Weeknotes moved
I'm not sure if it's the right decision, but I've now moved my Weeknotes to micro.blog to gather everything in one place.
Cu over there (hopefully) 🙋♂️

In continuation of week 48, here are a few thoughts and things that caught my attention in week 49, 2023:
🦠 Yes, I had already feared it, and unfortunately, it happened: My wife's Covid-19 infection did not pass me by. Therefore, my weeknote is regrettably appearing a little too late "this week."
🔫 You may not necessarily like the content, but technically, the trailer for GTA VI definitely blew me away.
✏️ Another PDF editor that I will look at in my long search for an alternative to Preview1 is PDFgear - PDF Tasks Made Easy.2
🪟 Gruber released An AppleScript for Safari to move all tabs in the frontmost window, from the current tab to the rightmost (last) tab, to a new window: Split Tabs to New Window.scpt. But even better is the tip from Jack Wellborn, that you can easily drag and drop multiple tabs into a new window.
📝 I have been doing most of my (transformative) text work with BBEdit for decades. I really wouldn’t know what to do with my life without Multi-File Search and Regex, but sometimes I also like to use TextBuddy or Text Workflow. Another nice app that does something similar is by Chris Hannah and now apparently even free for iOS and macOS: Text Case.
📝 While I'm on the topic of text editors. CotEditor now also has a Quick Action Bar - if only the programs could agree on a uniform shortcut!

In continuation to week 47, here are a few thoughts and things that caught my attention in week 48, 2023:
🦠 My wife was plagued at the beginning of the week with severe headaches and especially nausea. The Corona test was negative. However, on Friday it turned out that she did have Corona, for the first time (proven) since the beginning of the pandemic. She is now slowly getting better, but it has really knocked her down. Let's hope the children remain spared, who have already had it several times, though. Now I am the last one in the house on whom the virus has not yet shown up on a rapid test. Let's see how much longer.
🤷♂️ Somehow I can't decide right now whether I should publish my weeknotes in full length on weblog.lol or micro.blog. So far, I have done it on weblog.lol and only created the shorter posts on micro.blog3. But there are so many nice tools like Micro Publish, MarsEdit, and iA Writer to publish directly on mb. I'll just put the post on both platforms for now and think about how I will handle this in the future by next week.
✏️ Speaking of iA Writer, a really great editor that I use far too infrequently, was just released in Version 7. It has a very interesting approach regarding "citing"1 in Markdown files2. There is also a call to implement the syntax extension in Obsidian.
