French test: Passed ✅

Speaking of which, you can read about my French test adventures on my Patreon. Mostly I’m glad to have that over with. It had been a big ticket item on my to-do list since before Covid so it feels very good to check that off.

Anyway, you’ve not missed much. It’s been several weeks of good old-fashioned adulting: taxes, applications, meetings with real estate law experts, and stressing about various things simultaneously.

I’ve also made some big life changes recently.

Most notably I switched from reading my RSS feeds on Inoreader back to reading them on Readwise Reader.

I know what you must be wondering: What could’ve led to such a life-altering decision?

Glad you asked.

The other day I got an email from Readwise giving me an update on all of their latest features and I was like, “You know what? I kind of miss Readwise Reader.”

So, I decided to go back. It was a pretty big move to make on a whim. It involved exporting and then importing my feeds, a complex process that took at least two minutes. I also had to re-download the app on my iPad. It was a lot of work, but I have no regrets. It’s important to take risks sometimes.

Speaking of taking risks, I learned that Ghost now has ActivityPub integration and once I figure out what that means I’ll go ahead and toggle it on.

I also learned that Notion has a feeds view option now and that’s super exciting. You can basically turn any database into a blog. I haven’t figured out a good personal use-case for this feature yet but once I do I’m sure it’ll be a game-changer.

I think I've rambled long enough about absolutely nothing.

Miss me?

Don't answer that.
