Parenting and Career Development Went Goblin Mode
Hello Cyberfriends, I know I was pretty quiet last week. I was busy wrapping up my intro to HTML course and learning Python basics while Baby napped. There were a few naps of my own sprinkled in for fun. I’ve learned that front end web development isn’t really my cup of tea. Mr. Goblin absolutely […]
Read More Inspired by Snakes: Learning PythonHello Cyberfriends, I know it’s a cliché notion, but I find myself wishing that there was a pause button on life.

You’re sitting there thinking, “Really Ardent? I come here for tech stuff and cute stories about Baby Goblin, I don’t need a self help novel.” Which is fine, because that’s my normal […]
