Wistoria: Wand and Sword - E16

OMG, the episode where Will used his newly awakened powers was absolutely epic! Will, who has no magical aptitude, managed to protect everyone with a new fifth element. My emotions were all over the place in this episode. Perhaps, somehow, I understand how he always felt…

Valencia

Valencia, Spain, is all set for my holiday! It’s my first time visiting, and I’m so excited! It was a bit of a last-minute decision. I’ve already sorted out the plane tickets and Airbnb. I’ve been noting down some fun things I’m looking forward to be doing once I arrive.

Let me know if you have any specific tips or advice.  🤗

Magpie

To my surprise, the Eurasian Magpie has returned to my garden for yet another season. I believe it started like two years ago, or I never noticed it earlier than that. Only spotted one of them this time.

I will never forget that it guards my garden against crows.

Custom CSS

Custom CSS for my Pagecord blog has been keeping me busy. Liking the results so far for light and dark mode (no toggle, unfortunately on the website). One of the two “issues” is that the custom CSS can only be 8 kb big, and the online editor doesn't let you do some things, showing me an invalid or insecure warning. But at least minifying the code helps, which lets me style even more. If it could be larger than 8 kb, I could add (more) accessibility fixes according to the WCAG.

The things you can do with modern CSS these days are astonishing: less JavaScript, more CSS.

Personality

It seems there’s a new personality type out there, besides just introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts. It’s called otrovert, and I’m starting to think I might be one of them! I'm going to be learning more about it...

Macbook Neo

I bought myself a MacBook Neo and I am so glad that I did! It's also my first Mac ❤️ I'm considering a Mac Mini in the future; hopefully, it will have the M5 by then.

Trying out Pagecord

Hello World.

Trying out yet another new blogging platform. I keep switching, finding the right one for me, but it is quite difficult since each one has its pros and cons.

I have started with self-hosting numerous platforms, then moved to Bearblog, Pika, and am now trying out Pagecord. So far, the biggest pro I have seen is that Pagecord is much more affordable on an annual basis compared to Pika.

I'm going to give Pagecord a try and will likely pay for a yearly subscription to have access to all of its features.

Update 2025-08-11: Decided to switch to Pagecord.
