This week note covers the week of 4th–10th May.

Life#

After a gap of three weeks, I finally felt recovered enough last week to be more physically active. I was able to hit the gym twice, and also go for a run after a break of a whole month. I also walked 20kms. It was nice to feel the energy back in my body.

The downside was the soreness and exhaustion I felt most of the time. I barely could do anything else outside work. I wasted a lot of time staring at the screens before I finally got so fed up on Saturday that I went for a long walk. It was just before the rains and the weather was amazing. The walk refreshed me and brought me out of the zombieness.

I seem to be going through some sort of SAD spell, most likely due to the summer heat making me unable to do fun things outside. There is only so much staring I can do into my void of screens. Hopefully, the rains are here to stay and cool it down a bit. I really want to get back to my 10000 steps per day.

Current daily average steps per month: 8524

I’m into a month of my low-card diet now. I’ve lost only a little weight; at this rate this would go for many months. I lose patience occasionally and reach out for that snack or icecream, but as a whole, I think I’m doing good braving those late night hunger pangs.

IndieWebClub#

Here’s the biggest thing I worked on this week: IndieWebClub Bangalore: Special Edition Meetup. The club completes a year in 10 days, and we are celebrating with a special meetup where we invite the folks from the community to deliver lightning talks about creating and using the independent and person world-wide web. If you are interested, please submit a talk proposal. It is going to be awesome!

I’m one of the organizers and this is my first time organizing a conference-like community event. I recently learned that at least two of my friends have also organized conferences in past couple months. Is this what my generation of middle-aged persons are picking up as hobby? If so, I’m here for it.

Personal Projects#

My attention had been quite scattered last week. I started working on too many things and didn’t finish any. I have three projects and three blogposts in pipeline at various stages of completion.

I created a small and self-contained RSS/Atom feed mixer that runs on Github action and pages. I actually extracted it out of the IWCB website source.

Reading and Watching#

Pretty much same as the week before. I continue watching Witch Hat Atelier. It is more slice-of-life than fantasy at this point. That’s ok, I like it either way.

Social Media#

I reached a thousand posts on Fediverse last week. And it took me only 3.5 years.

Interesting Internet Links#

That’s all for this week. You can subscribe to the feed of my week notes for updates.
