Today is the first day at work after our vacation. I was gone for about 10 days. So I've started with checking my emails, and I thought I'd get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of emails, but it's not too bad. 75% were dependency updates, and the rest were some meeting invitations or changes.
Besides work, I also did this first workout after 10 days. It still amazes me how fast the body degrades. I was able to do all my reps, but the muscles are sore. On vacation we also had all-inclusive with drinks and food. And I used it. Possibly not the best for my body. 🫠
I'm happy to be back in my routine. It's always a bit hard for me to not have a routine for the day and week. Let's see what the week will bring.
After I've completed writing the text above, I've realized talking about 10 days sounds sooo huge, but it's just 10 days. Not a year or something else. 😅
Wow, the release was already 3 months ago. 😲 On 06/07/2025, I made the first public release of my Pelletyze app. In the first week of July, I had some intense coding sessions, getting everything to a point where I was confident enough to release it to the world. I'm really happy with how everything turned out.
While checking Electron Apps to see if they cause System-Wide Lag on Tahoe, I've updated Obsidian to the latest version and saw in the release notes that v1.9 introduced Bases as a new core-plugin.
When I have some time, I need to give this a proper test. IF this is working as expected, maybe I can migrate away from Notion to Obsidian. It would be interesting to see if this is working on the data I've collected over the last 6 years. And perhaps I can also add then all the data I have collected in txt files in the 10-15 years before I used Notion. 😅
Finally, we arrived at home after our trip back from our vacation. What should have been a 5-hour trip resulted in 13 hours. We started at 6 in the morning and opened the door to our home at around 7 in the evening. Luckily the kids were supportive, and we were able to stay sane.
Props to the Berlin Airport for causing so much trouble. 🫠
I’ve found this quote somewhere, sadly I don’t remember where. A small research about this, suggests only a similar quote from Winston’s Churchill: “Perfection is the enemy of progress”. If someone knows, where this is coming from, please let me know.
I wanted to write about this topic for a while now, so this post title was written with an empty body and waiting to be completed.
It should have happened much earlier, but I had 2 people I still have followed and were not migrated to other networks. I was mostly interested in their doings and not their views. Sadly, they talked more about their views and not their doings.
I still think too much about stuff, instead of just doing something.
For example writing posts. I have a lot of ideas but something was holding me back. I’ve already completed the #100DaysToOffload one time. And I thought I’ve found a good
Flow on writing posts. But there is always room for improvement.
I was silent for a long time now. The same pattern I had last year. I would blame the summer for this, but I think there are multiple factors here. I had plenty of projects going on in the past half year, privately and professionally. And I still have a lot on my plate. But I also want to complete the #100DaysToOffload challenge again.
