It is been a while that I have been in the lovely city of Kortrijk. Last time that was 2012 ans the event still was called Multimania. I finally made it back and Bump is a one day festival celebrating creativity. Lovely to see Charlie Gerard and Paddy Donnelly on stage here, who both spoke at beyond tellerrand also. But excited to see new presentations also! And this year even Tobi, the musician known as Baldower, who plays at beyond tellerrand aince 2013, is here. Fun all around.
Reply via EmailUpgrading from Kirby 4 to Kirby 5
Let me give you one of the reasons why I am in love with Kirby CMS for more than a decade now.
I just upgraded 5 of my websites running on Kirby from Version 4 to Version 5. This is a major release with many new features and not a bug fix or any minor upgrade.
Usually you are prepared for things to break, right?
Nope!
Time: 2 minutes
Problems: 0
What a wonderful, stress free and painless experience! Thanks to the Kirby Team ;)

Reply via EmailYou know the problem when you accidentally or naively committed on the main Git branch, but then you’re too far coding something that turns out to need more and more (unexpected) work, and you find yourself not able to deploy to production? Yep, happened to me today (again).
I Opened Facebook After a While …
I opened Facebook after a while of not using it. I do have two pages still there (beyond tellerrand and my band SPOILER) and also used to use it to stay in touch with people I know from back in school. But these days, when opening it, it feels as if there is just advertisment and suggested crap. To me it is clear that Facebook is going to die rather sooner than later. And I won't cry, to be honest, when I see the state of it these days.
Reply via Email🎧 Empros – Russian Circles
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.

🎬 A Girl Named Willow

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.
🎬 The Nice Guys

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.
🎬 A Clockwork Orange

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.
🎧 The Shape Of Fluidity – Dool
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.

Wrote a few words about the upcoming end of Glitch project hosting and missed opportunities. Then wrote way more words about a few specific personal projects that got their start there.

🎧 AMENRA "Roads" (written by Portishead) – AMENRA
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.
