Entry for Aromantics Create Pride 2025

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;

“But I like it
“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.”
From: The Black Riders and Other Lines by Stephen Crane, 1895

Yesterday, me and Florian participated in a photo walk, organised by the new Fujifilm X-Den space here in Düsseldorf. One could try out their (newest) camera gear, and so I had took the chance to try the X half. Had a great time walking around the Altstadt, taking photos, and chatting with Florian, Lou and the friendly Fuji staff. → Florian’s post.

Just so much great riffing going on in this collection of fantastic songs. They have enough non-4/4-parts and tempo changes to make it interesting without making it hard to follow. There are some tasty guitar solos, too. “Drill the Skull” is my favourite, with this insanely awesome middle section.

This week, the second Homebrew Website Club Düsseldorf took place. This time, 5 people attended. After a round of introducing each other including website, we once more had a good chat about a variety of IndieWeb topics. And this time, we all did some coding, too. For example, Jochen made some commits to his django-indieweb project, Mark added some rel=me links and Microformats markup, and I fixed my Atom feed’s updated date to truly show the date they have been updated (which is quite relevant for example when sending WebSub notifications).

The next HWC DUS is scheduled for July 24th.

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.

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 ;)

You 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 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.

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!
