RE: You’re a Blogger, Not an Essayist
Blogging is a conversation. It’s a conversation with yourself and it’s a conversation with others. Barry Hess via https://bjhess.com/posts/you-re-a-blogger-not-an-essayist Some real talk right there. Blogging is all about conversations, thoughts, and FUN. This very website is not a magazine and it’s not a professional publication; It sometimes may include content which is related to the…

On shrimp 🦐
Yesterday I was reading a blog post titled “You don’t have to be a “content creator” to have a website.” by Ana Rodrigues and it felt right at home with what I believe: Having a website is incredible. You can post whatever you want, you can share whatever you want, there’s no algorithms on your…

I moved all my photo posts to this website
As part of my big “move ALL THE THINGS around” server consolidation I now moved a lot of photography content to this site, so feel free to read through Photography blog posts or check out the series page – or, if you fancy getting a PDF, download one of my zines! There’s still some things…

Setting up a MacBook from scratch for the first time in 8 years
Oh boy, did I not think about a lot of stuf… For the past 8 or so years I’ve always used my work MacBook for all things dev, including private development. I’ve spent a lot of time setting up and changing my zsh, and later fish, configs, configuring iTerm, trying out different themes, … you…

A new chapter
In January 2014, I joined Synoa in its founding days as a Web Developer, focused on Magento 1 and WordPress at the time. Now, 9 years later, I decided it’s time to move on. I’m super exited to say that as of April 2023 I’ve joined AOE as a DevOps Engineer! 🥳

Back to basics: WordPress!
If you’re a regular (LOL) on this website you may have noticed that literally everything is different and all old content is gone as well. Sorry about that! I’ve moved my website from a static webpage made with 11ty to a WordPress powered site again because I’ve noticed over the past years that Markdown-based solutions…
