Minilog v1 complete. I really enjoyed this exercise of keeping a small book of sketches and thoughts over December. Onto the next one!
Intrigued by DuckDuckGo’s announcement that they are building their own web browser for the desktop.
After a brief flutter with Brave and Safari, I’m back to using Firefox again. I don’t think it’s a great browser, but it makes my web experience easier to do.
Nicholas Bate shares 22 possible goals for 2022. This list is a great list of goals to start with — hiking, cooking, reading, health, organising and notebooks.
I’m intrigued by Cal Newport’s Analog January Challenge.
I could certainly stay off the Twitter native app and website for the month, but I have a couple of Mailbrew newsletters that aggregate some Twitter lists for me. I wonder if these would still be allowed?
I’m chuffed with my banner for today’s minilog. Just one more day and I’ll have done this for 23 consecutive days.
Messing around with microStudio this morning. I thought this might be something for my youngest son to tinker around with over the holidays.
Bah. Just noticed that using a Sharpie comes through to the previous page. No more Sharpies for my daily pages now.
Projects that leave you better off, as a person, despite not being a commercial or critical success. If you work on projects like this, it’s impossible to waste your time.
— It must be worth it even if it doesn’t work by David Heinemeier Hansson
Love this.
I created up a Rails 7 app last night using the esbuild and Tailwind options. This is definitely a step in the right direction for Rails. Modern tooling for a stable framework. Love it!
I was going to post a link to a bit of Facebook news but I’ve decided against it. They’ve been given enough air time on the webs. Who needs to digest even more of it? Definitely not me and I suspect, not a lot of you microbloggers.
So, I’ll just say, have a good day everyone!
Ordered a couple of books from Derek Sivers this morning. I’ve opted for the hardbacks for durability. Nice to have the digital versions included in the price of the physical copies as well.
If today’s venture into the office was anything to go by, then you can keep it. Commuting in was fine, but the office was such a dark and grey environment when compared to my home office. Long may working from home continue.
I am heading into the office this morning to pick up a new laptop. It’s the first time in 18 months that I have had to do the morning commute. Even though it’s not as crowded as it used to be, I don’t miss it.
Disappointed to hear that Nock is winding down its retail store. I managed to grab a couple of Hightower cases before all the store stock disappeared. One as a backup replacement for my current Hightower and the other, a Christmas present for my youngest.
When we moved into current house, we had three oak trees across the street.
A few years ago, they had to cut one down as it was dead. Today, they’re cutting down the remaining two for the same reason.
I know they need to be cut down for safety reasons, but still sad to see.
Great day with Jen and the boys walking around Luss on the shores of Loch Lomond. It helped to clear the cobwebs.
