Anniversary week

My wife and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary this week. Well, the celebration itself was very low key, given the viral infections - specially RSV, that are going around. I caught it first, and then lovingly transferred it to my wife.

Sadly, I did not do much outside of whatever work things I could. Except for the markdown editor side project, that I made some updates to yesterday. I will hopefully share that next week.

Until then, here is a shorter list of reads (not just reads) for today.


Interesting links

  1. https://empirepoduk.com
    This is one of my favourite podcasts and I listened to a lot of it this week. Specifically their new series on Indian revolt/mutiny of 1857. The whole podcast is a treasure

  2. https://www.makingsoftware.com/
    There is this treasure trove that I found today, and while I haven’t naturally spent a lot of time with it, I think I am going to enjoy a lot while I do it over time


A project I discovered

a fast, modern browser for the npm registry

npmx - Package Browser for the npm Registry

a fast, modern browser for the npm registry. Search, browse, and explore packages with a modern interface.

I’ve been following the makers and their journey of building npmx for some time and it is truly one of the things I wish I could contribute towards. But I’ll hold myself, I already have a lot on my plate.


A photo I took

Another photo from same time last year since I didn’t take one worth sharing this week.

A sports field covered with snow with a horizontal tree-line in the background. There is a football net in the middle of the snow covered field, with some poles nearby. The front of the picture has some shadows of trees and a stadium lamp casting a contrasting shadow on to the white snow

Hope to see you next week with better health. Take care!
