Ill with some flu, I had to do the dishes and clean the kitchen for my sanity. Was jamming out to 10,000 Maniacs while at it.

Got my first #espresso machine! Quite excited, waiting till @malinthe.bsky.social comes over for moral support to pull a shot. Pulled the trigger on this as it was the cheapest and came with a non preessurized basket.

I do understand thatI have minimal traffic to my custom Sri Lanka feed. But quite happy with my quick and cheerful #golang app running on #podman is doing good. Listening to the @bsky.app fire horse and keeping trending #lka tweets on #sqlite bsky.app/profile/ukr....

The food processor blade was stuck for good, was bummed out. I saw our pair of stainless steel tongs and used it as a grip and lever, alas it came loose. Ran to my wife with the contraption and said "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."

Our kitchen is still not done yet, I made some microwave scrambled eggs today. Not bad, added some veggies, milk, bit of cheese and added some left over takeout soy sauce. Had it with some salad we made yesterday. I'm full!

I've been new to the world of #Golang, I've been using it at work for around two years and playing around at home as well. Love it! We're bootstrapping a new project and spending a lot of time to make sure we start off properly. Lotta inspiration from this. grafana.com/blog/2024/02...

Got the fiber internet hooked up. The new dual band router is a bit dodgy. I can forgive the meh signal strength, but the dropouts are annoying. #srilanka

At a time crunch to finish up the house because of "auspicious time" for moving in. I'd like to call it "time-boxing". I don't know which one of those is worse.
