Converting all the Practicalli books
Another heatwave is over so I can focus on getting more work done on migrating the Practicalli books to Zensical
Entertainment this week includes:
- Silo: season 3 of the excellent post-apocalypse Sci-Fi show with Rebecca Ferguson as a person desperately trying to save the people who live in their silo.
- Lucky: a new crime thriller mini-series in 7 parts, with Anya Taylor-Joy trying to survive the wrath of a crime syndicate whist not getting caught by the FBI. A smart and fun joyride.

Converting books to Zensical, mainly so they will build faster. The Zensical theme is a little different but nicer in most regards.
The Navigation seems to be constrained to two levels in the new Zensical theme, which is a limiting factor for the larger books.
Practicalli Cycling is a new book for 2026 written using Zensical from the start.
These existing books have been partially converted. They use the mkdocs.yml config but are built with Zensical

I may need a new cassette at some point.
Looking at the ZTTO cassettes give about an 85 gram weight advantage over the Shimano Ultegra R8000 cassette, for the 11-32 ratios.
Sigma Sports Ultegra R800 11-speed cassette is currently 45 GBP and seems a reasonable price.

I really like their cycling socks. The silicone grips on the base ensure my feet dont move around. The socks are a little snug for my big feet, but I assume after a few rides then each pair of socks will be a perfect fit.
I've asked a question about the design of the ShiftR 3 short-sleeved Jersey. The description on the website claims it has 3 traditional pockets, but actually its a single cargo pocket with 3 short dividers at the top to give the impression of three separate pockets.
Taking a closer look at the pictures of the ShiftR 3 jersey on the Spatzwear website, it seems this is what the manufactured product looks like. It is strange that the description describes a traditional design, when actually its a different design.
In practice, as the jersey is tight against my body then items shouldn't move around much when I am cycling, so I probably wont notice that its one large pocket during a ride.
Thank you.
