This week was probably the most social I’ve been in months, it was nice to get out and do things.

Coming off an extended bout of sickness I mostly took it easy this week, I wasn’t physically feeling up for an early morning gym session and it rained most evenings which I didn’t want to chance so this also ended up being a relatively sedentary week.

Life On Monday I went to see a doctor about the fever that was destroying me last weekend and got a full week of medicines and a Paracetamol IV drip to help get it out of my system.

Now that I’m feeling a lot better, time to actually write this weeknote.

Life I spent most of this week watching the original Avatar: The Last Airbender show, after watching Drew Gooden’s very eloquent and passionate rant about how the live action remake gets literally everything wrong.

Rather slow week for me as I was sick for the first 2 days, but things kept happening anyway 🙃 Socializing The gang had booked tickets for Spider-Man: Brand New Day so we got together to watch that on Friday evening.

Personal Going through my journal it seems I did little this week outside of read, end up napping since I was reading in bed, then wake up and read again.

Expand image After seemingly endless teasing, we finally got a bit of welcome rain Personal I had my passport application appointment this week, which got denied due to my landlord leaving the rent agreement incomplete 🙃.

NOTE I used LLMs to help debug some of the code explained below, and ended up throwing away a lot of it while re-reviewing that work as part of writing this post.

Personal Relatively quiet week for me as I mostly focused on getting back to exercising which has been going well.

Just a quick apology to all subscribers of the RSS feed, whom I accidentally sent a lot of duplicate posts to.

NOTE This post is part of the JulyReply blogging event Gordon wrote about his blog posts being stuck in draft, which is a problem I also have to some extent – my drafts site has 75 posts right now compared to the 67 on the main site.

I finally got my first spam Webmention on this site Expand image A spam post from Bluesky that bridged over as a Webmention I chanced across this on one of my weeknotes, which seems to have already been deleted by Bluesky moderation or the poster by the t…

Expand image I don't think I did justice to how pretty the Moon looked that night Personal My health was finally good enough this week to return to the gym, felt nice to be back in the swing of things.

NOTE This post will mention Cloudflare.

Personal I’ve been cooped up at home for most of this week due to health problems and just general ~~vibes~~ so there wasn’t a lot happening to talk about.

Rough week in the health department but the brain juices have held up against all odds.

I talked in last week’s weeknote about how I was struggling with getting my Miniflux reader situation under control, and what I was attempting to identify the problem.

Expand image Saw this angry fuzzball after a long while Life I didn’t do much this week, owing to busy times at $DAYJOB and then having my semiannual burst of motivation which had me doing a lot of work on Claw.

Yash has been out this week for his trip to Europe, so I’ve been by myself and mostly filled that time with work and games.

Pretty “happening” week this time around!

As I’m sitting down to write this weeknote and looking through my outline, I’m realizing that I remember basically nothing I am reading.

This week was relatively quiet all things considered, all the “excitement” was at work related to things I cannot share yet :) We had two big meetings this week with leadership, first the R&D All Hands with our engineering leadership and then celebrating…

I’m dreading starting this weeknote because the cliff notes I auto-generate from my daily journal (explained here) are effectively two pages long.

Welcome to the new website!

On Wednesday 22nd April this site was down for a few hours in the morning India time thanks to Netlify failing to renew its certificate.

This week was a bit of a roller coaster, lots of fun and not-so-fun things happened but I’ve come out of the other end feeling good and that’s all that really matters.

It was my birthday this week!

Barely managing to squeeze this in thanks to a super packed Sunday.

This is a post for April Cools, encouraging people to break out of their standard fare and write something new.

This week has been a bit of a roller coaster, was having a pretty normal week then got hit with a nasty Flu to cap it off in the worst way possible.

Life As I mentioned last week, I watched Iron Lung on Monday.

As I mentioned in my last weeknote, I set up Calibre-Web last week which necessitated the use of a forward authentication setup to work with my existing SSO provider.

I am starting to realize that every other week I talk about traveling somewhere, in the midst of which I also threw in the part about being somewhat lonely and depressed when I had to be by myself in one place for a couple of weeks.

Barely anything of note happened this week as practically my whole team was out-of-office so I was both working and living alone which made for an incredibly boring time.

NOTE I wrote this in an emotional fit and it’s only being published because I have been peer pressured at IndieWebClub to make it public.

Warning: Feelings My roommate Yash is back with his parents for a couple of weeks, which has left me alone in the house and quite severely exposed my delusion of being a loner.

I’ll apologize upfront: I’m going to talk about food a lot and not share any pictures because I have the excuse of my CMS not supporting the asset pipeline I want to establish.

This was my first week back in the office after an absence of 3 weeks which was a nice return to my usual routine.

After 3 weeks of being away, I am finally back in Bengaluru this weekend.
