Blog > Setup

In an effort to make my blog perform better - lots of images means slow load times - I have updated all my images to use this somewhat undocumented micro.blog feature that resizes images:

Micro.blog offers an endpoint to resize uploaded images. Once you upload the image, if you do [micro.blog/photos/](https://micro.blog/photos/#)##x/, but replace ### with the pixel width you want, followed by the full URL to the image, you’ll show an image with that width. For example, if I wanted the image at [json.blog/foo.jpg](https://json.blog/foo.jpg) to be 480px wide, I could use <img src=“https://micro.blog/photos/480x/[json.blog/foo.jpg](https://json.blog/foo.jpg)”>.

This first page load still takes a long while, since my home page weighs in at about 25 mb of mostly image data. But it's a start.

Nicht jedes Scheitern ist tatsächliches Scheitern

Wichtiges Konzept: Zu unterscheiden, ob das Ausbleiben einer Handlung, die man sich vorgenommen hatte, um damit ein Ziel voranzutreiben am Ende Scheitern ist, oder nicht. Letzteres kann der Fall sein, wenn sich herausstellt, dass die Handlung nicht (oder nicht mehr) zum Ziel beiträgt.

Wenn das eigene Task-Management-System zu schwergewichtig ist und z. B. aus zu vielen wiederkehrenden Aufgaben und Wartungstätigkeiten besteht, so dass die Aufrechterhaltung des Systems selbst den Hauptteil des Arbeitsaufwandes ausmacht, dann ist die Nichtdurchführung der Wartungstätigkeiten kein Scheitern, sondern notwendig, um dem Ziel näher zu kommen, obwohl man das System einst zum Erreichen des selben Ziels aufgebaut hatte.

Anybody here with experience using the stoic. app for guided journaling? I’ve used it for four days now and like it so far. Anybody else?

Not a lot of sleep tonight, because the dogo needed to go out at 6 (I was in bed around 1, which is very late for me). I feel nauseous and threw up a little, because of an unclean thermo mug, I think (dishwasher didn’t run correctly). The cascading effects of a bad (yester)day…

(I’ll try to post a little more this week to see if I like it)

Difficult to get myself going this afternoon. Just sat around and kind of unintentionally „relaxed“ by watching YouTube and playing video games. Would have been nice to actually decide to do that but instead the day felt lost. Didn’t do anything I wanted and what I did I did without being really there.
