👋 Hi there!

I love these kinds of short documentaries about a super specific subject. It’s really well made and now I kind-of want to be a bike messenger in Seoul too!

From Scratch: The only bike messengers in Seoul // Eui Ho Kim at Gig Courier 무(無)에서와 다른 이야기들

(Also the bag he has is amazing, but it’s a custom-made one for Tserv, a Japanese Bike Messenger Company and you can’t buy them, unfortunately.)

I could stare at this for ages, so many little details to spot.

• Update homepage to show content of notes, instead of just links

• Update all crates to the latest version

• Ran clippy and fixed all issues

• Fix canonical URL issue, I’ve added a meta tag to designate the canonical url (The Axum router accepts an optional trailing slash, confusing Google)

• Add h-entry and h-card elements to all content pages for better content discovery

• Add web mentions for blog posts, trips, notes and photos.

• Add task system, so I can run things post-publish (even with scheduled posts), such as sending webmentions and future POSSE tasks.

• Add sync to Mastodon for Trip posts and blog posts

• Add Like button

• Add click/linkable subheadings

This post by Danila is about nice microfeatures for personal websites and while I don’t like every feature described, it does contain a few things I’d like to implement

• Linkable headers

• ToC for long articles

• Blogs I read to spread some link love

Pretty good and a very fun crowd!

I signed up for a trail run a few weeks ago and this morning it was time to start running in a forest. The run consists of three separate loops (green, blue, red), each about 7.5-8 Kilometers in length. The start/finish of all three loops is at the same place, and you can also get water/energy drinks and snacks there (bananas, sweets, crackers, nuts etc.).

Originally, I planned to do one loop, as I hadn’t been able to train all that much, and I trained for 7.5K. But after the first loop I felt great and had enough energy to do the second (blue) loop. I was there with two friends who planned to do two loops from the beginning, so I joined them for the second loop.

After the second loop,and this was already the furthest I’ve ever run in a single session (15K), they wanted to do the third (red) loop as well. I wasn’t sure if I’d make it, but I figured I could always just stop and walk back if I needed to.

And that’s how I managed to do a 24K run today.

Hopefully I won’t regret this tomorrow or the next week.

[update] I haven’t regretted it! Apart from some muscle aches I’m fine!

Bought two new A3 prints from Ano Studio. They are a limited, and I managed to snag number 48/50 and 44/50.

• Added the Asia 2024 trip

• Updated my now page

• Updated my uses page

• Changed the mobile rendering of a trip “day” to not use up 80% of the vertical height. I don’t do many vertical photos so they always looked weird in vertical mode. I do have to figure out a better way to differentiate between “checkins” and “posts” on the trip page.

• Updates to pages now set the updated field to the current time. (shown on now/uses pages)

• Add timeline of latest posts/trips/notes to the homepage

Miso Ramen noodles with Chashu from the Instant Pot 4 out of 5, would have liked a bit more Miso taste.

Statistically this is the most dangerous item in my kitchen.

(yes I did slice yet another part of my thumb off)
