MicroBlog!!

Bootleg Twitter

Most content I put here in this website takes alot of time and effort for me to do.

A lot of tinkering at the Django Admin and preparing content delivery.

Believe me, I'm thankful that I have databases and a web framework, and I don't have to build / rebuild html files to add content, but still it gets tiring.

Now I have a trashy way to put my thoughts here!! This MicroBlog I can just throw some sentences around and update you guys on whatever

It's also designed to only show a minimum amount of past MicroBlogs, too. This way, I don't have to think amount maintaining content quality LOL.

I have reduced my screen time by a significant amount, and I feel like I am more in tune in what I want and what I do.

Through self-reliance I have evaded the notions of society and basically does what I want. I have removed myself from the concept of shame and herd thinking.

I have rejected the hustle culture and the desire to always be productive. That is simply not what the mind wants.

the work computer is all roided up with all the cool features I would like to explore.

First, it is now running a testing environment for docker. I have detached database containers for testing, but I also have complete lamp stack containers running some of my systems and the web template for testing.

Also, I have android studio installed to learn mobile development.

And the best part, I have a vpn tunneling through this very VPS the blog is running on, built with OpenVpn. So I now have a personal website + personal vps + personal vpn on my array of cloud tools. EZ.

Another weekday. My right ear was actually in agony on my last weekdays last week, but I did a trip to the clinic and they fixed me up. I must have caught a sickness here in the office but only caused me a mild cold. I still have it though, but I think it will clear in the next 2 days or so.

Another week done being a PHP dev, I just made a intranet chat system in two days. This is fun. Though I'll slow down a bit because the headaches are really stepping up.

Also, it does feel nice having real people around you at work. Work from home gives you a lot of cash, but not much else.

I finally got the idea of writing my django admin password on my notebook so I login from work, expect some blogs to come from here HAHAHA.

If you're from work, authorative or otherwise, don't share my updates :(

I graduated by the way, I don't know if I should write a blog about it. It is quite an achievement.

Ending the experiment of trying to find my maintenance calories, the number of calories you can consume without losing weight.

Result of the experiment: Failed.
It looks like maintenance calories are lower than expected.

I have no way of knowing what constituted that weight gain. Whether it be lean muscle, water, or fat; I will never know.

Back to dieting, actually taking it more seriously now. I will now try to skip my protein shake; I have been in a large excess of protein for a while trying to promote muscle retention / gain.

Losing the stress of putting content into my personal website because of this MicroBlog.

Just as much I want to do another Blog about a topic... The relief I now have since I got this MicroBlog up is immense.

Together with the new section Photos, It feels like this personal website of mine is more alive than ever and not just sitting untouched.

I am now checking on it everyday, posting a MicroBlog maybe 4 times a day. I love it.

And hey, if someone this reading this MicroBlog and thus my website, welcome :)
