Side projects

I have worked on a few side projects this month. It was mostly done during the weekends as I'm pretty occupied with my day job during weekdays. I'm slowly figuring out a framework for doing side projects. Previously, I would waste a lot of time when working on them. But over the last few months, I've figured out a few things that have helped me build side projects much faster. I will write a blog post about this later.

Added analytics to my website

I added Google Analytics to my website. Not because I wanted to measure the traffic, but because I figured that what gets measured, gets better. It isn't completely true, but I've noticed that ever since I started measuring it, I've been more motivated to drive traffic to my website, mainly through writing blogs. Not that I've written a lot of blogs, but at least now I have more drive to write more.

Ruby Conf India 24

I'm glad that I went for RubyConf this year. It was really good. I was happy to go with people whom I enjoy traveling with.

Met a lot of Rubyists there. For someone who is not outgoing, this is a huge deal.

Also, Jaipur is such a beautiful city. I felt like I could stay there forever, filling up my camera's memory card. I got a lot of amazing photos.

I can't wait to go to next year's RubyConf.
