I’m going to start building out my photo collections into pages. I’ve started with photos after the ice storm in Toronto in 2013. I’ll also gradually build a collections index, but this is a good start.
I finished reading Wool by Hugh Howey last night. The first book finished for this year’s reading goal and the first time in a while that I’d finished a book in just under a week.
It is not a million miles from the television series but a bit faster-paced. 📚
This is the first chance I’ve had to post this today. Good walk this morning.
I’ve managed to walk during my lunch hour three days in a row.
I have a meeting tomorrow at lunchtime though, so I may need to reschedule my walk for the morning instead.
This is going to be amazing. I love the games and the soundtracks, and the first season of the television series was great. An absolute must-watch.
Walking the local trails with Jennifer this afternoon. Even on this grey and cold day, it’s still a great place to walk.
First Paragraph - Wool
The children were playing while Holston climbed to his death; he could hear them squealing as only happy children do. While they thundered about frantically above, Holston took his time, each step methodical and ponderous, as he wound his way around and around the spiral staircase, old boots ringing out on metal treads.

My track record of reading books has been woeful over the last few years. I thought I would try something different this year. I’ll be posting the first paragraph of each book I’m starting, and I’m using Micro.blog’s Epilogue app to track what I’m reading through the year.
I enjoyed the first season of Apple TV’s Silo, and I’ve just started watching the second season. It seemed like a good fit to start reading something I was familiar with.
It’s been a pain having to work past the good sunsets this week, so today, I finished early and captured some of the blue hour tonight.
It’s not quite as blue as I hoped. If the skies are clear, I might try again over the next few days.
Giving Ghostty a spin
A couple of months ago, I started to give Hyper, the terminal emulator a spin. Fed up with iTerm2, I wanted to try out a couple of other terminal emulators. Hyper was the only one that I thought I could really use, so I decided to use it as my go-to terminal emulator, but the trial didn’t pan out, so I switched back to my default one.
Just before Christmas, though, I read that Ghostty has reached 1.0. Intrigued, I downloaded the terminal emulator and got a minimal configuration setup.
So far, I really like what I see. It’s still short of iTerm2 regarding features and customisation, but Ghostty is noticeably fast. I don’t have any benchmarks to verify this, but the speed is noticeable. While I don’t know that it’s quicker than iTerm2, it is fast enough for me to use daily. But best of all, Ghostty is free and open source.
This could pan out to be my new default terminal emulator.
