2 Weeks
I have just turned two weeks away from the bike and any other physical activity due to a clog that appeared in my varicose veins. The pain in my leg is gone thanks to the anticoagulants, but it still looks ugly. The vein stiffens in such a way it feels very weird to touch. Fortunately…

New WordPress Theme
Today I changed the WordPress theme of this website. After almost 4 years using The Independent Publisher theme, I finally decided to embrace WordPress FSE with the standard Twenty Twenty Four vanilla theme. I’m surprised how easy it was to migrate from a non-block theme to a full block based theme. Maybe because my website…

Fonts and Spreadsheets
I’m working on a hobby project of building a “Mathematics applied to Finance” course. That means using a spreadsheet to build basic business finance scenarios without using any functions but formulas with the typical addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operations.

Confirmado: os chatos se amam!
Imagem de capa gerada por AI via MS Copilot Designer. Até então esses dois caras com quem eu frequentava academia não eram amigos. Se reconheciam, claro, pois se cumprimentavam todos os dias e trocavam duas palavras: “Oi” e “Tchau”. Um belo dia, algo muito interessante aconteceu: eles resolveram conversar. Mas não foi uma conversa qualquer.…

Cafés e Livros Bons
Sentado numa padaria, inicio a leitura de C.S. Lewis e sua autobiografia “Surprised by Joy”. A primeira página me leva para a Irlanda no início dos anos 1900 com o autor descrevendo sua família. Custo a crer que um texto escrito há tanto tempo tenha tanta fluidez. Parece ter sido escrito agora no século 21.…
