Starting with a new year means it‘s time to make a little recap of the previous year. 2025 was....interesting.

Another year means another round of App Defaults.

Since June this year, I’ve been working with a new customer at PlanB.

As I’m currently move all my data away from US companies one of the major task is to move to a self-hosted file storage and sharing solution.

It’s been a while since the last version of my Obsidian Location Plugin.

Over the last 4,5 years I was working in a team that mostly worked remotely.

Another year in the books.

As many people currently updating their app defaults list, I'll use the time for an update of my list as well.

I recently moved one of my projects to Cloudflare Pages and it's awesome.

August is in the books and it was a fully packed month for myself.

In April I released my first plugin for Obsidian, the Location Plugin.

The year is halfway through.

Picture the following situation.

My colleagues often asking me questions about specific Git functionality.

Another month is in the books.

If you're using Astro for one of your projects and creating a multi language website you may want to translate some parts automatically.

Here we are.

Backstory This blog is build using the Astro library and I write my posts using markdown.

Recently I found on the internet this beautiful website where Robb was talking about app defaults in the linked podcast episode.

After stressful weeks and days ending 2023 and in the beginning of 2024 I finally found a resting day last Saturday.

Another year is about to finish so it‘s time for a short review.

As I mostly work with devices in the Apple ecosystem I also often use the Apple Shortcuts for some things I need to improve or automate.

Hint TIL: sections on my blog are small things I learned or notice during my day.

There are a bunch of cool Visual Studio Code extensions out there.

I'm now working from home since the beginning of 2020 for a longer time.

...it makes it hard for me.

Yes, I'm frontend developer but maybe Javascript developer would be more accurate because I'm not using CSS that much.

I bet every Javascript developer has used JSON.stringify before.
