Woohoo, sent Färjestad Karlstad home with a 2-1 so München is already qualified for the knockouts. 😃 It’s always like winning a trophy when a german team beats a Swedish team. #CHL
I used to write poems, but I stopped. Now I want to make a book filled with poems for my gf. I got 2 months, wish me luck
What a match. Ingolstadt was leading 3-1 and 4-2 but Munich fought back and won 4-7! #INGvsRBM Also 5th regular time win in a row, so Munich remains unbeaten in the new season. Seems this season will be a lot of fun again.
SemPress war das erste WordPress Theme (September 2002), das Microformats 2 unterstützte und somit voll IndieWeb-kompatibel war.

I’d run Oceanhorn 2 on my iMac. Installing a kext for my Switch Pro Controller isn’t something I want to do ever again, though.
@mdosch@mdosch.de I’ve tried to play games on my phone and iPad but none of the games I’ve ever played on them seem to stick. I’ve had fun — briefly — with Threes and FTL and Really Bad Chess and so forth, but I don’t seem to stick with any one game on my iOS gizmos like I have with, say, FTL-on-Steam, much less TF2 or Dota 2.
Is it weird that I just want to hang around with some folks and discuss sysctl(2) over a beer or two?

I think DEVO might have got their math wrong in We’re Through Being Cool. Have I met 2 dozen members of any social group? That’s like 20% of my dunbar allocation.
You know, Desert 2 is probably the best static Mojave wallpaper. It has enough light parts for the daytime, yet it also is generally dark enough to work well in dim lighting. Not many photographs are like that.
