Back to using Firefox as a default browser! My brief stint with Arc is over. I liked it for the split view feature. I disliked it for disappearing tabs, confusing bookmarking functionality, too much visual distance (read ux) between active tabs and missing compartmentalization.

Last week on Hacker Newsletter I found this article about a better way to use your function keys on Mac. I am on the third day trying this out and probably it will stick. I really like to get used to this.

Since around three weeks I transfer one todo to each next day. Somehow don’t take the time to do it, but would be great to actually tick it off. Maybe I am scared to start work on it. The todo?

Moin. Staying home with the little one today as she is sick once again. 😷🤒 Trying to get some client work done in between things.

An advanced phishing scam for Apple IDs

Warning: Advanced phishing attack. Got a pop up on both my iPhone & Apple Watch about password reset. I didn’t take action. Then received call from 1-800-MY-APPLE.

Tiny “game”: Who can tell me what that is?

I just found an empty note in Obsidian with the title “Haruki Murakami and Ursula Gräfe”. Now I would like to know why I created that. No idea. Ursula is the translator for many Murakami novels in German. Guess I will just delete it.

I have a list of 30+ book recommendations saved from people whose opinions I value. What I have not saved is the way they talked about the book and why I should read it, or what moved me to save it. Because I don’t save every recommendation. I guess I should add that to Obsidian.

The one who opens espresso beans like this is a bad person.

Mach dem Radtraining ist vor der Prophylaxe! Moin vom Zahnarzt

Guten Morgen. Jetzt gleich wieder auf das Rad, trainieren!

Started reading yesterday: Project Hail Mary: A Novel by Andy Weir 📚 I am on page 44 right now, somewhere in the third chapter I believe. Almost couldn’t stop reading it, but had to make dinner for the family. Really great start to a book!

Finished reading: The Art of Gig 1: Foundations by Venkatesh Rao 📚 I liked the book and learned something new about consulting!

So I managed to buy a ticket for RadRace Tour de Friends 7 in Italy in September. I already rode it in 2021, before my big injury/rebirth 🤞🤘 Now I will be back and I am happy beyond words. Training began this evening with a structured test of my FTP and a new 12-weeks plan 💪

Last night I had a dream where I was searching for a song. I heard the melody in my head and tried to find out which song it was. I didn’t find out in my dream. And now, I still hear the melody and MUST FIND THE SONG. This is how your dreams can become reality. 🫣

I started December thinking I would find the time to do the Advent of Code challenges but no. It didn’t fit into my schedule. Don’t know yet, what I think about this.

If your work isn’t more useful or insightful or urgent than GPT can create in 12 seconds, don’t interrupt people with it.

As often Seth puts it very clearly.
