I think that WordPress is a really good idea and I’m drawn to it, but I really dislike the direction it has been moving in the last few years. I really want to be able to use it for web sites, but every time I start using it I stop because I can’t stand the “modern” WordPress.

I like the expression “web house” that @danielpunkass and @manton coined

New AirPods … my old ones have started to have some serious issuess (i.e. battery life) and I wanted to make sure that I could get the second generation and not one of the newer versions

I know how to end all conflicts in the world !!! Let everyone involved use Microsoft Teams and we will see a united front against the enemy.

It’s not often I’m more than happy to pay an upgrade fee, but paying for SpamSieve is something I’m very much OK with (I actually bought a second copy once just to support the developer)

😂 Just checked how two of my favorite programming languages (all time) are rated. One is the most popular and the other is in the “too little use to actually be rated” category.

It’s kind of interesting: I have a lot of apps for writing text and I do use them, but as soon as start to write something more than a few paragraphs I go back to BBEdit. And when I do, everything feels much better.

Today’s event 1: the announcement of LUMIX G9 II. Event 2: the announcement of iPhone 15. Not exactly the same amount of money. But what would I buy if I had the money? I’m not 100% sure, but I think I would go for the G9 II.

This “import everything into micro.blog” project will be interesting and take more time than I thought. Well, if micro.blog breaks in the next two weeks, I take full responsibility 😂

To be completely honest: I’m surprised that I’m not missing Twitter … at all. I’ve had a Twitter account since 2007, and during the years it had become my source for tech news. It was a habit to open Twitter in the morning, during the day and, in the evenings to read about … read more

Step 2 in my “move-everything-to-one-blog” quest is now completed. Should now be able to move about 1000 posts. Step 3 write script to move another 700 or so. Step 4 will be the move of 200-300. Step 5 about 2000. Unfortunately there is a significant overlap for step 2, 4 and 5

I’ve been using 1Password v7 and v8 on different computers for 1-2 years, and I still much prefer the UI of v7.

I don’t like web sites that send an email with a “magic” link to log in

I remember having seen various discussions about read-later services, unfortunately I’ve forgotten what services was discussed and if they were any good (and who participated in the discussions). Anyway, I’m looking for a new read-later service, do you have any recommendations? I know about Pocket, Instapaper. I want something that is preferably iOS, macOS, web.

My take on Threads: since I live in the EU, I don’t have to care == 👍🏻

Things are getting interesting. I stopped using Facebook several years ago because … well, Facebook. I also stopped using Twitter because “recent events”. I’ve only used Reddit via Apollo and since Apollo has shut down I don’t see myself using Reddit anymore. I don’t watch TV that have ads within the programs because I find it highly disrupting. I can’t stand podcasts that have the same type of ads, but I do listen on podcasts where the ads are relevant and presented in good way. Now, it looks like I might be reducing my YouTube watching a lot in the future, if they enforce this “max 3 videos if you don’t watch ads or pay premium”.

I’m not really complaining, I’m just noticing that things are changing and my behavior is going to change (more time to spend on other things). These companies absolutely have the option to do this, and I have the option to not join in.

And before you go “but the content creators, shouldn’t they earn some money?” Yes, they should and that is why I’m supporting some of them directly.

Microsoft Teams is a really bad joke

A few months ago I discovered that Smugmug have increased the subscription price significantly Year Subscription 2016 $75 2017-2024 $89.95 (I payed for three years in 2021) I remember thinking that $90/year was a lot of money, but since I liked SmugMug I decided to renew. However, the current price … read more

I’ve found it to be very convenient to edit photos on my iPad, it’s not where I edit 100+ photos but if I got less than 50, then I really like editing in Lightroom Mobile. My main photo app is Lightroom Classic, I’m not enthusiastic about it, but I’m used to it and knows how … read more
