Week notes (17 - 23 Mar)
Personal
I went to Den Haag (Hague) on Thursday to pick up a new external passport from the Russian consulate I applied for in October. Spent the morning working from the Central Library. It’s a really nice place if you need a quiet and spacious place to work or study.
On Saturday, we all together spent the first half of the day in Haarlem, strolling around the city centre. Haarlem is such a nice and cosy city, we like it much more than the crowded Amsterdam.
We also visited, unplanned, De Koepel - a former dome-shaped prison renovated into a public space in 2020.
Blog
I’ve removed the “Now” page from this site. Now that I have “Week notes” I don’t see a reason to keep a “Now” page as the content of those overlap greatly. Besides, I haven’t updated my “Now” page for a while.
Tech
Jack Baty posted about Espanso the other day. I’ve never heard of it before, so decided to try it. It has impressive extension and scripting capabilities, let’s see if I find use for them. So far, I’ve experimented with expansion of emoji and images.
I’m experimenting with vterm (terminal emulator for Emacs) as an alternative to the native macOS Terminal.app.
