Crypto screwup lessons learned
Wanted to exchange some of the XLM I got through the Keybase Airdrops to Nano. Found swapzone.io which uses Exolix - so I got all the addresses ready after copying the values from the swapzone.io page - but forgot about the importance of the _memo_ field. I didn't copy paste the right number in there. The result: a rejected transaction - while my XLM coins did proceed happily to Exolix's address. Hoping I get to see some of the coins back some day...
Had a great Easter day with my family; we didn't leave the house - but enjoyed the chocolates and had a lot of fun with the new toys the Easter Bunny brought in exchange for my son's pacifiers. He was really brave about giving the pacifiers to the Easter Bunny so the new babies could also have theirs. So proud of him.
The next release of #Lagrange arrives as March draws to a close:
https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange/releases/tag/v1.3.0
There's lots to unpack here: UI localization, LibreTranslate integration, collapsing preformatted blocks, alt text, trust via CAs, theme adjustments, bold link appearance with custom icons, touch screen support, runtime UI rescaling, word/paragraph selection, unread feed entry counter, basic command line use, and several UI improvements.

First day of vacation - spent the whole day in the Hofgarten park with my son. He ran and played in the sandbox - briefly chatted - with mask on - with other parents on anything but Covid - it was a great day outside, with good fun and the weather was warm and pleasant. Life was good today and I'm going to bed relaxed. Tomorrow again?
