To begin this post—you might notice that it doesn’t specify which quarter of the year this update is for, and that is by design and personal choice. From now on, this update post will come out twice a year. I no longer need it on a quarterly basis, especially since I’m working on projects that take up a lot of my time.
Now, after this introduction, let’s start with socials! This is something sweet and interesting 🤔, especially since you’ve probably seen a lot of Facebook and Instagram posts in Reel style, and way more TikTok posts. (To be fair, TikTok is mostly for the parish, where I post up to four times a week with regular weekly mass intentions and parish news). Meanwhile, Twitter/X is also active, mostly with sports posts and the promotion of a personal project, which I’ll mention later. I also won’t forget LinkedIn, where I’ve lately been sharing some OpSec posts and comments.
Regarding the website—the Contact page is fully rebuilt using Atomic Elements from Elementor Pro. I also cleaned up the Social Media links and moved them to a new subdomain, https://socials.idzan.hr, keeping a similar design to the main site since I was able to repurpose it. All kinds of links are there, and they are always updated.
As for the website and partially socials—I have built a small, subdomain-based website for the music production I’m creating. I’m using my own ideas combined with AI tools for production, and finally DistroKid for releasing them on platforms like Meta (for Reels), TikTok, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Spotify, Deezer, and many more. Check it out at https://music.idzan.hr 🙂
And for the final project over the last few months, there is a satire-locked link shortener, “Đe’ ba” (dje.ba), which is at least being used for the affiliate part of the site. The Anthem MP3 is hosted there—https://dje.ba/anthem-mp3—so you can see that the link works. If you dare to send an email to Komšo or visit the link to download the Anthem MP3, don’t be surprised if the replies sound a bit drunken—Komšo has that classic hatchet and Balkan humor! 😂
For my personal life, well, after a year and a half with the company (sharing their business opportunities on LinkedIn), they’ve seen that I’m a fast learner. For one project, we received documentation in English—as it’s for multiple regions, not just Croatia—and in just one day, I learned the basics. Now, I’m helping others get into it and teaching them how to use it, because darn it, Dynamics 365 is a total memory (RAM) hogger!
Otherwise, health is fine—though it can always be better.
Until the next design tweaks, new projects, and blog posts about security or even some reviews, stay calm and enjoy!
