Gave the site a little makeover — should look a bit nicer now. Also added a Photos section with some random shots just for fun. Still very much a work in progress, but that’s part of the fun!

Seems like my unplanned break from Mastodon (and the rest of social media) has quietly come to an end — just like it quietly began. No big story, it just… happened. And now I’m back. I think. Might even update my homepage too, who knows!

I have made some updates to the site's style, but there may still be room for improvement.

Additionally, I have switched from using Hugo to a custom static page generator for content aggregation.

I made a small command line tool for time tracking with absence.io. I mainly use a terminal and a text editor when I’m working so now there is no need for browser when I need to change my status.

The new micropub server seems to be working well. With a bit more fine-tuning it could be ready for release.

I did a rewrite of the micropub server, which is still a work in progress. The previous version was written in PHP, but the new version is written in Crystal.

A few months ago I tried Nim because I wanted to learn a new language, but it didn't work for me. But I immediately fell in love with Crystal.

Winter still trying to hold on. -28℃.

I spent a couple of days learning about micropub.

Recently, I lost my Instagram account. It was frustrating and disappointing. I had built up a significant following and enjoyed connecting with my followers.

However, I decided to move on and start using a website to share my content. I will share my content also on Mastodon, Pixelfed, Github, and Flickr.
