Here we go, the final week of the year.As I pondered already all the way back in June I wasn’t near any family on Christmas for the first time ever. Instead I was near a beach with friends, having BBQ at a resort while a band played...

This was a week of a lot of travel and not much sleep. I was in Köln and had a great dinner with da boys (sans Dino-Dominik, sadly) and just now I had a phở on a little plastic chair next to a busy intersection in the middle of Saigon....
Sleep review, December 14th to December 15th 2025: (Note to self: Don’t only write these when something was wrong.)What a weird one. I woke up three times from strange nightmares. This morning I still feel well rested. I don’t...
The end of the year is rapidly approaching.As expected this week was a bit busy, but I think I’m more or less on track with my tasks. Still more busy days ahead. (Of course it didn’t help at all that instead of doing anything useful I...
Another week done. No, I haven’t gotten all the Christmas gifts, yet, so next week will be a bit busy.Besides this, not much to tell. I finally managed to cut together a few clips from our family hiking weekend in October and I was a bit...
Sleep Review, November 1st to November 2nd, 2025: Don’t even ask. Turns out that eating two little satsumas (or maybe mandarin oranges? Who knows, they label all of them as those and I don’t really know the differences.) just before...

Sleep Review, November 25th to to 26th, 2025: Weird, as it has been the last few nights. On paper more than enough sleep, my body feels pretty awake and rested.But oh boy, am I having a lot of weird dreams lately. Not nightmares, really....
How do you nice people reading my blog handle your Github account(s)? I’ve had my “main” account @lostfocus for ages and used it for pretty much everything I needed to do on Github. Now with my current employer our accounts are put into...
Another calm-ish week. It’s dark, grey and cold as Novembers tend to be. The result is that my brain went into a weird waiting mode even though I should probably be starting to think about Christmas and finding some gifts. It’s just a...
I’m slightly sorry that you got a bunch of my old posts if you are following this blog via ActivityPub/Mastodon/… – I was just moving them to a different category and it seems like that was deemed worthy of an update by the ActivityPub...
Irgendwann hat das Algorithmus von YouTube gedacht, ich müsse Manhunt Bangkok schauen. Ein großes Räuber-und-Gendarm-Spiel für “Influencer” in Bangkok. Irgendwie sind diese Art von YouTube-Serien wie 7 vs. Wild an mir vorbeigegangen und...
Two weeks into the SailNavSim Jules Verne Trophy the field starts to spread out. Something tells me I’ll not be in the very front once the race ends. Reply by email
You know what? I didn’t even take out the garbage. (As in: put the bin out. I took the garbage from my flat to the bin and the bin is still empty enough to wait for another circle.) I’m not even sure what to think about this week.Bad and...
