I have been working on my first Next JS app that fetches the content from my WordPress website, same content as is on grimur.net &#8211; but I decided to only fetch posts that don&#8217;t have a password.



Here are a few things I&#8217;m going to work on next.



<ul>
<li>Lightbox with swipe capability on mobile</li>



<li>Add different style to active page link in navbar.</li>



<li>Add animation when navigating between pages.</li>



<li>Add next/prev links to posts.</li>



<li>Might add a sidebar navigation on mobile or different and more responsive for navbar</li>
</ul>



<a href="https://app.grimur.net" data-type="URL" data-id="https://app.grimur.net">Check the new app out</a>, hope you like it, main reason is it is faster when navigating between pages since it doesn&#8217;t have to reload the whole page on each request only loads content needed.

My first Next JS app

I really enjoy a nice cup of good espresso. I always buy my coffee beans from Te &amp; kaffi, they say buy your coffee beans from the same place as you like the coffee. Now I’m going to try the very same beans as Te &amp; kaffi makes their espresso shots from.

So now I have tried these beans, I’m not sure if I taste the difference. There is a subtle difference maybe but not so much to pay the difference I think.

This is part of what I do at work, that is fixing EPSON printers. The main reason for a printer not functioning as it should is that it is not used often enough. Or the paper that is used is a cheap kind that leaves a lot of paper dust. A good tip I give to our customers is:
<ul>
<li>Use the printer at least once per month, </li>
<li>Only use EPSON genuine inks (not 3rd party inks, the cheap ones)</li>
<li>Use better paper, that doesn&#8217;t mean go for the most expensive paper, just don&#8217;t go for the cheapest.</li>
</ul>

At long last Netflix has officially arrived to Iceland, without having to trick with VPN/proxy/DNS. Not only that but now Icelandic is also an option both for subtitles and audio, jibby 🙂

The year 2015 was a great year. I did my parental leave at home with my lovely daughter Ísabella, I learned a lot and we had a lot of fun together 🙂 
I hope 2016 will also be a good year. All the best to all my friends and family all over the world.

Happy new year!

Good to know 🙂

Interesting about napping

Open Print Queue from Preferences to Cancel Print Jobs



The other option is to access the print queue from the Printer System Preferences, you’ll end up in the same place as you did in the prior method. Do this if for some reason the printer icon is not visible in the OS X Dock, or if you prefer to go the Preferences route:



<ol><li>Open the Apple menu and go to “System Preferences” and choose Printers</li><li>Select the active printer and choose “Open Print Queue” button</li><li>Select and cancel the print job(s) as desired, canceling them and removing them from the printing queue</li></ol>

It was amazing to see the solar eclipse from Iceland. At work we used a transparency printed with black ink. It worked really well. It was amazing to see this from the beginning to the end. Even schools and kindergartens got given special glasses for the kids to view it also.

Solar eclipse

In the autumn of 2014, there was intense seismic activity underneath the glacier Bárðarbunga, raising fears of a volcanic eruption. When the eruption started, however, it was outside of the glacier area. The resulting lava field is called Holuhraun. <a href="http://www.mbl.is/frettir/knippi/3305/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Source</a>
