Learning about stair-cases and human norms is something that I don’t do on a regular basis.
#StuckOnRepeat: “Good Fortune” by PJ Harvey
With all M$’s apps being basically fancy web apps, there is no need to actually install any of their legacy applications locally anymore. Since I am online basically 100% of the time this turns my Office experience in a Chromebook like one. No installs, never outdated software. Just a yearly subscription contribution to worry about.
@prologic@twtxt.net The “game” will involve racing and exploding cake - I think he got inspiration from SuperTuxKart. So will see how far we can go. He’s only five still..
Rediscovered how it’s possible to show/hide content on an HTML page without JavaScript, using a checkbox and some sprinkle of CSS magic.
My son said for the first time he wanted to make a game himself today. Going to freshen up my canvas and collision detection skills.
Qnap’s Hybridmount feature makes it possible for me to access the files on OneDrive as if they were available from a local network drive on my Fedora PC. Pretty neat (when everything works).
I would love to be able to time travel back to the days when Talking Heads toured and witness one of their epic live concerts.
Anyone else working with Mac OS (work), Windows (client project) and Fedora (private) on the same day, almost every day?
Hey Apple, it’s 2023 - about time to start supporting the content indexation of markdown files in Spotlight out of the box, don’t you think?
The local energy Company is doing an Advent contest with a word guessing game, 21 letters long, it starts with a T and I got all other letters by looking at the source of their site… Put all of the letters into ChatGPT 3.5, but it is having real trouble coming up with something plausible.
In Memoriam voor mijn grootmoeder Agnes Cours, die vandaag haar 88ste verjaardag had gevierd. We missen je!
Pretty neat what one can achieve with Node.js Fs, the Express framework, Redis, a text file and some HTML with a sprinkle of CSS.
Almost six year old loves the New York Rap dance remix from Jan Hammer’s “Axel F” - it’s a bit stuck on repeat. The song is from 1985. Coincidentally the year I was five myself.
First snow fall in DĂĽsseldorf city center this evening.
’t is the Season to restock on batteries.
My son achieved the kindergarten karate belt white-orange-white. He is really proud too himself.
Streaming services can suck. Wanted to watch the classic Elf movie for a fun movie night, but somehow we were getting the message “This movie is not available in your region.”. Turns out we were looking for the wrong title.
Went to the Christmas market for the first time this year.
My kid is amazing
SCP all the things!
Cache rules everything around us.
Feeling nostalgia for simpler web development times.
Context-switches are a real productivity killer if it means that by the time you get back to the previous context your remote desktop session expired.
The best gift anyone could give me is the time to be able to finish reading some books.
Is there a car leasing that does not feel like a trap?
Happy advents calendar month to everyone!
Enjoying the shower as a sensory depreviation cell.
I think I witnessed twice today how someone shop-lifted something from a big department store and ran away with it. One was actually being chased by the shop’s security.
Hurray for password recovery processes.
If snow fall on the mountains is reducing so much, and this snow acted as a water reservoir formed in Winter to get through the warmer, dry summers, then we should start creating huge water reservoirs on top of mountains; pumping the water up there when it rains.
Going for Codeberg to support a non-profit organisation that stands for the common good.
Github is like Linkedin for Developers
Started the process of migrating from Github to Codeberg with my projects.
Obligatory Twtxt post: I love how I can simply use a terminal window and some very basic tools (echo, scp, ssh) to publish thoughts, as they pop up, onto the Internet in a structured way, that can be found and perhaps even appreciated.
Wondering that part of the charm and attraction of Christmas markets could come from a common nostalgia towards every day street markets in towns and a longing for more outside social life during the cold, clammy Winter days.
Keeping the bare minimum of apps installed on my NAS to avoid vulnerabilities.
These guys from the Sokpop game developers collective are really cool.
@eapl.me@eapl.me This is cool Windows history. Thanks for sharing
Figuring out how to properly do session management in Node.js with Redis.
I’m in your node js, messing with your process.env variables.
It is that time of year where I try to be extra nice in customer service Quality and feedback surveys. I once worked on the other side of these, so it might brighten someone’s day.
Another work week just flew by.
One of these tricky things of the German language I haven’t really gotten the hang of is the difference between: “Ich weiss.” and “Ich weiß.”
Got a great idea for an web app: a flashlight app which uses media-queries to detect if the light, aka the body of the page, should be on (white) or off.
It’s getting, it’s getting, it’s getting kinda hectic…
With that said: Happy Thanksgiving to anyone celebrating and for everyone else: happy third thursday of November. I am grateful and I thankful I get to share this thought with you all.
There is a lot of Black Friday promotion happening in Germany these days - I wonder however how many Germans really know where it comes from? Happy Thanksgiving to whoever is celebrating today - as it is one of the few US / Canadian festive days where families - really - try to enjoy their time together.
Having fun with React - yet again. A large part of my job entails (re)learning technologies - luckily I have access to some good resources in the form of training- and tutorial sites, all provided by my employer.
First time ever I made something that uses Redis
