😷 After a whole day of feeling like the coughing was mostly behind me, I woke up from a very decent sleep, coughing like a madman! It’s now 2:30AM, and still unable to sleep again. Not coughing, but it was violent enough to chase the sleep away.


Awesome update. Super value.

🥰 Tomorrow I have a very slow day. One thing to shoot, at 9PM. That means I’ll be able to drop tinyMovieStar at kindergarten, and even pick her up. We’re both very excited about that already!


😝 What’s for Dinner?

movieStar: “what would you like to have for dinner, little one?”

tinyMovieStar: “maybe we should ask dad. He’s our butler, he’s cooking it anyway.”

🐔 Back on the road early tomorrow morning, we’re doing Sunday markets now. A classic.

She won’t stop coughing, though, medicine is taking some time to work. It’s been a couple of days.

🗓 Today we’re visiting a supermarket’s distribution center, a health center, will have dinner with local politicians, and attend another carnival parade.

Nothing scheduled for the morning, except play time with tinyMovieStar, she has no school for three days.


💎 That’s how we do door stops over here. Marble!

🏈 Scrolling back the timelines, trying to catch up. Looks like there was some sort of sports event while we slept. Taylor Swift, somehow, was also a part of that?


😔 New week starting today, looking forward to the places I’ll visit. Lots of photos coming up, I’m sure.

🎯 Today I’m shooting what is probably the only event of the month in Lisbon, as all others are across the river. Shorter commute today!


🐌 Sometimes, after a system update, my iPhone will have to resync the whole photo library. No idea why this happens only once, but it takes DAYS to get them back. There are 215,012 photos by now.Update was a couple of days ago, and we're up to 39,503.

🌬 Good morning! Off to cross that wonderful bridge again, let's hope the wind is blowing gentler today.


🌧 Looking at an even earlier start tomorrow, but should be done by lunch time. Rain is still forecasted. Again all day long.


💖 Probably my favorite of the day.

🌉 Rumors going around that both bridges might close, the wind is too strong. That would not be nice, I need to get back into the city.


🌧 I’ll tell you something: driving over the bridge today was no fun! It’s WINDY, dark, and raining heavily.

Had no idea, thought the same. Love that song, by the way…

"I recognised the voice but didn’t recall the song and thought at first that it was an obscure track from the Rolling Stones long discography. Nope. Jagger wrote it with the series composer, Daniel Pemberton, specifically for the show. I guess that’s what Apple money can buy you."

"There’s a new set of features available on Feedbin with the goal of helping you find and fix broken feeds.

A fairly common reason for a feed breaking is when a publisher moves their feed, but does not redirect the old one to the new location.

Feedbin continuously monitors feed health and is now able to use this data to see if a healthy alternative exists."

🇸🇪 Today is the day when I’ll venture into IKEA once again. One item to return, and three little things to bring home.

Something tells me it can turn into one of the week’s highlights, sad as it might sound.

🤞🏼 Here we go. We’re leaving over an hour before we had to, on the off chance tinyMovieStar decides to take a nap on the way. It would be awesome, but she’s too darn excited about the birthday party.

I’ll do my best, boring, driving.

Oh, and a kid’s birthday party later!

🕊 Started a new draft on Scribbles. An Imaginary Roadmap for a possible blog hosting move. It quickly turned into a list of Micro.blog selling points. There are a LOT of things the platform does right, and a huge hassle if you’re looking for the same kind of functionality elsewhere.


⏰ tinyMovieStar sent a message (via her teacher), asking us to pick her up a little earlier today. Sweet baby. We will, of course.

😳 How did Hansel and Gretel survived as a fairy tale, from 1812 until today??

Poor parents abandoned a couple of brothers. A witch found them, fattened one of them to eat him, while keeping her sister as a slave, on cooking and cleaning duty.

Sounds like a fairy tale?

🏆 Added domain to Mailgun; added a ton of DNS records to domain; configured Env Vars on PikaPod; and it seems to be working! I have created a new “subscriber” on dinkiwinkiminkiwinki.com, and got the confirmation emails, both as user, and as admin. Fun.
 https://dinkiwinkiminkiwinki.com


🛠 DNS issues sorted, next up is Mailgun. This is one very poorly designed site for mobile, need to get to my laptop to deal with it.


🎖 Small victory for today: I did manage to FTP all the photos to the Ghost install on PikaPods. It seems to be working.

Still have to deal with Mailgun (do I though?), and move the domain to PikaPods, but dinkiwinkiminkiwinki might have found a new home.


🥺 Depressing Day


☕ One of these, and off to run some errands. No work today.

💸 Still figuring out the whole dinkiwinkiminkiwinki situation. I wouldn’t mind taking advantage of the free tier at Digital Press, but the blog is over 5GB, so that is not feasible. Their next tier is slightly cheaper than Ghost (Pro) but, the hassle of moving, and away from Ghost’s home…

Oh! I have no work today, I’ll be alright.


⏰ Woke up with alarm clock today. None of that up-before-time craziness, I was exhausted.


😰 Looking at the PikaPod specs that are powering the Ghost install, I can’t help but feel they’re a little underwhelming.

Is anyone running one of these?

👾 OVH has a starter VPS (good enough to play with), 77% discount on the first year. That’s $0.97/month. A year for $11.59.

Should I just sign up, and figure out what I’ll do with it later?


👑 Success!

What a long, happy, fun filled, day. Everyone had a good time, and the tiny one got to meet the last of the missing cousins: the Finn, and the one that moved to LA a decade ago.

🎥 Brief stop at Cinemateca Portuguesa, they’re paying tribute to a very old friend. Now going back home.

I’ve got my own movieStars at home.

🤫 Looking at my draft for the upcoming thingsThisWeek, and it’s a bit ranty. I think I’ll delete the part where I’m complaining. I’ve done enough of that this week already.


🚌 Girls have been dropped at their respective spots, I'm back home. Looking at Lightroom, again.


☕ Espresso in silence, before I wake up both movieStars.


😬 Getting to the end of week 1, and not even close to it feeling “regular”. Still very much in post-holiday mood.

📈 Bunny report (and something I’m trying to wrap my head around): 6.21GB in 24hrs.

I have 1 file, 3MB.  That’s 2070 times that file.
Tinylytics tells me that I’ve had around 100 visitors on the same period of time.

⏱ 4:05PM, finishing lunch. Next: run to kindergarten before tinyMovieStar thinks she’s been abandoned there.


"I was with my boyfriend. We couldn’t stop kissing. We were kissing all over the place, all the time. Robert Doisneau was in the bar, he asked us to pose for him."
