Oh no. I should not have seen those "day live-blogs in timeline format" posts today. Like this and this. Very nerd-snipy, now I want to play with a format like that as well.(Old-school readers might know that I used to have something like that a few years back, showing the aggregated posts from my blog,...

2026-W35: Sleep

I had plans for this weekend and I had to do some planning for future endeavours to do, instead I am paying the price for all the revenge bedtime procrastination I did this week. So knackered, good god. The one thing I managed to do is to switch my "photo blog to fediverse" thing from...

2026-W34: Watch this

A short (work) week - I had the Monday off and went to Basel for some shopping and lunch with my sister. Of course the Tuesday was very much a condensed Monday then, so that was great. In other news - we finally got some rain, but that seemed to have been a short-lived blessing....

I like to geo-tag all my "stuff" so of course I also like to geo-tag my blog posts. I just wrote a tiny little plugin to do that. I looked at a whole bunch of plugins, I used Simple Location for a while until I realized that all of them are doing way too much....

September Looming

Just for the records: The first morning of the year on which I had to turn on the lamp at my desk when starting to work.

WebSub is one of those underrated technologies that quietly work in the background of the web and that I appreciate quite a bit. It's not super hard to implement and at least in my experience it is super fast as well. (I think) WordPress has it by default, many of the feed-reading services use it...

2026-W33: Eclipse

Just like everyone else in this part of the world, I wanted to see the eclipse last Wednesday. Given that my living room windows face directly toward the sun around the time of the eclipse, I decided to just do that from home. Alas there is a tree in the way and all I saw...

This morning it was Go by The Chemical Brothers.

2026-W32: Chase

I started something on an impulse. I realised after a while that while it might be a great idea, it would be an even better idea as part of something already existing. Now I'm ignoring it altogether and for some reason started Captain of Industry again, which is really, really bad. It's crack. I should...

2026-W31: Technology

Another rather calm and warm week.Workwise I'm currently working on a big task with a technology I haven't used before, so this takes up a lot of my mental energy and struggling with all the weird little mistakes one does when not fully knowing something is surprisingly draining. I'm learning a lot, though, which is...

This week we had two trailers for big Cyberpunk TV series: Blade Runner 2099 and Neuromancer. On the one hand: cool! On the other hand: hm. Let's see if it's a good idea to look at the future the 80s foresaw through a late 2020s lens.

2026-W30: Rewind

After the shenanigans of the last two weeks, this one is clearly one to recharge my social battery. I'm not sure if this is the reason but I also slept particularly bad. At least during the night. Daytime naps were just perfect but usually too short. And I think to celebrate those, I'll take another...
