• We went to the [[Velobörse]] with [[KM]] and we got a nice bike for a good price! It was great.
  • It was quite cold and rainy and we felt so-so physically at several times in the day but it’s been a beautiful weekend so far!
  • We reunited with [[Lady Burup]] around 2PM.
• I did some work for G, sending out a document for review, and it felt great.

• I am finding the performance of [[Thunderbird]] to be terrible.
  • Connecting it to Zoho Mail via IMAP.
  • I’m just going through my inbox and deleting emails and it regularly takes a CPU to 100%.
  • Might try Betterbird… but will just stick with the webmail for this for now. Something clearly not right when a webapp is performing better than a desktop app.

• Great Saturday!
• We had a great morning and went to the gym with [[KM]] and then I took a nap with [[Lady Burup]] and met [[VK]], then…
• I met [[Claudia]] and [[Andreas]] at [[KM]]‘s home for dinner and then we went to their flat and to [[ZW]], it was great.
• I also found a note of interest in [[ZW]], and when I turned it around I found:

• In the absence of time to do much in the way of [[knowledge commoning]] at present, I figure the least I can do is more consistently share my bookmarks.

  • A small contribution, but still better than them sitting privately locally.

• Managed to submit a post for the February carnival: [[Emacs Carnival: Completion]]
  • Quite a rush, but I learned a lot in the process.

• Of any assertion, it can be asked: is it

• I had to get a new phone, as my Pixel 5a spontaneously bricked itself.

  • I got a [[Fairphone 6]].
  • I usually get second hand or refurbished phones, but here’s [[My rationale for getting a Fairphone 6]].

• Going through the process of getting things set up on a new phone.

  • My notes in my digital garden are massively helpful for this. Well done past self!
  • They’re a bit scattered though - I’ll try and update them into one page about it..
    • [[Setting up a new phone]].

• Trying out Vulpea.
