How Old-School IRC connections bring unexpected delights

This is really cool. An acquaintance. Well, acquaintance might be stretching it – we’ve been chatting on IRC for many, many years. You know IRC? Yes, that’s how old-school I am, but this connection goes far beyond that. Today, a package arrived from an IRC buddy. I tore it open as soon as I got home. And luckily for me, there was some authentic Swedish tacos ready to be heated up.

Resetting my email game

s part of my ongoing quest to find the best email service, I recently encountered a significant milestone. Just yesterday, I reached the “soft limit” on my Migadu email account. This event prompted me to reevaluate my options and explore new alternatives. After some research, I decided to take the plunge with MXroute’s enticing lifetime promo offer. I must say, the transition has been impressively smooth. The onboarding process was straightforward, and so far, the service has been operating flawlessly.

OK, I’ve probably tried every gym workout app there is. But now, I’ve gone full circle and I’m back to Fitnotes. This time, I’m here to stay. Why? Because this app is by far the best. Its simplicity just wins overall. No more jumping from one app to another – Fitnotes has everything I need.

How to Make DUNDERGLÖGG (Mulled Wine): A Swedish Recipe

It’s time to brew some DUNDERGLÖGG, also known as Mulled Wine. I’ve done this several times before, and it’s difficult to fail. You can experiment as you like, but for your first attempt, I recommend following the original recipe. After the initial try, I suggest adding some fresh sliced oranges with the peel still on. This year, I’m experimenting with “apple must” (apple juice-ish) instead of svagdricka (a type of Swedish malt beverage).
