A Message For Myself⁠§It feels liberating to step up for myself and make a decision that is focused on my well being and mental health. Even though it was a difficult decision to step away from the familiar, the self-inflicted pressures was not worth it. I would like to think I grew a bit wiser and future me will be...

I remember attending one of these last year… it was probably my first ever IndieWeb event?! I worked on building what is now my main Internet home, BurgeonLab. I enjoyed the show-and-tell aspect (much like the two IndieWebCamps I’ve attended remotely). It’s in the middle of the night though for me, but I’ll try...

Unplanned Ten Week HiatusI’m back! Well, technically I haven’t left my internet home; it’s just my weeknotes that went into intermission. It was likely triggered as a respite from Blaugust1 and also time spent on migrating my secondary site from WordPress to Quartz2. It feels like there has been a fair amount that...

Indiekit Beta 30Yesterday I was extremely excited to see the latest big update (Beta 30 & 31) to Indiekit, the Micropub server + client I use in conjunction with Hugo for this site. Lots of QoL updates and bugfixes. I want to thank Paul, Ricardo, and Anthony for making Indiekit better. Having upgraded a few times, I...

With daylight savings, HWC Eastern is a bit early for me at 6am HKT instead of 7; which is why it’s been a while since I attended one. But I’m really glad to co-host with Thomas this morning! I got to do a little demo of my latest new feature on my site too (it’s the comments / responses which deserves its own post...

Feather Wiki UpdatesToday I updated my Feather Wiki personal brain dump tool (which I have written about here) to the latest version (Goldfinch v1.9.1). During this process I checked if there was anything new in the extensions, and noticed a nice upgrade to the editor called SunEditor. It claims to be “A...

It is considered one of the top Chinese holidays—typically in Hong Kong—families gather, eat and gift each other mooncake...

HWC: Asia Pacific — Minor UpdatesThe cadence of these virtual meetups have been chugging along quite well IMO. I’ve had the joy of hosting larger groups but also more intimate ones; oftentimes with new faces mixed in with “regulars”. There’s still a lot of room for improvement, on my part as a moderator, for...
