This was my entry album into Russian Circles. And it’s still my favourite, probably because of being my first. We saw them on tour back then in Auckland, NZ. And I still remember how that end part of “309” blew me away: first that drum beat, and then this thunderous bass. So heavy! And even better live.
Solide Unterhaltung. Der Wald war cool, Max Giermann war cool. Der Tochter hat's gefallen. Wir haben im Kino zu viel Popcorn gefuttert.
Florian asks everyone to please add their email address to their RSS feeds. Because then, FeedCity lets you directly reply to any of that feed’s posts via email (it’s a simple mailto: link).
Of course, I want you to do this, too! It’s one of those many underutilised data from a feed that can be really useful.
One thing to note is, that FeedCity won’t show the email reply button publicly (in FeedCity, all feeds have a public page) – it’s only shown for logged in users (or “citizens” as I call them). Prevents any email harvesting bots from gathering those addresses from the site.
Ha, nice! Had a great time with this last night. Maybe I was a little too tired to follow the fast-paced plot and its twists and turns at all stages. But regardless, this was really funny, had great action, great dialogue, and the two detectives were just perfect. I especially like Ryan Goslings acting. A movie I could easily enjoy multiple times.
Wow, I haven't seen this in a long time. And I pretty much couldn't remember the second half. Enjoyed this a lot. The characters, the sets and the visuals in general, the soundtrack. The content is often questionable. It's partly gross, yet cheekily funny, but always entertaining.
The interesting thing to me when watching old classics like this, is how I discover how influential they have been. Or at least I think I do see those references in other movies. Anyway, I saw elements of Wes Anderson, Michael Haneke and Yorgos Lanthimos in there; and certainly forget a whole bunch of others.
Saw this at the Metropol, where the staff gave yet another lovely introduction to the film.
Oh, I never linked to Florian’s full gallery of Beyond Tellerrand 2025 photos. You might spot me in those!
As someone who has been using their iPad for most of their mobile computing tasks, I very much welcome all those new updates coming with iPadOS 26.
I’ve had this album on my radar already. But it needed their fantastic live gig at this year’s Rock Hard festival to remind me to give it another listen. And I missed out! Great melodies, all the instruments deserve being listened to, and above all is this great emotional voice.
Amenra does an acoustic guitar cover version of maybe my favourite Portishead song. So good! Love how the guitar is recorded and you hear all sorts of background sounds, as well as the player doing the percussion probably live while playing guitar.
If you really wanna fuck up tab order, I suggest you try to nest reading-flow into reading-flow into reading-flow...
Woah, totally doesn't work anymore! 😅
Only thing I am bummed about going to WCEU is the Switch 2 getting delivered later today and I won’t be there to set it up with my daughter. We’ll make good on that on Sunday (or Monday).
The journey to #WCEU starts now! My train has an on-time rate of 35%. 😬 Let’s hope for the best. 🤞
2. when I wanna programm a focus trap, like a modal creates one, it is suddenly not enough to do a querySelectorAll('iframe, input:not([type="hidden"]), select, textarea, button, a, [contenteditable], [tabindex]:not([tabindex="-1"])). I now have to select all elements and filter them for being scroll containers by issuing a costy getComputedStyle(). it would be better if there was a :scrollable pseudo class or similar.
@Chrome Q: starting with Chrome 132, you folks made scrollers focusable when they do not contain any focusable children. In practice that yields two problems for me:
1) to make certain areas not scroll through when a backdrop is visible, I create a pseudo element which cacthes scroll by makeing it scrollable and setting overscroll-behavior: contain. Problem now is that the parent element gets focus, even when it has focusable children itself (only the pseudo hasn't)
