My Day in Three for today:

1. My wife and I skied together this morning while my daughter was skiing with a friend from school who happens to be in the same skiing area as us. I have great respect for my son, who is showing some serious resilience this week.
2. Former colleague and tech tinkerer friend Thijs connected with me today. We will try to meet in person next week when I’m back in the Netherlands.
3. We dressed up as a family for our Christmas dinner in our hotel. My daughter did my wife’s hair, which was amusing to watch.

My Day in Three for today:

1. I installed a self-hosted version of Actual Budget as I want to investigate if this could become my replacement app for managing my finances.
2. I watched The Penguin Lessons with my son this afternoon while my wife and daughter were skiing. This movie is about an English teacher who regains his compassion for others thanks to an unlikely friendship with a penguin.
3. My wife and I made plans for the remainder of our holiday here in Austria. It’s not easy for my son to see the rest of the family skiing while he can’t.

I’ve been playing around with Actual Budget this morning as a self-hosted alternative to YNAB. This might be the Christmas IT project I continue to tinker with during this holiday break.

Actual Budget is a super fast and privacy-focused app for managing your finances. At its heart is the well proven and much loved Envelope Budgeting methodology. You own your data and can do whatever you want with it. Featuring multi-device sync, optional end-to-end encryption and so much more.

My Day in Three for today:

1. We had a good time skiing today. We returned to our hotel early in the afternoon as the slopes are icy due to a lack of snow.
2. I relaxed in the afternoon and continued reading my book. It’s no holiday if I can’t spend at least one hour reading a day.
3. I joined my wife on an after-dinner walk on the mountain while the kids stayed in the hotel. It’s great to have some quality time together.
