When I got these two bills out from the ATM in Washington earlier this year, the DXY index which shows the strength of the dollar was at 113.95, today the same strength is lower at 104.32.

Status Update #aside #scurte

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share a quick update about my blog. I recently decided to upgrade the underlying technology stack, which included upgrading the PHP version from 7.4 to 8.2 and upgrading the Laravel framework from version 7 to version 9.

While this process went smoothly overall, I did run into a few issues with certain packages and plugins that were incompatible with the newer versions. It took some time to troubleshoot and resolve these issues, but I am happy to report that everything is now running smoothly on PHP 8.2.

Overall, I’m really excited about the performance improvements and new features that come with these upgrades. I’m looking forward to exploring all that the new versions have to offer and continuing to provide a great experience for my readers.

Thanks for following along, and stay tuned for more updates from me in the future!

Raycast wrapped
I installed Raycast at the end of February this year, so the data you can see in the picture below is almost for the whole of 2022 year. I find it interesting that Whatsapp and Outlook are the most open apps, but I think I know why: I keep VSCode and PhpStorm almost always open...

Diversity Visa

We started timidly, with low hopes but confident that if it's God's will, one day we will move to the United States of America. We participated in the visa lottery for 4 consecutive years and on May 4th, 2024 we found out that we were selected for a possible immigrant visa in 🇺🇸. We owe everything to God, He will help us until the end.
