Notes for the Week #23 (2026)

This week note covers the week of 1st–7th June.

Life#

Last week was a week of rest and recovery. I felt better with each passing day. I wonder if what happened to me in the last month was some sort of echo of my burnout and spell of illness of the last year. But this time I didn’t wait six months, I immediately started focusing on resting and nutrition. I hope this cuts down my recovery period substantially. Although I can walk ten thousand steps a day, I’m not forcing myself too, at least for next few weeks.

The weather has been fine. I’m sad to miss exercising outside, but resting is a priority for now. I’ll try going to the gym this week. Let’s see.

Personal Projects#

I stayed indoors, and spent all my free time working on feed-repeat, my recently open-sourced niche Haskell project. One of the things I did was to create a website for it, so now you can read about the work I did right there. I’m very close to a second release.

I also upgraded NixOS to version 26.05 on my VPS. I ran into a snag, that I ranted about on internet.

IndieWebClub#

There was no IWC meetup last week, but a few folks wrote about the Special Edition meetup in their blogs, which was really nice to read about. I also wrote about it, specifically about the behind-the-scenes work we did to make it happen.

Watching#

Wife and I started watching Spider Noir on Prime Video. It’s a great show but I’m a little disappointed that it’s mostly Noir and very less Spider.

I finished watching Bocchi the Rock!. What a great show! It made me start going to music classes again.

Interesting Internet Links#

• Quality in the Age of Slop
• Thinking about names, as well as scuba diving
• A Reckless Introduction to Hindley-Milner Type Inference
