Life is what happens…

Remkus wrote on 20 April, 2022 5 Comments

… to you when you’re busy making other plans. It’s a famous quote by John Lennon that proves to be true time and time again. At least for me. Yesterday, I’ve let everyone at Servebolt know I would leave them. I found myself wanting to pursue personal (business) goals that required me to be fully… Continue reading »

Stop Chrome from hiding full URL

Remkus wrote on 19 October, 2020 20 Comments

Chrome 86 adds yet another obfuscation. Slugs are no longer visible and only visible upon hover. Chrome has been trying for ages now to hide the full URL in its address bar – Ominbox in Chrome’s own terminology – and I find it annoying as hell.

“It’s almost like our unconsciousness is a kind of failure”

You know I’m all about applying perspective as much as possible when living our daily lives. It’s also one of the topics we frequently discuss with our kids – 10, 16 and 18yo.

Transactional email alternatives (for Mandrill App)

Remkus wrote on 25 February, 2016 13 Comments

Like many of you, I’m sure, I found an email from Mandrill App in my inbox today that explains them merging their service with the parent company MailChimp. I’d be fine with the merge in itself, I love MailChimp, but what I don’t like about this move is this section: Our billing and pricing model… Continue reading »

Johann Hari: Everything you think you know about addiction is wrong

Remkus wrote on 12 July, 2015 Leave a Comment

is to say to the addicts in my life that I want to deepen the connection with them, to say to them, I love you whether you’re using or you’re not. I love you, whatever state you’re in, and if you need me, I’ll come and sit with you because I love you and I… Continue reading »
