Four years ago on this day, the government decided to close all schools and universities because of Covid-19. It was hard to get toilet paper or pasta because people started hoarding. Crazy what happened in those four years.
What should I do with my new domain?
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
I recently complained about domain registrars. But I also recently registered a new domain: j7s.me. A numeronym of my first name. And the .me TLD to show that I am a person. (And it is a short domain that was available.)

I received my blood results last week and have since been taking high dose vitamin D pills (also B12 and folic acid once a week) to improve my extremely low levels (~9 ng/ml).
I feel as if it’s already having an effect: I have more energy throughout the day and feel much better mentally. But it could also be a placebo effect. 🤔

Recently, I came across ooh.directory. A blog directory that lists blogs from all sorts of categories. (My blog is listed there, too).

I’ve tried a few shaving methods since I started growing a beard in puberty. I started with a Gillette Mach 3, various no-name shavers because the cartridges are cheaper, and two electric shavers.

Today I learned that there is furniture made of cardboard! What a crazy idea…
Sure, some IKEA furniture these days is also made of cardboard, but they try to hide it. ROOM IN A BOX or KarTent, on the other hand, don’t try to hide it and use it to market themselves as sustainable.
Since we needed a guest bed, I ordered a cardboard folding bed from KarTent and am very interested to see how good it will be.
I will keep you updated…

I was just looking at SSD prices and wow, have they gone up! Last year in May I ordered a Crucial P5 Plus with 1 TB for 79,99 €. In the late summer of last year, the price was as low as 59,90 €. But now the lowest price I can find is 92,81 €, the second lowest is 134,28 €. 😱 Seems like I should wait a bit before buying a new drive to back up all the tape videos…
