Speaking of Kagi; I’m a little late to the party, but I get it now. I didn’t think I’d have use for a paid search engine, but I’m sold on it now. The only challenge is being mindful of the number of searches per day. If I stick with it, funding for other online things will need to take a hit.

I’m taking a look at the Orion web browser this morning. I like it so far, though I know I’ll probably end up sticking with one of the well established browsers for my day to day. I like that Kagi is the default search engine.

I’ve decided to move my wife and I from iCloud mail with custom domain over to Fastmail. Both are pretty secure, but Fastmail does better in the privacy department overall, plus ir has a whole bunch of other benefits. I think that’s worth $96/year.

If you’re a mnml user and you’ve tried adding the new PageFind action to a search page, but got nothing, well, it’s because some of mnml’s existing search styles conflict. I’ll work on fixing this soon. Sorry if this has tripped anyone up.

I’m looking at a new note taking app called Capacities. It’s an interesting idea. I like the idea of no folders.

There’s still some more work to do on my mnml updates, so they’re going to have to wait until next week.

I put in some good work today for a couple of cool new mnml features. One to make using images a little more flexible and the ability to copy code blocks directly from the web page. I hope to release them by tomorrow.

It’s been quite the week after returning to work. Tons of meetings to get debriefed on all that’s gone down and prepping for the Dreamforce conference next week. I won’t lie, I’m tired, and was yesterday.
A proper post on the week to come soon. And yes, my apex domain is back on Micro.blog again.

It’s hard to believe it, but today is my last day of medical leave. I return to the office on Monday. I’m both excited by it, and kind of dreading it. I’ve grown accustomed to the slower pace. If this is what retirement will be like, I’ll take it.

As a PSA for Micro.blog folk… If you’re not necessarily a fan of the book covers being displayed for your bookshelf related posts, you can hide the image by adding .microblog_book{display:none} to your custom CSS. It’s a great Mb addition, but if you’re minimalist like me, this is how to do it.

I pulled one of my basses out of the closet to noodle with it this morning. It’s been more than a year since I last played and my hands are so out of shape it was like being a novice all over again.
As they say, for every day missed, you lose two days. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.

Well… I woke up too early (4 am). It seemed like the right thing to do at the time, but I should’ve just stayed in bed a few more hours. I see a nap in my immediate future.
