I had envisioned writing weekly recaps to be a lot simpler in my head, but when I sat down to write this, it’s a lot harder. People who have been doing this for years have my utmost respect!

Here’s an excerpt from The Seen and Unseen Episode 387 that really clicked with me:

I’ve been dealing with a serious backlog of podcast episodes, and I have no intention of fast-forwarding it. I listen to them at 1.5ⅹ speed during my evening walks. Fast-forwarding to the latest episode would mean I would miss out on lot of interesting conversation and knowledge.

It was just my mum and I at home to celebrate New Year’s eve, so I baked a few pizzas and we relaxed watching the usual programming on Indian television 😄

My Macbook Pro M1 Pro’s Apple Care has since expired as well, and unfortunately, unlike the US, Canada, or some European countries, Apple does not allow renewing Apple Care directly online through their checkcoverage website.

This is quite unfortunate, as I plan to continue using this incredible computer for a few more years. I’ll probably give Apple Support a call in the coming week to figure this out.

I’ve been making steady progress on Elytra and Pockity’s upcoming releases. I also plan to spend some time today on Incise, adding support for multiple-images in a post, and being able to edit posts.

I’ve been making micro tweaks to Incise’s UI, having recently shared the finalised Logo for the service. Now that I have federation and ActivityPub + ActivityStreams working reliably, I can spend more time bringing this to a v1 launch sometime this year.
