The last couple of weeks have been hectic on the #parenting front. One day #OhBoy retuned back unwell from school. We initially thought it was just a simple stomach bug, as he had a temperature along with it. Soon the temperature came down and all the tests came out negative as well. He slowly recovered a... jrr.digital

After 10 years, upgrading my personal computer setup. My last laptop was a MacBook Pro on Intel chip. Now migrating to iMac on M3 chip.

Looking forward to a long acquaintance my new friend!

Ever since we got to know we will be heading to Cairo, I started learning Arabic on Duolingo. Today finished Unit 1!

With our stay in KL is getting to an end soon, we are starting to have goodbye meals with friends. A few weeks ago, we hosted our Chinese neighbour for a lunch at an Indian restaurant here. During that lunch, their son was reminiscing about the Vadai he had in our place, so we followed it up by a breakfast... jrr.digital

This morning The Missus had to participate at a Yoga event a part of her official duties. We joined in as well. We stayed after the event to watch few of the games in the Sports Day of the school. One of them was an racing event for children with special needs and those in the autistic spectrum. Each child... jrr.digital

📺 The Good Doctor, Prime Video ★★★★ We watched the series finale of Good Doctor a couple of days ago. We started watching this after we finished watching House. Both were created by David Shore. We in general are suckers for good episodic drama be it either in medical or legal. So it was no surprise tha... jrr.digital

Our stay in Malaysia will end soon After 3 years in Kuala Lumpur, it’s time to move again. By the end of this quarter we would be shifting to Cairo, Egypt. Before moving to KL, I was a bit apprehensive about this place. We were relatively new parents still and we were anxious of how #OhBoy will adapt to t... jrr.digital

🥾Hiking at Bukit Dinding 📍 After a while, I explored a new trail this morning — Bukit Dinding. I was also in a new part of KL city. The trail was mostly cemented path. It started with a good incline and then smoothened out. It is a moderate trail, that beginners can do. There is good tree cover all throu... jrr.digital

Like clockwork, a week after I got new shoes, the Merrell Vapor Glove that I have been using since 2020 gave in. This was the first shoe that gave me a taste of barefoot experience. I have done strength training in them, did late night walks during the pandemic, ran on asphalt and even did a couple of hike... jrr.digital

#OhBoy turned 5! When we told #OhBoy that it was June 1st, he was thrilled that it was his birthday month. Everyday since he started doing a count down for his big day. Finally last week #OhBoy turned 5! We had a small celebration at our home, followed by one at his school. We adults stopped celebrating o... jrr.digital

Meet my new kicks — a pair of Camper Peu Path sneakers. From the way I refer to it, you might think I knew about this brand for a long time. But I hardly knew about them when I bought it. So I was just in the market for some barefoot or minimalist shoes, to replace my current pair of walking/running sho... jrr.digital

#OhBoy got this done at his school for Father’s Day. Hope I like up to this expectation 😅

This device — Daylight DC-1 is very tempting. It has the charm of a Kindle with its fast refreshing e-ink technology. I am tempted mostly because it will be less strain on the eyes, and good for catching up on reading without much distractions. But then this is a first generation device. I will most proba... jrr.digital

@sim0ne Looks stunning!

🥾Hiking at Sri Bintang 📍 A month ago when we were trying out Bak Kut The at Sri Bintang, I got to know about the trail nearby. Last week I got a chance to hike it as part of my Thursday hikes. I liked it so much that I went again with my wife on the weekend. Trailhead of Sri Bintang Hil... jrr.digital

📽 Premalu, Disney Hotstar ★★★★★ Yesterday, we finished watching Premalu. I absolutely loved it. It is such a refreshing and light hearted movie, without being frivolous or over the top. It was very grounded and finds comedy even on the mundane things of life. We laughed all the way through — what a fun w... jrr.digital

#OhBoy made this at school for Mother’s Day!

#OhBoy is learning to enjoy road trips, particularly those breaks 😊

Owing to a system malfuntion, the Air Asia staff at Lombok, Indonesia had to hand write every boarding pass for the flight to Kuala Lumpur 

Summited Mt. Rinjani yesterday (22 Apr 2024) at around 6.15am. I hope to write more about the trek when I am at my desk and have recovered from assault.

The Mt. Ranjani trek starts this weekend. Though I’m as prepared as I can be, still feeling the butterflies!

Now onboard the train to KLIA2

Bags are packed!

#OhBoy and the case of 🖕 Last week, it was just another day of vacation that was all fun, until we sat down for lunch. #OhBoy was arguing with my mom, I forget about what. But something she said irritated him a lot and he showed her the middle finger. 😮 This was not his first time. He did the same a few d... jrr.digital

@help @manton I see that there was a fix for emojis in external RSS feed titles.

In my case, the posts are not getting copied from the RSS feed. Since last night, the error reads as.

🥾Last practice hike before Mt. Rinjani 🌋 On Sunday, we did our last practice hike before the next week's trek at Mt. Rinjani. We decided to start 6am at Bukit Gasing, since we wanted to practice the use of head lamps and hiking in the dark. Us on the trek with headlamps on! The hiking in the dark went... jrr.digital

@help I also noticed that my setup to cross-posting to mastodon.online is also not working. I created a post last night and it has not yet showed up in the mastodon timeline.

@help @manton I have been trying out Scribbles to create posts and then import them into Micro.blog using the RSS feed option. This worked fine for a couple of days. Now I am getting the below error. Could you please check on this.

@stupendousman Lovely capture!

@heyloura Looks very clean. Looking forward to it.

Just from the screenshot, my quick thought is that the bottom nav bar feels a bit crowded. It would be great if you can have just 5 or 6 options.

@heyloura So sorry to hear about what your daughter, you and your family are going through! I hope along with you that, all this will end soon and you all get back to your regular schedule soon! 🤞🏼

@amerpie Absolutely! We loved it too. Yeah, hoping for a 2nd season 🤞🏼

@ner3y I love Omnivore! I hope one day it becomes easier to host one's own instance.

@manton Any suggestions for this?

@heyloura All the best to both of you!

@help I have made some customisations to the theme I am using, and some of these customisations are lost whenever I update a plugin or reasons unknown!

What would be the best way to back up the changes to the theme?

Thanks @maique and @skoobz

@cygnoir Sorry, just saw this message yesterday. I have email you from my email address. I will join the next meetup.

@ner3y 👏👏👏

@numericcitizen Sorry to have bothered you. Found the details here - news.micro.blog/2024/01/2...

@numericcitizen Hello! I tried search in the help site for this "one page website" feature. I am unable to find details about it. Could you please link me to it.

@heyloura Wonderful! 😍

@heyloura Could you please share the code snippet, that does this. Thanks.

@cygnoir Thank you!

@pratik Thanks for the pointer. I will check it out.

@Annie This is so beautifully thought and written! Loved reading it.

@cygnoir I am interested too!
