This week passed by very fast. I enjoyed having time to do some tech stuff on Thursday evening, and it’s great to have the Formula 1 season kick-off again this week.
Updated on other things happening are below. Have fun reading them.
- Monday evening ended differently than I had expected as my son called me from his field hockey practice to say that he had an accident and was injured. He was hit with a field hockey ball on the chin and needed some medical attention. We ended up going to the local hospital and having to wait there till 23:00 to get two stitches in his chin.
- I worked with Kevin Woblick to get a hosted version of LinkAce up and running at bookmark.schoonens.nl. I have played around with LinkAce within a self-hosted Docker environment but decided to support Kevin’s indie development journey by signing up for his new hosted service. LinkAce supports RSS, and my public link feed is available here. I’m still considering using this RSS feed to stich things together with Zapier or Echofeed.app.
- After not using the service for a long time, I logged into Mixcloud again to enjoy these North Sea Jazz Funk & Jazz mixes. If you are into Funk and Soul music, you might like them too.
- The 2025 Formula 1 championship started this weekend. I created my F1 Fantasy team to compete in our office’s league, where colleagues from all around the globe joined. I also created a team in a different Dutch F1 Fantasy Game to join the Dutch podcast league ’de Boordradio’.
- I did tech maintenance on Thursday night by updating several self-hosted docker images. I’m now running the latest Mastodon server and Home Assistant instance again and while I was at it I also upgraded my Portainer version. I still appreciate how easy it is to update docker containers. Infrastructure technology has come a long way in the past decade.
- On Friday night, our best friends joined us for dinner. It was lovely catching up with them.
- I picked up a new running schedule this week. My new goal is to train for a faster half-marathon time in the next twelve weeks. The schedule contains a maximum of 5 weekly runs: two recovery runs, two interval runs, and one long run on the weekend. I completed all five scheduled runs this week.
