Below is a long blog post about 2017 and what I did in this year. What I have done at work? – A lot of things, but mostly the same as always: I develop websites for customers using Laravel framework. Some examples are listed here https://www.krzys.pl/en/. In addition to that we also help our clients with their business development by introducing new technologies or helping them build custom applications from scratch.…

Below is a long blog post about 2015. In March of this year I wrote an article for the Huffington Post entitled: “Is Your Job Killing You? Why We Need To Talk About Workplace Stress.” The goal was to spark a discussion around workplace stress and how it impacts our health, families and well-being – something that has been overlooked in many public discussions on mental illness. A few days after publishing my piece, I received an email from someone at HuffPost who told me they had received so much positive feedback regarding the story from readers, colleagues and friends that they wanted to do more with it by highlighting personal stories (including mine) as part of their new series called Voices of Health.…

Below is a long blog post about 2017, but I wanted to take the time this week to thank you all for reading my work. It’s been such an exciting year and it would not have happened without your support! For those of you who don’t know me in real life or on social media (how can that be possible?), here are some highlights from 2017: January – I launched The Tide Mill, which was named one of Oprah Magazine‘s best books for summer 2018.…

Below is a long blog post about 10 years of my life in the game industry. I hope that you will find it interesting and useful, even if only for entertainment value: The first half was written around April-May when I had time to reflect on what happened during last year (2015) as well as previous years. The second half is more recent, since May or June this year. It contains some details not mentioned previously, especially regarding the development process at EA and DICE over the past few months.…

Below is a long blog post about 10 years of living in the UK. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing and sharing our experiences with friends, family & anyone else who cares to read this! Sorry but there are no photos included – its way too lengthy for that! However if you’re interested please let us know your email address via info@cathygillan.com or through the contact page on www.…

Below is a long blog post about 2015 in film. I saw many films and did not see them all (there were soooo many good ones this year!). My top five are: The second best film of the decade, Carol was released on Christmas Day but it’s really more like an autumn film because that’s when you go to New England for Thanksgiving or fall getaways with your family. If there had been any doubt as to why Todd Haynes would be my favorite director working today, then he answered those doubts by making one of his best films yet.…

Below is a long blog post about 5,000 years of history. It’s not exactly fun reading but it can be interesting if you are into this sort of thing and want to know more than just the basics! I hope everyone has had an enjoyable weekend so far! The Babylonian Empire (ca. 1894 BCE – ca. 626 BC) was an Akkadian-speaking Mesopotamian empire in historical Iraq. The city of Babylon remained among the most important cultural centers throughout subsequent periods.…

Below is a long blog post about 2014. I’ll make it easier on you by putting the bulleted highlights at the top of this paragraph and then breaking down what happened in each category below that! The biggest thing to happen last year was my engagement, which occurred on April Fool’s Day. We had been dating for almost two years when we got engaged (and are now married). My fiancee, Katie, has always supported me as an artist, so her presence helped bring balance into my life.…

Below is a long blog post about 2013. I’ve written it because, in my own experience as an author and writer, people often ask how they can improve their writing or achieve success with their fiction… If you want to write better, then read more books on the craft of writing (see below for some suggestions). You need to learn from others who have achieved what you are trying to do – study them closely and see if there isn’t something you could incorporate into your work that might make yours stand out even further than before.…

Below is a long blog post about 3D printing, but I think it’s worth reading. It was written by an American tech journalist who had his kidney removed and he received two new ones from someone in China via the internet with no middlemen involved (the surgery was done in Australia). There were some complications during recovery because of unforeseen differences between donor organs grown outside the body vs those that grow inside people.…
