Now

I spared no expense regarding my time spent on evenings and weekends (and Christmas days off) this month just to reach the perfect balance between HTML/CSS size (less than 200 bytes in the base CSS, among other things), readability, looks, and loading speeds. I think I’ve reached my destination, as detailed in a recent post, and it makes me unreasonably happy; There really isn’t anything to remove any more. I think.

Added then removed a new form system for readers to send me messages (courtesy of xmit). Turns out the current email system is fine and way easier to manage.

Spent a decent amount of time this past month cleaning up Node.js and npm dependencies. Simplified the way Eleventy works in the process (no more pagination, and turns out I didn’t need Luxon for dates); now the site builds in less than 2sec on my Mac, sometimes even less than one.

My MacBook Air, being from early 2020, isn’t able to run MacOS 26, while showing its old age. I will probably wait until March to upgrade to a new Mac.

I am in still the middle of an anime marathon; in 2025, I finished watching Attack on Titan, and watched Death Note (loved it, my fave so far), GTO (not as good as I remembered; season two is pretty bad), Claymore (fine; I could see a live-action adaptation starring Anya Taylor-Joy coming to life one day), and Solo Leveling which was bingeworthy to the point of feeling manipulated, but still a good, feel-good watch. Just finished Dr. Stone and enjoying it more than I expected. I’ve finished watching Berserk (2017), and I loved it (obviously the source of many Dark Souls inspirations), but the Berserk, the Golden Age (Memorial Edition) from 2022 is a stunning masterpiece, I am now considering buying the whole manga set. Wow. I liked The Unwanted Undead Adventurer too. And now, I am finally watching One Piece.

Still working as Lead Content Manager at PrestaShop.
