Pad Thai. Very nice.

Quick story in two pictures about my iPad usage. I wish I would be able to use it more but there’s not enough space for me to put all of my apps on it. Also I’m not sure if I’m iPad person and most of the time I’m using it as life counter for MTG. And when not used as life counter it stays in the kitchen so I can read food recipes easily. I think I’d enjoy using iPad mini and one day I’m gonna definitely try!

This is exactly what I feel. My RSS reader is FULL of blogs that are active DAILY. This is great, honestly I have vibes from early 2000 and I’m here for that.

I was searching for an app to calculate my stock gains/losses and came across Sharesight, which seems to be exactly what I need. I imported all my data from XTB and calculated my gains, factoring in currency fluctuations. If anyone knows of a better tool, please let me know!

Just updated my defaults. Whenever I make changes to my setup that stick, I also update the post.

OMG, I think I’ve finally found in what way Instagram is making me miserable! Looking at all of these beautiful interiors in cities I’ll never live is THAT THING! Good reason to cut it out my life I guess.

In 2023 I’ve posted on my blog 684 times. That’s pretty fire number I’d say.

Microsoft Edge is better Chrome than Chrome is.

My tabs situation, most of the time. Hi there, 2024! Looking good.

It was a really pleasant new year’s eve party! Ready to fall asleep since it’s 4am.

If you need a co-host hit me up. Just joking! Please leave me alone 😂

Today, I bid farewell to the YesWas Podcast. It’s been an incredible 10 (!) years of co-hosting this show with Wojtek Wieman. While the podcast will carry on, I’ve made the decision to step away. It’s been quite the journey, and I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for all the support throughout the years. Now, I’m looking forward to taking a well-deserved break from podcasting. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this amazing ride.

Homescreen. Again. Mental note.

And then, when I finally found one that looks good, it’s priced at 3800 euros. Come on, I might have expensive taste but it doesn’t mean a machine that doesn’t resemble a Christmas tree should be considered expensive! I’ll go with the MacBook Air with M1. I love this cute little thing, even though the only game I can play is a browser game (and not for too long, as it tends to overheat).

Also why is every laptop that isn’t made by Microsoft or Apple really badly designed? Touchpad not in the middle? Keyboard lightning up with every possible colour? This weird thing under the display? WTF people.

Sometimes I wish I wasn’t so deep in Apple ecosystem, because with Windows+Android combo I’d hack my way out of most of my current issues, I think. Not sure if I’d like to try though (and success of that action would mean SO MANY CHANGES).
