Tech, life and everything else
I currently use Purelymail for email. It’s very cheap and does everything I need (“purely email”). I’m also happy that I’m free of all the headaches of having a good IP reputation and setting everything up so that my mail doesn’t end up in junk folders.
I’m always programming on my blogging software, so today I decided to do something different. With the help of ChatGPT, which wrote the basic HTML and CSS template, I created a new resume website, which is basically a copy of everything I put on my LinkedIn profile.
I am not looking for a new job, but I was thinking about making better use of my jlelse.com domain, which I have already renewed for many more years. And that seems like a good idea.
And it was actually quite fun to write some basic HTML and CSS and host the site files on Bunny.net. There I use Bunny Storage, Bunny DNS and of course Bunny CDN. 🐰
As for my job: I finally passed the probationary period. 😄
I’m a bit of an indecisive (and frugal) person sometimes.
I’m a fan of the German TV series “Notruf Hafenkante”, which is shown on the public broadcaster ZDF and is also available on their website. New episodes are released weekly, and older episodes are also made available on a regular basis. After a few months, however, they are no longer available for free. At the moment I have to buy an extra subscription for a Prime Video Channel to be able to watch all the old episodes. But that makes me dependent on Amazon, and I don’t like that.

AI is currently finding its way more and more into various software. There is ChatGPT, which sometimes feels like an all-knowing human, DeepL uses artificial intelligence not only for its translator, but also for its new tool that improves written text, or Bunny.net provides an API to generate images “on the edge”.
Before you realize it, January - and with it the first month of the new year - is already over. A little review.
GoBlog plugins enable completely new and optional functionality. Andrés created a plugin to show the song currently playing on his blog. I use this plugin for now as well. 🎶 If you don’t see a song in the header, I’m probably not listening to music right now. 😅
For performance reasons, the plugin will fetch the currently playing song from Last.fm every five minutes and display it if the song was played no more than 10 minutes ago.
Since I have YouTube Premium and log in to YouTube, YouTube is suggesting videos that seem to fit my interests a lot more (and it’s a little addictive again, but not as bad as when I was still studying).
