I didn’t want to spend eternity on figuring out a clever name, so we start with “URLs”. Below you will find links I collected recently. As bonus to these links, you can find my commentary/description / recommendation. Enjoy “The URLs”!

How to upload/download files to Fly.io using scp command

I created a linklog. But the story isn’t that simple…

Found someone who articulated my thoughts on sharing and social media better than I could.

You probably shouldn’t be worried about an audience at all. Write. Paint. Draw. Create. Put it out into the world and let it go. Maybe it will change the world. Maybe it might change the mind of a single person. Perhaps after all your effort it won’t be noticed at all.

All of that isn’t as important as creating.

Since the beginning of the year, I feel like I’m discovering the Internet once again and I’m enjoying the journey. RSS, Mastodon, open APIs, discovering new people and their work… all of this is very rewarding.

The internet should be about exploring and novelty. When I was younger, I remember the thrill at finding a new author at the library or a book store. For a short time, the internet was like that as well. I am on Mastodon not because I want to “build my brand” or “expand my audience” but because there are so many people in the world that are smart, funny, and creative, and I want to see what they have done

Heh, the more I write here, the more I want to learn CSS 🙈.

Another month has passed and it’s time to summarize it.

1. We had a little holiday in Kraków with the family. Hard to call it a regeneration but still, it was nice to spend some time together. We had a nice whether, including -10°C during the day. Highlights: Wieliczka, Wawel, Muzeum Iluzji, Pałac Krzysztofory, Wesoła Cafe, AleKlocki.
2. During the Kraków visit, I had a chance to experience the BMW 3 series for the first time in the 370+HP version and explore the city with my guide D. - thanks a lot for the opportunity! It was great! The most important insight for me was that I don’t really need a full M version of the car, the one I tested is more than enough!
3. I spent a lot of time digging through BMW configurator, it seems that cars still make an impression on me.
4. February was not impressive in terms of bike trips, just 3 of them. I hope that my issues with the tires are gone and I won’t have to spend most of the ride pumping them up.
5. February marks my 4th month in a row when I closed all the activity rings on my Apple Watch!
6. At work things were good but INTENSIVE, the highlight was a workshop we had in a bigger group in Poznań! First of all we closed some important topic, but there was also a lot of fun and a lot of learning! I also started in a new role – exciting things ahead of us!
7. I had my first experience as a host with Disruption Talks format, it was fun!
8. FlexiSpot surprised me when I reached out to them and they agreed to send me a new desk top for free (I had a small issue with the previous one).
9. Something triggered me to improve my backup game. I decided to leverage the power of my Synology and backup all the photos from all the phones at home to Synology (even though I use the big iCloud package). Just in case. Apart from that, I did some changes to running Docker containers on NAS and I’m using it more and more for things other than just a file storage.
10. I’m glad that my home is running almost entirely on Apple devices, just a few things left for migration. Not that I don’t like other brands, but it’s easier to have everything in one ecosystem.
11. Health is good!
12. I felt urge to learn CSS from scratch, hopefully I will find some time for it.
13. I wrote 5 posts on my blog! That’s more than in 3 last years combined!

February, thank you! 💙

Taken during the family trip to Kraków in 2023. It was surprisingly cold that night, around -10°C. Streets were pretty empty that night.

I always wanted to share more about how do I work. I really like the idea of uses page and I’m happy to have one, too! The first experiment back in the day was my workspace page – a lot of people actually asked me about some details and recommendations. Thanks to these recommendations, my colleagues were able to save some time and (HOPEFULLY!) improve their work environment.

Why? Because when I explore peoples’ pages, I can learn a lot about them and how do they work. More importantly, I can learn about tools that I didn’t know about before. And that’s what I want to do with my page.

I’ve recently realized that my habits for interacting with World Wide Web changed over time. Here’s how I spend my time, consume the content and communicate in the internet.

With so many site visitors and reactions on Mastodon (LOL), I decided to try out webmentions.

Here are some of things that were with me in January. A few tools and a few observations I have made recently. I’m writing about Arc browser, Mastodon and social.lol.
