Outlining my procrastination
I need to get my life priorities in order. For me, that means a list, one thing below the other. The one at the top is the one that needs to be done or thought or whatever first. I’ve been trying the OBTF (One Big Text File) approach for a month now. I started jotting stuff in Apple Notes and today I scrolled down to see and yeah, it’s been a month. Good trial period I think. This month was really…
Sunday at the office
It's Sunday. 4:20 P.M. I don't run my company right now. So why I'm at my employer's office? In short: because it's a 24 hour coworking building so, technically is not just my employer's. Also, I am now living only 50 meters away. So basically, I'm here because I wanted to change scenery. I'm not even doing day-job work related stuff. I think it's cool they rent this space, because I can come,…
I tooted instead of blogging
I wanted to make a blogpost about writing emails I like. Or emails I like to call good emails . I was excited by the idea. I stumbled upon a screenshot I have saved in an old Telegram conversation and wanted to share that. With you, with me, to be a part of my space here. I was sitting in the couch. Zen mode. Just finished moving water from one container to another. I wanted to express myslef…
Today is a perfect day to begin blogging
Manton said : Haven’t started a blog yet? Today is a perfect day to begin. I did start a blog (this one, and several other ones more than a decade ago). However, it is true that today is a perfect day to begin. Whether you started a blog or not. Especially if you haven’t yet. I take this as my reminder to write and share more. Sometimes I think I don’t have the need to share. And sometimes that’s…
Red fruit orange base smoothie photo
There’s this place I come regularly that has a nice eggs, salmon, avocado and toast brunch. One day, trying to reduce my diet coke consumption, I checked out the menu and saw they offered smoothies. I’m a sucker for red fruit, it said red fruit, the base is orange juice, no milk, crunched ice. Comes with a themed coloured straw that I use until it stops working and I go manual mode which is remove…
Where drafts belong
I was thinking I should start putting my drafts in my Bear Blog dashboard. Why? Well, for starters, I’ve got them scattered through Day One , Apple Notes , Drafts (the app) and probably some place else I can’t remember. Those drafts are all over the place because maybe they’re not drafts yet, maybe they are just ideas, and maybe that’s why some of them are tagged as #ideas. Now that I’m writing…
Browser tabs are distracting
I was trying to think, more like trying to find a soultion to a problem at work. This team I'm working with is relatively new so I'm experimenting with different written communication, let's say: techniques. So there I was, trying to focus, watching at the markdown.co.in markdown editor cursor thingy blinking in a fluorescent yellow (because that's how the dark mode looks) and it hit me: not only…
Eggs for breakfast photo
I just read The greatest breakfast food in existence and emailed the author this photo below. I thought it could be nice to share with anyone who enjoys nice eggs, so here it is. Other photo posts I just took a photo Here’s another photo Avocado BW photo Red fruit orange base smoothie photo
2 custom CMSes from 2 great guys
Two very active guys in the indie web are making and using their own blog systems, sharing the process and open sourcing it; and I think that’s beautiful. One of them is Jim Mitchell who I started paying attention to when he talked about a health thing I was going trough. I emailed him about it and he was incredibly kind to me. His system is called Clodd CMS . The other one is Kev Quirk who is…
