March 24, 2020#002 - Clovis in Kigali, Rwanda - dealing with COVID-19 fears, learning to work from home, and the reality in Rwanda
Cleophas (AKA Clovis) is from Rwanda, and part of the Meshpower team, a for-profit enterprise working to bring electricity connection to the nearly half of the Rwandan population still without access by 2024.
As I was chatting with Clovis the Rwandan government announced a lockdown, and the reality is that he is deeply concerned. Not only about himself, but about the Rwandan population that leaves close to the poverty line and is not able to work from home - who will be really hard hit.
Listen in to find out more, how he's dealing with it, and the opportunities he finds for his own personal development.
We talk about some music, so here it is:
Chop my money (Remix) by P Square, a Nigerian song with over 38m views which will light up any party;

Pala Pala and Buhoro Buhoro by King James, a Rwandan artist;

Whistle by Flo Rida (not Jason Derulo as mistakenly said in the podcast!);

March 24, 2020#001 - Peter Irving in Austin, Texas - on working from home before and after the quarantine and the freedom of being an introvert
As a freelance mobile developer, Peter is no stranger to working from home.
But dealing with COVID-19 and self quarantining still changed the game.
In this catch up we discuss the highs and lows of working from home, having more time for creative endeavours, and the perks of being an introvert.
Highlights below, and you can also grab some blues guitar lessons with Peter at https://funkyrootsguitar.com/
Some highlights:
More time at home means perfect time to hone up on technical skills. Peter was able to go through a 7 hour course in the last week alone. In the past, he learnt iOS and Flutter development on his own, using Udemy courses.

But there is also time to spend on creative endeavours, such as getting better on the guitar

Peter is also finding Friends and Family are open to good conversations over the phone, so he makes a point of having at least one good call a day

There is less pressure to go out and socialise - it's OK to stay home and do something hours on end
We geeked out about:
Fast Fourier Transforms, and how they can be used in signal processing, such as identifying the the note played when someone plays a chord on the Guitar. It's fascinating and powerful Maths stuff. If you're at all interested, you can read more about that here.

The Expanse, the sci-fi show Peter is loving on Amazon Prime

2001 Space Odyssey - the book by Arthur C Clarke
