First day without a headache

Today marks the first day in three weeks that I haven't had a headache. The day isn't over yet, but at least it feels like there's not gonna be a headache.

I'm not sure why I've been having consecutive headaches for over three weeks. It may have something to do with the weather. We've been having cold – warm – cold – hot weather for some time now here in the Netherlands. It's been warm for the last week or so, so maybe that stability is causing the absence. Could have something to do with differences in air pressure, who knows. I tend to have a period of constant light pain in the head every spring.

It may also have something to do with my bad eye-sight. Anything beyond the monitor on my desk is a complete blur to me. Can't read roadsigns from the car (unless really close), can't read advertisements outside stores (yay), etc. So far that has never caused me any problems, but now it might just have caused my headaches. I probably think that every spring though.

This week it's gonna snow again (we just had three days of 20+ degrees Celcius (36+ degrees Fahrenheit), so if the throbbing temples return, I'll know what it was.

Keeping package management in mind

If you write and release Free Software, it may be a good idea to keep some things in mind. Just to, you know, make life a little easier on the package maintainers.

Multiple updates

I've done some updating on this page:

  • Most pages now have a contents listing.
  • New picture of me, since the old one was kind of out of date. This one is even worse (bad lighting, etc) but I'll take another one soon.
  • The top menu items are now also highlighted for subitems of those items.
  • Breadcrumb navigation added (couple of days ago actually)
  • Rewrote the log. It's not yet operational, but it will be soon. Hopefully that'll fix some bugs with navigation, RSS feed and include some more features.
