A little family trip to Strasbourg crowned a week that was otherwise similarly mundane as the last couple of them. The city is well worth a visit, it’s very pretty indeed. I started reading a Japanese whodunnit on Saturday which so far...
human.json is exactly the kind of nerdy metadata silliness that is designed to amuse me. It’s a protocol to vouch for people’s websites created by Beto Dealmeida.It basically works by offering a little json file with a list of websites...
The constant urge to keep a grievances.md file while knowing fully well that this would be extremely silly. Reply by email
So, it’s already Monday and here are my notes for last week: Nothing to report, carry on. I know this is a bit boring to read. At the moment my brain seems to be in the same mode as my Wallabag installation, (which I did manage to get...
Three K-pop(-ish) songs I enjoyed recently: Hypnotize by XG, Catch Catch by Yena and Bang Bang by Ive. Reply by email
Not much to report on this week. It was mostly cold and rainy, I got lost in Captain of Industry (yes, again. No, I don’t learn from past mistakes) and rewatched the first season of True Detective. I almost bought something online and...
I often wake up with a random song as an earworm – and now I note them down for your enjoyment. This morning it was Entre Dos Tierras by Héroes del Silencio Reply by email
I’m thinking a lot about adding a blogroll lately. I’m considering everything from a simple list to a full-blown reader experience. My WordPress installation is old enough to still have the Links Manager, so I might just use that. Reply...

Oh boy. The pollen allergy season is in full swing already. And of course I forgot to order my antihistamines. Reply by email
It is a bit baffling. I’m working with a whole bunch of WordPress installations, every single one of them with the server time zone set to UTC and the WordPress time set to Europe/Berlin. It works fine in all of them – except with one...
I spend my morning watching reels from expats in Dubai and yes, you’re right, iOS. I have indeed reached my limit on Instagram. Meanwhile I have fallen out of love with Wallabag. Mostly because it suddenly didn’t let me log in anymore...
PSA: The new Gorillaz album is out today and it is very good, indeed. Reply by email
That was in many way a very surprising week. A spontaneous decision meant that on Monday afternoon I drove into Köln. On Rosenmontag no less. I reached the town late enough that there weren’t any road closures, but being not very...
I always like to try new ways of reading RSS, so of course Current seemed interesting at first. Alas, the first blog post looked a bit too wank-y and learning that while it proudly proclaims to respect a user’s attention it doesn’t seem...
