May was an incredibly packed month, which sort of explains why it took me so long to write this post. Now that I have some time to go through all the events, let's take a look back together, and go through some of the things that happened in May!

Recently in April '26

Apr 30, 2026

April is now coming to and end, and with it, a new blog post is born. Around 33% of the year has now gone by, and we're starting to head into the prime time of the spring. Looking back at this month, it's been quite quiet. I know I said the same thing last month, but now it's for real.

Stepping Into The Car

Apr 27, 2026

So far, 2026 has been a peculiar year in many different ways. It seems to be the year where I'm starting to do things I had been avoiding for quite some time. It first started with swimming, and now driving.

Getting My First Swimming Diploma

Apr 21, 2026

My updates about swimming keep aging fast, and that's a good sign. Last month, I mentioned I was finally having lessons at the deep end of the pool, and how it was being a blast. So much happened the past three weeks though!

Now that I am looking back at what happened in March, I see it was quite of a calm month. Oddly enough, I didn't perceive it as so, since I feel like it went by so fast. Let's then take a look back together, but I'm sure this will be a shorter post than in the previous months.

Swimming On The Deep End

Mar 31, 2026

My update about swimming late last month aged very fast. Two weeks after, I got moved up to level 5, which means that all of my lessons are now fully on the deep side of the swimming pool. It's going well and I enjoy it a lot. Once I get the Diploma A, I'll be allowed to go swimming laps at the swimming pool.

Using Claude Code To Improve Eagle

Mar 14, 2026

In general, I haven't been very outspoken about LLMs in this blog, or in general. For no specific reason other than not using them that much. I'm now revisiting the topic, as I've implemented a few features with the help of Claude Code in Eagle, the little program behind my website.

Update On File Browser

Mar 11, 2026

Last year, I wrote a bit on maintaining open source projects. At the time, I was struggling with one of my most (unexpectedly) successful side projects, File Browser. Today, I want to give an update on it, since I never wrote again about it. I'm hoping that this post helps explaining the current status of the project.

Adding Standard.site Support

Mar 4, 2026

At the beginning of February, I wrote about my recent adventures in the ATmosphere. At the time of writing, I was working on adding standard.site support to this website. In the meanwhile, I've finished it and my blog should be fully compliant with the specification.

The shortest month of the year is now ending, which means that two months of 2026 are already gone! February was quite a busy month for me, and it feels like I never had time to fully stop and rest. Let's take a look.

Swimming Lessons Check-in

Feb 24, 2026

A few weeks ago, I wrote about finally starting swimming lessons. Almost two months in, I thought it'd be nice to write a small check-in on how it's going. If I had summarize the past few weeks, it'd be simple: I'm loving it!

New Website, Who Dis?

Feb 21, 2026

If you're reading this on my website right now, you might be thinking: what the hell did Henrique do? After a few years of calmness and small changes here and there, I've decided to fully redesign this website. And by fully, I mean rewrite around half of the CSS. Much of the old CSS is still floating around. Welcome to my refurbished Internet island!
