Sebastian explains why guestbooks are nice:

But sitting down and working your butt off for several minutes to create a tiny, silly drawing on a screen that’s way too small in an interface that’s way too cramped, that’s the kind of appreciation and recognition that, in my opinion, is needed much more often on the internet these days. Probably more urgent today than ever before.

Need I say more?

Over the past few days, I’ve been taking walks again. This was something I used to do regularly, but now that I sit here on a park bench, I realize it’s probably only been a weekly habit at best.

Both weather and work kept me away from my walks. With the weather getting better and work pressing, which means I need to reset my brain often, I find myself craving walks more often.

Sometimes I catch myself thinking about how we take certain things for granted. This park, this bench, this pleasant breeze right now; the fact that I can walk at all. It’s all truly wonderful, isn’t it?

A phone battery experiment:

Manu is considering charging his phone once twice a week. He lives in a “quiet place” that, I suspect, makes that possible. Meanwhile, I usually charge my phone once a day, even though the battery is still OK. Makes me wonder.

Of Overworking and Deligating

I asked for help, and now I have to sink even more time into delegation, training, and documentation. The solution? Go SLOWER when everything’s on fire. Yes, really.

Been watching Common Side Effects 📺. Somehow I’m already mostly done with Season 1. Part sci-fi, part suspense, part drama, dark and appealing.

It’s Pie day for me.

Well, the pie day was on March (3/14). But every month on the 14th, I decided to have a pizza. Otherwise, I don’t eat cheese. I stopped completely, besides unavoidable butter in some pastries and such. 📷 🍕

Two slices of pizza with spinach and cheese are on a cardboard box next to a can of Diet Coke.

Technical debt, aka I keep forgetting about custom.css

Wait, how can something on a website be broken to one degree or another? Is it broken or not? Well, you see… CSS.

Re: Who Knows That You Blog?

I have a nuanced answer for this. I share personal topics while trying to balance privacy, and I’m open to discussions about my life. How do you feel about this?

I didn’t know that extra info about.bar files! Pretty awesome you came up with it.

I will explore the backup option for the blog, I just wrote a post wondering about a contingency plan for mb. Is there anything like it?
