Dogs!

Never really thought I'd be someone who would come close to a burnout. I've always been the type of person who just keeps going. There's work to be done, problems to solve, and things that need attention. But I guess there's a limit to everything. The past few months at my 9-5 have been pretty rough. A toxic work environment, difficult customers, constant pressure and negativity. It all starts adding up after a while. And the thing is, you don't necessarily notice it happening. You just keep going, telling yourself things will get better or that you just need to get through another busy week. But eventually you start noticing that you're not really yourself anymore. Things that normally wouldn't bother you suddenly do. You're mentally exhausted, and even when you're not working, your mind is still occupied with everything going on at work. And for someone like me, who genuinely enjoys spending his free time building apps and working on his own projects, that becomes even more frustrating. Because after a full day of dealing with stress, there's often very little energy left for the things you actually enjoy. Today I finally went to the doctor to talk about it. And it seems like taking some rest and getting away from the stress for a while might be a good idea. Not exactly something I expected to be writing about, but here we are. I think sometimes we get so used to pushing through everything that we forget we're not machines. There's always another email, another problem, another customer who needs something urgently. But your health shouldn't be the price you pay for keeping everyone else happy. So I guess it's time to slow down a little, get some rest and figure out how to move forward. Not the kind of progress update I usually share here, but I also think it's important to share the less enjoyable parts of life sometimes. Take care of yourselves, everyone. ☕

Lets give this a try as well The portrait is off but the rest is pretty close

Had an entire setup to burn multiple cds at once

Good morning everyone! ☕️ What's everyone up to today? For me it's another busy day at the 9-5. Plenty of work to get through, but hopefully I'll have some time and energy left later to work on my own projects. Got a few things I'm really excited to get back to, but first I have to pay the bills somehow 😂 Anyway, coffee is ready. Time to get to work! Hope you all have a great day!

Morning everyone! Hope you all have a great Sunday. I'm touching grass today 🌱 Sunday picture day is making a comeback. Here are a few shots I took in #Thailand some time ago. Hope you enjoy them!

Just pushed Mimir 0.6.1! 🔧 This one is a small hotfix for the permissions system. You no longer have to approve every little thing your AI assistants want to do. You can now enable "Don't ask me first" for a bot and let it get on with its work. And if you click "Always" when approving an action, Mimir will actually remember that choice from now on I've also included a quick video showing how easy it is to set up bot with a routine in Mimir. More updates coming soon! heymimir.app

Nice going dude

It's finally the weekend! No 9-5 for the next two days, so I've got some time to work on my own projects again. Got a few updates I want to finish, some things I want to experiment with and hopefully a bit of time to actually relax as well. Although knowing me, relaxing will probably involve opening my MacBook and doing some coding 😂 Anyway, hope you all have a great weekend! What's the plan? Building something, heading outside or enjoying some well-deserved time off?
