Being an inspiration
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
Somehow that’s a nice feeling to hear that you yourself inspire others to do something.

Welcome to the Thoughts section of my blog. Thoughts are better kept on my blog than on Twitter or other online platforms.
First impression: AfterShokz OpenComm

It’s been about 24 hours since my new AfterShokz OpenComm arrived. And I have to say, this is really the best headset I ever had!
Modularizing GoBlog?
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
Updated on
I just separated the function I told you about the other day (the one for marking text with “==”) as a Go module. This way the main code remains more organized and if I don’t need the feature any more, the module is still usable. Also for other people who might need the same functionality. I think I should modularize GoBlog even more. 🤔

My new Chromecast with Google TV
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
I ordered the Chromecast with Google TV last weekend and got it delivered yesterday (early birthday present for myself 😅 – I have birthday tomorrow). I really like it! Even though I’m usually critical about Google and its services – at least I disabled all possible privacy settings.

Two months of private diary blogging
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
More than two months ago, I decided I should try using my blogging software for journaling. Every day, I create a new private post with a few bullet points about the day: what I did during the day, how I felt, what I thought about. On some days there are more points, on some days just a few short ones.
My own Static Site Generator
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
Because I don’t have enough side projects yet, I started programming my own static site generator, with the creative name GoBlog. I doubt it will replace my use of Hugo in the near future, but it is exciting to write a Go program that is designed for high speed. I get to know features that I have never used before. I also learn what to pay attention to when thousands of files have to be parsed and processed concurrently. Maybe I will never be able to use this project for anything useful, but side projects are mainly there to have fun or learn something useful.
Self-hosted server(less) functions
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
One thing which I have never looked more closely at, but which I think is very interesting, are “Serverless Functions”, although they are not so serverless because they run on a server. Whatever. On Hacker News, I found a GitHub repository and an article about it.
Time and focus
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
It’s crazy how quickly time can pass when you get very engrossed in something. When it grabs you and you forget almost everything around you. When you’re in the flow.
Habits
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
I use one of my domains mainly for services that I use personally. My Miniflux instance for example. For a long time I ran Miniflux on a device from home, before I moved it to my virtual private server in the “cloud” a few weeks ago. To also adapt the subdomain I use for it to the scheme of the other subdomains, Miniflux now runs on a different subdomain than before. However, I have set up a redirection so that even if I enter the old subdomain, I will be redirected to the new one.
