This is another test post for WebSub notifications.
Websites and blogs of people that attended a Homebrew Website Club Düsseldorf.
It’s create day at IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf, and I’m trying to make WebSub updates work for my site (and this is an update).

Quite a few exciting days lie ahead of me:
- There’s the IndieWebCamp on the weekend.
- There’s Beyond Tellerrand on Monday and Tuesday.
- And I’m going to launch the product I’ve been working on alongside those event.

Last Sunday, I’ve been on another photo trip with Florian. We had a great time in fantastic weather at the Tetraeder in Bottrop. He took some fabulous photos:
Photo Blog Archive, Yea or Nay?
An archive page for my photo blog was never anything I wanted to do, simply because I don’t want people to look at tiny images and quickly scroll by à la Instagram. (I've written about it and it still stands.)
On the other hand, I understand that it can be tricky to get into...

We recently bought a (used) car online. Just got their newsletter suggesting more cars like the one we got. I don’t know… How many cars do people usually buy in a month? 🤔
I made a thing using CSS to display a four-image slideshow at the top of the Forkalyst homepage. I was (and still am) experimenting with positioning, gradients and animation. It took me longer than I thought it would and I’m still not 100% happy. But I reckon it’s good enough for now.
🎬 The Substance
This might be the most disgusting film I've ever seen. And it's not "just" all the guts and gore; it's all the food stuff, too. And all those close-up and wide-angle shots really emphasise it all. It's quite remarkable how this movie made me feel. And those makeup and "costumes": so good! I really wonder how this got so mainstream. Anyway, it's really a courageous piece, directing- and acting-wise. And it's funny, too. It's so over the top, it could not not be funny. The society criticism is not subtle at all, and I found this rather fitting. Writing all this, I kind of want to watch another round. But I'm not quite sure, if I'm courageous enough.
March 2025
This is a bit late, but I haven’t gotten around to anything other than family time and work in the last couple of weeks. Blogging – or sharing much of anything in general – does not come naturally to me and is one of the first things that immediately takes a backseat when mo...
Photography-wise I’ve been fairly unmotivated recently: no posting, no development, no scanning and only taking few photos. But today was finally a good day again: I spent the whole day outside in the sun with the family and friends while shooting two rolls of Foma 100 with my Lomo LC-A.

The lack of updates on this here website is directly proportional to the amount of family obligations and my work work load. I barely managed to post images in the last couple of days. I hope I’ll at least be able to finish the March review post soon. 🤞
A (command line) utility I’ve been using a lot lately is GitUI. It makes all my day-to-day git-related work easy and enjoyable.
