I like the new Galaxy S22 devices, especially the non-Ultra ones. If the rumour that Samsung might finally launch with Snapdragon processor in India is true, I might seriously consider the non-plus variant. Plus the downslide that OnePlus is on makes this decision a lot easier.

I now have 3 posts in draft, unpublished, because I’m not yet satisfied. Another reason why I’ve more micro posts than the long-form ones. I feel a sense of attachment to the stuff I post on my blog. The stuff I wrote on Twitter and other platform can get lost. Literally.

Drafts with Write.as

I wasn’t aware that there’s a way to create drafts with Write.as. With no option in the editor to save a post in-works as draft, I always thought it wasn’t possible. I should read a bit first before deciding on what I know. In fairness, though, the workflow is different, slightly reverse from all other #platforms. You basically publish a post and expect it to be a draft as it was done anonymously.

Anyway, every time I access Write.as, everything looks too fragmented to me. I land on a page which is a blank one with a blinking cursor. Brilliant! But what next? There’s nothing else if you don’t know where to go. I can see my blog posts, edit them. Do you want the community? There is a different product. Pictures you say? That’s another different product.

For example, I still wonder how do I add an image here? Can I? Or is the image’s workflow separate? Possibly, it is part of the Rich editor available as a Pro feature?

All said, this is a nice editor.

I have released an upgrade 1.0.4 to the Paper theme today. There are no visible changes, just fixes for a few issues that I have observed or have been reported to me. Mainly with archive page, custom CSS and plugin CSS & files. Let me know if you observe anything amiss.

I replaced my glasses today after going through the tiring trouble of shopping for them. There is no other process for me that’s so meaningless. What’s the most important thing in a spectacle? The lenses. How much percentage of time do I spend on deciding on the lens? Not more than 5%.

And shopping for the eyeglass frame then is shopping for fashion, which I have no sense for. What I like, I am told, doesn’t look good on me. It’s either too big. Or too small. What I am told looks good, I am not comfortable wearing that. Tired, I purchase one from whatever remains. What are clothes for if not just for covering my body, my brain consoles my crying mind each time.

That’s how my shopping for a frame for my glasses goes. What is the frame for if not just for holding the lenses within.

A morning during a train ride, in a foreign land, an unknown city is always beautiful. Curious how we connect to a rising sun, irrespective of the place. Day 30 of #30day 🖼️

A morning walk skipped for a relaxing cup of tea with my wife. Basking in the morning sunlight. A deal that I will take any day. Day 27 of #30day 🖼️
