Long time no seen! I am updating my pages and blog with a new colour scheme.
Melyanna's sporadic updates.
I am having a very chill Sunday morning, and I am happy about it!
Currently trying to resurrect my old Raspberry Pi 2b with Debian!
I updated my nex page! I wonder if I could self-host...
The World is in a terrible state right now. But I am home, my parents are well, my best friend is out of surgery and is doing OK. I am fine.
I have fully restored my script that posts from CLI to Mastodon, twtxt, and my ichi.city web page.
I am back to my bash scripting! This is in fact a test.
I would absolutely recommend Mint to anyone, not just my geeky friends.
I am happy to be back home, but it is very hot here in Italy compared to Poland.
I went for a nice walk to the park this morning and I am quite happy about it. Maybe next week I will go running again!
I just emerged from a really long, really tiring cruch. I am alive!
New day and new workout done! Today was full body HIIT, lower body and some abs, for a total of 40 minutes. I am very happy that I did it!
In status.cafe I love to look at each user page and website. There are many interesting and pretty hand-crafted pages that improve my mood.
Another really busy day at work! I woke up a bit late as I am feeling very tired, but I did my workout and 10K steps so it is a win!
New day and new workout! I did 50 minutes today without getting bored. First time in a long time that I achieve that and I am quite happy.
I have completed a big work task that I was lowkey procrastinating and now I feel so much better!
I did a pretty intense workout this morning and afterwards I felt so good! I wish I remembered this whenever I feel like skipping training.
Sunday is for rest and recovery and I am chilling on the couch playing Death Stranding 2.
I spent 15 minutes stretching and it felt really nice!
I had pizza last night, talked to my good friend earlier this morning, and there will be ghormeh sabzi for lunch, so I am in a good mood!
My workout for today is done! I never feel like starting but when I do it it always feels great.
Time to work on updating my tilde again after such a long time.
I went for a run this morning after months of not running and it feels so good!
Another year, another trip around the Sun for me. These old bones definitely feel the journey, but I am happy!
Burnout for me right now means I am stuck between wanting to make something, and drawing a blank as my creativity well is completely dry.
It is good to be off work and have time to spend on my personal projects.
I would like to work on my Mastodon and TWTXT script to improve it.
I learnt how to display a txt file in a html page in a pretty way: https://melyanna.ichi.city/twtxt.html
I just revisited my first script which posts to Mastodon and twtxt from CLI
I have a contact form now at https://melyanna.ichi.city/contact.html
I wish I could turn into a bear so I could go to my cave and sleep for three months
Excited for my trip to Finland and I just finished packing!
Oh wow I had forgotten about LHA! https://web.archive.org/web/20040608103917/http://otakuworld.com/kiss/
I wonder if KISS sets are still a thing. I loved making them a very long time ago.
Time to go to sleep, hoping I do get any given how how it is here right now...
My no-buy month begins this week! Of course essentials are allowed but no extras!
I enjoy going through status.cafe users and looking at their web pages, so many awesome websites!
I do have that damn song stuck in my head now... It is a good song but still...
Finally started Stranger Things and watched episodes 1 to 5 so far, I quite like it.
I will probably crash in the afternoon but right now I am going to use my energy to take a walk outside
I slept poorly yet the cooler weather is making me feel a lot better than I felt yesterday
I have become so jaded that when I meet people who are genuinely good I am taken aback and surprised as I do not expect it to happen anymore.
Spent the afternoon updating my tilde and now it is time to unwind with some meditation and a book!
My gemini capsule has a gemlog now and I update it usign a script I made...
I slept a lot and relaxed all morning yet I still feel sleepy...
It is so hot today, hard to be productive and do anything really...
Looking at my Feels blog it is clear that I am terrible at coming up with good post titles...
All this time spent being grumpy about how adding my Now updates directly into the html page is uncomfortable, and it just occurred to me I can chug it into a text file and use cat.
Finished Love Death Robots in one go and it was fantastic!
It is surprising how not having a routine affects me, I stopped exercising last week because I have stitches and everything else fell apart
I started adding a list of books that changed my life to my tilde at http://tilde.club/~melyanna/library/
It is Is it an allergy, iron deficiency, or do I have covid? season
Look at my fancy new gemini capsule at gemini://tilde.club/~melyanna/
I did the Wings for Life World Run today and I feel very good for the first time in a long time!
But I want to get back to reasonable hours so I can work on personal stuff and study
There is no funnier activity than untangling xmas lights to put them away...
I am glad I journaled consistently last year as it allowed me to put a lot of introspection into my next goals and in this note to myself https://garden.melyanna.net/notes/you-are-the-project.html
Sorry but I do not have it in me to start 2021 with any optimism
Got my kakebo for 2021, in 2020 it really helped me with saving money.
Just a note that I have a little gemini capsule at gemini://tanelorn.city/~melyanna/
Done with the workout of today, 2 more to go and I have finished the 21 days program
I am on day 13 of a 21 days fitness program and I am loving it so far
Spent some time at work talking about accessibility in games and loved the positive attitude and desire to keep improving
I suppose I was very inspired that day because it is pretty smart
I re-read my script that updates my gemini log automatically
Today felt productive as I did some art and planted a couple of seeds in my digital garden
I have been away for a few days because work got intense
Is it bad that I am using Urban Dictionary even when I need a regular dictionary?
I installed DietPi on my Rpi4 today and I think it is the distro that works best on it.
And KDE connect is the best tool for connecting a phone with a PC that I have ever tried
Maybe I would not go with Arch but Ubuntu, Elementary, Pop!_OS, or Manjaro are perfectly fine for the average user
I see no reason why a modern GNU Linux installation would be less appealing than windows to an average user
It is amazing how much more modern and sleek Arch with KDE Plasma looks compared to Windows
I feel like I am not using my time very well but I also feel too tired to be productive or even just present
I am not sure it is actually cheering me up but at least it looks cute
I added scripts to my bash so it cheers me up with friendly greetings and messages
Now I really need to improve the content and make sure that through it I can be reached everywhere...
Even if I gave priority to Lynx and mobile I am happy with how it looks on desktop browsers too
Today I redesigned melyanna.net to make it look nice and readable with Lynx
I do not have much up there yet but I am working on it
You can now find me on Gemini at gemini://tanelorn.city/~melyanna
Ready to explore the gemini protocol as it looks awesome so far
Figuring out the IndieWeb and making my main website compatible
I have a really long todo list but I am so tired I will just go to sleep and think about it tomorrow
I made some really good vegan gyros with tzatziki yesterday
