No prizes for guessing where I spent Thursday, Friday, and Saturday morning. Yeah, FRA again. What can I say? It's my favorite place, and it's not going to change any time soon. The forecast on Aktuelle Betriebsrichtung und...
When I need to update content of this very Tinble-based blog, I usually do that via SSH. It's a simple solution that works, but it does have drawbacks. Firstly, there is no backup: I edit original files, so if something goes wrong, my...
Even though the missus and I weren't feeling all that well, we decided to go on a weekend trip to Frankfurt. After all, if staying there helped my back, so there was no reason to think it wouldn't help to banish the rest of the flu....
Just a quick update to let you know that Tinble now uses the unified content directory for storing articles, pages, drafts, and images.
Although I have been sick like a dog for almost two weeks, I spent most of my couch time productively. Besides finishing off several books, I've also learned a few useful self-hosting and Docker skills. Here's what I know how to do now.
I've tweaked the Tinble logo, because I wanted something simpler and with punchier colors than the current one. Plus, I was bored, because I'm still trying to shake of the flu that has been dogging me for two weeks now. Also, because I...
I've added a tiny block of code to Tinble, and now you can pin articles, so they always appear at the top of the article list no matter the date they were published on.
The "feeling under the weather" thing just wouldn't go away, so my plan this Sunday was not to have any plan at all. I just wanted to stay on the couch and binge on Slow Houses. I was through the Episode 1 of Season 4, when I glanced on...
Even though I felt under the weather, I ventured to NUE last night to catch the SprintAir Saab 340A(QC) (reg. SP-KPC). It was surprisingly chilly, and I wished I wore warmer clothes. The machine was a no-show, but there was some activity...
Last night, exhausted and confused, summer bumped into autumn and dissolved into a gloomy and chilly morning weather with a sprinkle of drizzle. I took a shower, and it felt like I washed away what was left of the summer.
I went to NUE on Saturday. Not because I was expecting anything in particular, but because I wanted to spend some time photographing airplanes. My catch was rather modest: an Airbus A320 belonging to Freebird, a stripey Condor Airbus...
With an insurance sticker firmly attached to the rear mudguard, I wanted to give my electric scooter a proper test. So I've been zooming around NUE all day long on Sunday.
Surprise! I didn't go to FRA this Saturday. Instead, I spent time on fixing an issue in Tinble that had been bothering me for a while. You see, when deleting a page or an article, the orphaned .reads files would cause all kinds of problems.
While Metar Viewer - Metar Reader is not on the same level as Metar-Taf when it comes to functionality and polish, the former does have a couple of useful features that make it worth having on your Android device.
Yes, I have. Because 1) riding a bike hasn't been an option for quite a while due to my knees, 2) walking to spotting locations takes too long, and 3) new toy!
