A week with a public holiday is a pretty good week. I got talked into going for an indoor miniature golf outing with my nieces and nephews which went about as well as expected.I’ve been watching the Nürburgring 24h race and all the...
Back when we did things like “buy a cd and use iTunes to turn the music into mp3s” I used MusicBrainz Picard a lot to get all the metadata I needed. And then I kind of forgot about MusicBrainz.Turns out: it is still going strong. It does...
I often wake up with a random song as an earworm – and now I note them down for your enjoyment. This morning it was D:Ream with Things Can Only Get Better Reply by email
Hm. I moved all the little scripts I had running on a Raspberry Pi to my Mac Mini so I could install Home Assistant to it. So far I haven’t done anything wild with it, except created a bunch of dashboards. Who’d have known that the...
I can’t help to note just how nice it is to wake up three days in a row without an alarm.I had a little bit too much beef (the food, not disagreeing with people) on Friday, so obviously I needed the whole of Saturday to recover. And...
I have seen a blog post asking Who knows that you blog? making the rounds lately and for me the answer is pretty easy: probably everyone who knows me but not many people are even remotely interested. (Some are and: thank you! I really...
Another calm week that went by very fast, not much to tell. I didn’t even take a single photo, that is all pretty remarkable.As I’ve written about on Thursday I started cleaning out my side-projects. Annoyingly enough it rather gave me...
I just went through a tour de force of going through all the subdomains (and domains, lol) that I have gotten and set up for random side projects over the year. Good god. I cancelled a whole bunch of auto-renews and now have a long todo...
Bubbles mostly seems to be a place to vote for blog posts about Bubbles. (I kid, of course. It looks nice and I’ve bookmarked it.) Reply by email
First asparagus dinner of the season. Can’t complain except someone wasn’t peeling them properly which was a bit of a problem. (That someone was me, obviously.) Went to have a quick planespotting evening with my cousin, which ended up...
Sleep review, lunch break nap April 14th, 2026: 8/10, too short, otherwise no notes. Reply by email
Sleep review, April 13th to April 14th, 2026 (Remember the last time when I said I should write these when the sleep is good? Well, lol. I guess it’s like how I only update dominik.ist when I feel like complaining. How very German of me....
A short and rather quiet week. Helping out my coworkers in their project was a very welcome change of pace at work. The allergies came back with a vengeance after I ran around all Easter weekend, telling everybody that I think the worst...
I was watching the Artemis II flyby last night. So of course I am rather tired today. I really like dashboards – I’ve been looking at the one for Artemis II by Canadian Space and it is rather fancy. Now I want my own for whatever kind of...
I hope you had a good Easter weekend, mine was very relaxed indeed. Today a (very) short little “hike” with the family, a bit of picnic, an early return home and a long nap with wide open windows with the birds singing, I can’t...
