Notes 📝
Notes are short pieces of content I have written.
I shall be hosting the Homebrew Website Club London/Europe online meetup on May 4th (Star Wars Day!). If you are interested in chatting about personal websites, need some help with something you're doing on your site, or want to see what other people are doing with their websites, please don't hesitate to join us! You don't need to have a website to join us, just a keen interest in having your own website.

For the last two years, maybe more, I have used Typora for taking notes. Typora has served me so well. I was more than happy to pay for Typora when they started charging for the product. Typora is simple and has native markdown support.

I just rewatched Tom Scott's "If Educational Videos Were Filmed Like Music Videos" video. This is one of those videos that stays in the back of your mind and that you feel you have to watch every so often.

I am now posting my bookmarks over on Pinboard. While I do have the ability to post bookmarks to my own site, my Micropub endpoint is in need of some maintenance and I am not presently ready to take on that task. For now, feel free to peruse my bookmarks on Pinboard.

Today is my first day of wearing glasses. The world feels a tad different but everything feels so much clearer.

I have enrolled in the Leaderboard Coffee competition. Leaderboard Coffee sends ten coffee samples and you have to identify various characteristics about the coffees. I'm hoping this will be a good way to let me refine my cupping skills. I'm not playing to win right now. Rather, I aim to get better at distinguishing coffees and to explore new flavours that I may not have had in coffee in the past.

Over the last month, I have made many visual changes to my blog. I have a lot of ideas about the layouts I could use on my site. But, I can only choose one at any single time. I have decided to bring back the sidebar on my site that I previously used the retro version of my site. My main website now looks very similar to my retro site in layout. As part of this change, I am deprecating my retro site.

Before I visited the Botanical Gardens, I walked up Calton Hill and took a photo of the Edinburgh skyline. What a beautiful city.
