Today we are having friends over for fajitas (Cinco de Mayo and all but really we never need much of an excuse for fajitas or the like). That has meant lots of house cleaning and an otherwise low-key weekend.
I’d describe the past week as scattered but good. Lots of activity which is good but not necessarily a lot of stand-out. Here’s to the upcoming week!
Looking at the blog, I wrote:
- An introduction to my joining weblogpomo2024
- A write-up on creating a auto share posting bot on Mastodon (for weblogpomo2024)
- A little write-up on a song that’s super meaningful
- And a write-up on my newfound love of Album Whale
I’ve been able to post everyday in May so far - hopefully I’ll be able to keep this trend going!
A few links I found interesting this week:
- “I joined a bunch of landlord groups to subtly manipulate them into being better people” The link title is pretty self-explanatory and I thought it was a great read!
- “10 Lesser Known But Super Useful Obsidian Plugins”: I love obsidian and I love learning about how other people are using it.
There were other links worth sharing but they come from Weblogpomo and I’m waiting to do a best-of post at the end of the month!
Apps I’m trying
- Sofa: A new version dropped and it’s now a “catalogue and log anything in any way” app so I’m giving it another go. Currently monitoring media & restaurants. Liking it so far.
- Ketchup: This is more for my kids than me. A DB of all the Pokemon. Currently they are deciding if it’s worth their allowance to do the full unlock.
- Cleft: A note taker I saw mentioned on The Sweet Setup. I’ve been generally quite AI adverse but have had some close colleagues and friends encourage exploring it a little more and this one looked worth experimenting with a bit.
- Tusks: I’ve loved being increasingly active on Mastodon so naturally Tusks emphasis on managing and maintaining your own feed was attractive. It’s definitely worth checking out and experimenting with.
