After maintaining my Now Page for a few weeks, I
realized that I’m using it to write
weeknotes. But since I kept
overwriting the page, things got lost that I’d rather see preserved for
autobiographical purposes. That’s why I reduced my .plan, as I’m calling my
Now Page, to short lists, and am going back to posting weeknotes
again as well.
Since I started practicing Karate again in September of last year, I’ve been
constantly improving my flexibility. I have to. When I stopped training 20 years
ago, I already didn’t have great range of motion in my hips and legs. And the
following two decades of neglect, of just sitting in front of a screen, not only
caused unhealthy weight gain, they also let my muscles deteriorate. Especially
my hip and bum muscles have shortened to an extent that I can’t even do a side
kick at mid-height.
While updating my Now Page, it dawned on me that it would really help if I made my readers aware that this page exists in the first place! If you’d like a quick update what’s going on with me, this page is the place to go.
Obsidian has been my long-term memory for many years now, but only yesterday I realized how easy it was to also make it my blog editor and thus greatly simplify writing new posts.
One of the best things that happened lately was that I found a Karate club nearby. I have no idea why I didn’t earlier, because I wanted to get back into martial arts for years.
Today I’ve learned that the MAME emulator project did a cooperation with the
Internet Archive, Texas Instruments and HP to create software replicas of
historic pocket calculators. The result is the Calculator
Drawer.
Recently, I noticed an increasing frequency in which I get presented with Captcha requests. In part, this might have been caused by me switching browsers or reinstalling my laptop. But still, thanks to their annoyance factor, it felt like I was getting more of them than in the past.
