• This week, I finally updated my blog and changed the design. Many thanks to duetsch for the design-inspiration (it’s based on his ancient theme which he used back in 2010-ish when his old blog was still active).

  Other stuff I did this week:

  • I installed mavericks on my Macbook Air which was straightforward but time-intensive
  • I’m testing airmail for my uberspace-hosted mails but I’m not yet convinced, I think I’ll still switch to alpine
