Mastodon, bluesky and the blue bird
Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of —annoying— noise about the little blue bird (which is no longer a bird, nor blue), the blue butterfly (Bluesky, I guess), and the Mastodon.
Automating the media (hugo-medialog.go)
As someone who consumes and tracks a some media items (books, series, movies, videogames, music…), I’ve always looked for ways to keep an updated record without adding too much friction to my workflow.
Small tweaks in the blog
I’ve finally managed to make a few small changes to this site that I’ve been wanting for a while. There were certain small details that didn’t quite convince me, and with each passing day, I felt a growing need to try and adjust them.

Madrid, spring 2024
If memory serves me right, this is the first family trip we’ve taken since last summer. It’s been a somewhat unusual winter, but in the end, we managed to break away from routine and enjoy a weekend in the capital with the excuse of seeing a musical we’ve been wanting to watch for a while.
Good Bye Vila Penguin
Last photo of the family in front of the mirror in one of the rooms, saying definitely goodbye to 15 years of adventures. Vila Penguin was the nickname of our apartment (in tribute to Dr.
Microposting... obs2hugo.go
The other day, I raised through Mastodon what I call «the problem of microposting» and tried to find a solution that could cover my use case minimally. Microposting is a brief and agile way of publishing “stuff” easily and with minimal friction.
