Weekly review cw 44
The short week was training-intensive but also with room for regeneration: I have a wellness recommendation for you. You will also find an extensive low-code workflow from my side hustle crossposter.
YADL Blog
I have expanded my blog to include a contact page. Thanks to the Kirby Uniform Plug-in, this was a small step of a few hours. In addition, I was able to incorporate optimizations for mobile viewing on cell phones. Little things like that feel excellent.
The strength is to be found in serenity
I have decided to stay calm when playing table tennis, not tense up, and use my top spins softly. I managed to do this in training and wanted to finally be able to do that under competition conditions. I took two two-hour individual lessons for this. The result was positive. In the last league game, I was able to implement my strategy as planned and win 3-0. That was an excellent feeling.
Side Hustle
A Crossposter MVP feature is synchronizing Mastodon posts to Bluesky. For this, I have developed a workflow with N8N that listens to the Mastodon RSS feed and starts when changes occur. Messages that are too long are converted into Bluesky threads, and attachments are copied. Because Bluesky only allows images up to a certain size as attachments, the attachments are filtered, scaled, and only then forwarded. The result looks like this:

Inclusion
On Thursday, I went to the Ariba swimming pool with my daughter. As usual, there was a line... in the summer it is extremely long, with a wait of an hour or more. The lady at the checkout was kind enough to tell me that with my daughter's severely disabled person ID card, I could always go straight to the front without having to wait. I think this is so great that I wanted to mention it.
Wellness recommendation
If you come from Hamburg or the surrounding area and want to do something good for yourself, I can recommend a day at Vabali in Oststeinbek. The atmosphere is relaxing, the staff is competent and friendly, the grounds are picturesque, and the sauna selection is extensive. On such a day, I find the opportunity to read a lot and let my thoughts take their course.
