A New Wrist Gizmo
This past weekend I replaced my Samsung Galaxy 4 watch with a refurbished (or, technically, Amazon listed it as 'refreshed') Samsung Galaxy 6. I had originally gotten my 4 from a Woot deal in 2022, and greatly enjoyed it.
Truthfully the most important thing for me with the watch is that I can leave my phone on silent and rely on my watch to share notifications via vibration.
The replacement was triggered because the Galaxy 4 watch battery had gotten to the point where it couldn't hold a day's charge. So we've put the 4 aside and moved onto the new watch. There aren't any life changing differences between my old and new watches, the tech is basically just better on every axis but there are no major new features. I briefly considered making the jump straight to the Galaxy 7, the newest model, but the price difference - even with trade-in - on my Galaxy 4 watch didn't make it worth it to me over getting the refurbished 6.
As it is, I'm enjoying the new watch - and, added bonus, I now have two chargers for my watch so I can keep one by my recliner in the evenings, and one at my desk or something.

Ebook2audiobook selfhosted project
Saw this project and dropping it here for me to come back to. The idea is you can upload an ebook and it generates an AI generated audiobook file for it.

Small blog updates
Made some small blog updates today:
- I tweaked some small CSS display things which were bothering me.
- I removed the social links at the top for the platforms I don't use (X, Threads.)
- I've attempted to reintegrate my writing tracking into the end of day automated post. It's not quite as robust as it was, but this was meant to be quick and simple.
- Modified our url code to include the github user when it shows the github.com url after a link.
Update: One more idea I am messing with, but I like the idea of displaying my blog posts by day similar to the Github activity grid. I started messing around with it but it's a bit more complicated.
Update 2: Okay, the Github heatmap grid is now done. It's on the sidebar and will fill through the year, but also I have added it to the date archive page under each year header.
