Unpopular opinions: unpopular opinion posts are very interesting look into minds of people and their inability to assess popularity of opinions
Currently reading: The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong 📚
Read a book: Finnish fantasy this time. Nice, easy read (if you know Finnish natively, that is). Mixes Finnish realism with fantasy elements. Midnight sun comes with spirits and monsters and tells also a story of climate change and forgotten and dying countryside. Highly recommend it
Finished reading: Hobitti eli Sinne ja takaisin by J. R. R. Tolkien 📚
Read this book in three different editions: English paperback, audiobook and in Finnish. You can’t tell me this isn’t a perfect little book. Similar to what ”Paranoid” is to rock songs
I’ve been debugging CSS that looks weirdly off for days and can’t get it to look nice. Then I realized I was looking at a 150% zoomed-in window I had opened for presenting the page at a meeting. How is your day going?
Idea for iOS — conditional screen time: the system only let’s you procrastinate after you have completed your todo list of the day. No social media before laundry and no games before Duolingo
Anyone use Airtable to automate memos and press releases, I have a document that is 95% same and the changing parts are easy to parameterize. Can I somehow go from data in Airtable to PDF document (roughly 2 pages) easily? Or should I use something else?
Finally saw Megalopolis. This was an awesome mess, perfect movie for me. I wish there was movies like this
Never done anything with Wordpress, but this drama still makes me uneasy. Can you no longer trust massively popular open source projects either?
This was a good text on relationships: don’t waste time on people who are not into you
Because attractive, non-needy, high self-worth people don’t have time for people who they are not excited to be with and who are not excited to be with them. Fuck yeah.
It is 5 years since I left Twitter and 5 years since I joined micro.blog. There are many excellent options for short-form blogging now, and the world is a better place for it. Cheers for microblogging diversity
Started reading: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien 📚. The book I love the most. Re-read number I don’t even. This is like a perfect rock song of a book: short, full of love and energy, and magic
Currently reading: A History of Roman Britain by Peter Salway 📚
Finished reading: The Anglo-Saxons by Marc Morris 📚
Finished reading: Translation State by Ann Leckie 📚
Such a lovely book about Presger translators and their capabilities (and their appetite)
Currently reading: The Anglo-Saxons by Marc Morris 📚
Finished reading: The Dark Tower I by Stephen King 📚. Something I already finished on my holiday. I must say I won’t read this series further, definitely not for me. Somehow I do not care for the characters even if the world looks interesting. I felt I must have missed something as this seems to be generally well regarded novel
I’ve been so happy with Airpods Pro noise cancellation before I started using WH-1000s. With big headphones I can imagine outside world sounds don’t exist at all and that has now ruined airpods ANC for me. But I don’t want to wear heavy headphones all the time either
Currently reading: Translation State by Ann Leckie 📚
Finished reading: Provenance by Ann Leckie 📚. Finally finished this. This is not quite Raadchai trilogy level, but then again, what is?
