the East Bay. How are you?
