About the things that are going on right now. More or less...

August 2025

With one more day of vacation, I am trying to avoid to get too early into work mode and rather focus on getting some things done that not related to work. Which is code for: "having touched the laptop in quite some time and am surprised it still works", but now am slowly getting back into the groove.

Starting with, the blog, of course. My all-time time-sink:

Blog

Every now and then I try to update/import some of the older posts but as usual this turns out to be somewhat annoying, but I am getting there. Also would like to check the new features of Ghost 6.0 which has just been released today. Ghost now has stats built-in, which means I can now see that no-one but myself is visiting this.

Pen/Paper

I am changing things up again, hopefully for the better, and moving to the Hobonichi system and pen-wise I am going with the 0.5 Jetstream. I will go further into this in an upcoming post.

My summer reading didn't quite work out as planned, but currently am reading:

  • Michael Palin: Diaries - The Python Years

July 2025

The blog-move goes on and I continue to enjoy using Ghost. Takes away quite a bit of stress that I had been creating for myself using Hugo or whatever. Despite planning to do a fresh-start I realized that there are quite a few posts that I either miss having on site, or that seem relevant in one way or the other.

So, I am importing those and whatever post links from or to them. This is as annoying as it sounds and will take a while. Also I am wondering how to best organize the /now-pages so that the old entries are not getting lost. I have some ideas, but am still working on those.

Ghost has a collection-feature, maybe this could be used for that. Let's see.
