I spent a bit of time on my new Micro.blog theme tonight. All elements have been refined, and a splash of colour has been added. And thanks everyone for the positive feedback so far!

It might be time to buy another batch of AirTags. There’s nothing in the feature updates that screams game-changer, but they’re convenient to have. Our oldest bagged a couple from our first batch for going to the States. I could do with a couple more, especially one for my laptop bag.

I planned to start the year with a more consistent blogging pattern, but that went right out the window. To be honest, my thoughts are on a lot of other things at the moment. Things I haven’t been able to put into words.

Moving over to FastMail

After a few months using Proton, I decided it wasn’t for me. I found it cumbersome to use, and despite its excellent reputation for respecting users’ privacy, I missed a few features since moving from Hey.

This evening, I completed a switch over to FastMail. I managed to migrate all my email from both Proton and Hey, and FastMail has the features that I am looking for to mimic what I had in Hey.

As great as SourceHut is, I wish there were an easier way of creating labels for ticket tracking. Importing a CSV seems like the most trivial way I could think of. If you were importing labels as a CSV, I imagine you would also want to export them as a CSV as well.

A horrible playoff weekend for Packers fans once again.

I’m still on the fence about Matt LaFleur’s position at Green Bay as head coach. There has been criticism over decisions this year. If he stays on, I’d like to see an offensive coordinator step in and take over play-calling duties.

Not that fans of LaFleur’s Green Bay Packers are interested in any of that after their team — their coach, to hear some of the criticism — surrendered a 15-point fourth-quarter lead at Soldier Field, falling 31-27 to the Chicago Bears in the wild-card round.

Annoying that one of SourceHut’s Pages’ limitations is their strict CSP header, which means that everything for your website needs to be self-hosted. That rules out using Tinylytics tracking for my portfolio site. I can always host it elsewhere, but I can live without the analytics for the moment.
