We had a family trip to the library today. They have a two months reading campaign for school kids with prizes at the end. The older one really wants to win his own Nintendo Switch. 😂 📚
While nature gets some much needed rain, my body definitely preferred the hot dry spell we had. With this wet cold all my joints, muscles and ligaments are aching. Not a fan.
I just reset my ActivityPub username to use my custom domain. It is now @alex@alexanderkucera.com Slowly getting there. Step by step. 👨💻
I wonder where the boardgame tagmoji is @manton. 🎲
By the way, a friend and I have started a monthly 30 minute talk podcast. It’s on Anchor.fm right now, but I am thinking of hosting it on Micro.blog. 🎙️
It is called Sprachmixing.
Getting an iron infusion today. Ah, the joys of failed kidneys. 🩸💉
Looks like I have ironed out most of the kinks. Theme works. Custom homepage works. Custom domain works.
Currently reading: Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold by Stephen Fry 📚
It has an interesting way to tell the stories. So far I like it.
After years of online hiatus I have decided to make Micro.Blog my main site. Of course, it is not as simple as it sounds. For example, none of my already existsing posts show on the homepage (https://alexkucera.micro.blog). Also I have issues with pointing my domain (alexanderkucera.com) to my Micro.blog page. But I am slowly chipping away at my issues. I am sure I will prevail. Eventually…
Yesterday I came across one of the most German things I have seen in a long time. Apparently there is such a thing as an “Arbeitsschutzgetränk”, which means “worker protection drink”. In essence it is an isotonic drink for workers in high heat work places. But I find it hilarious that we Germans felt the need to come up with a convoluted word for it.
