A quick note: I am moving to a new hosting partner. In case there are any dropouts, please stay tuned. We are working on it.

So far email accounts have been transferred, all .de domains are already on the new server and transfer for all international domains has been started, but still needs a while to be complete for whatever reason. The deployment chains have been edited and all websites are already deployed to the new server.

I hope that the rest won’t need too long to avoid downtimes, but in case you experience a few hickups, then you know why.

Big shoutout to Mittwald for their fantastic support and seamless tools which make the move as easy as possible. More about that at a later point.

Setting up for #craftandwork, the event @keirwhitaker runs in London today.

Luckily I started my journey to London early. First train to take is already 20 minutes late. Re-organising connections. 🤷‍♂️ #trauerspiel #db

Not sure if anyone likes Primus (the band) and/or did follow their open call for a new drummer. Man, I loved everything about it. That a band, well connected in their scene, is openly looking for a new drummer. That a guy was picked, that maybe wasn't the most virtuous of all of them, but fitted from his whole attitude and style (and great playing of course). That it was not someone who used to play in another well-known band, but someone who could not believe that he is riding this now. 🤘

Does anyone know how to get rid of those annoying “Sign in with Google" popups? Using Firefox, latest version. Thanks for help.

What I said about the talks recently (https://mastodon.social/@marcthiele/115214661395485984) counts for the amount of published #btconf #videos of the #talks also. 😳

So far email has been transferred, all .de domains are already on the new server and transfer for all international domains has been started. The deployment chains have been edited and all websites (podcast, band, #btconf …) are on the new servers.

In case you experience a few hickups, then you know why. But sorry in advance!

I am moving to a new hosting partner. After 26 years. Things you don‘t need, when preparing an event, but necessary when you are forced to use software you don‘t want to use and even pay much more money for it. In case you expect problems with our site, please bare with me.

It's not all machine knitting around here! Last week I took a screen printing class at NYC Resistor, a lovely hackerspace in Brooklyn. It was their first time teaching this class, and fittingly they taught a screen printing technique that was new to me! We were asked to brin...

As mentioned in my first-hat and forbidden socks posts my Brother KH-930e knitting machine was unable to knit two-color Fair Isle patterning due to two cam buttons being stuck together. I didn't really know where to start with figuring this out. I remember doing some se...

“I’m not writing it down to remember it later, I’m writing it down to remember it now.” The famed Field Notes tagline is all very well but what if, even having written it down, you fail to remember it? Quasi-disaster ensues, if you’re me. As usual, the culprit is past me not...

After reading – and enjoying a delicious coffee – I let my feet take me where they wanted to go. At the intersection of two roads on the Royal Mile – the heart of Old Town in Edinburgh – I turned my head right and thought about how long it had been since I had walked down the...

Today is a good day, I think, to make little guys.

Pattern from Machine Knitting Monthly Oct 2025, which calls for spider legs, but I think the “little guy”-ness is correct without them.

My experience of the tool in which I write blog posts – Typora – is functionally the same as it was when I started using the tool several years ago. Typora starts as it always does since I set it up: as a blank page, ready for me to start writing. There have been many update...

More leaves and trees are turning from green to orange. On a walk earlier today, I looked around with awe as I noticed more leaves are turning yellow and red and orange. I even saw one tree that is almost entirely red! In spring, the tree blossoms a delightful pink; in autumn...

Before I reveal the story foreshadowed in my post about machine knitting some first hats, a digression. One of my main goals with machine knitting is to be comfortable enough with the machine and techniques required to make custom two-color patterns with AYAB. To that end, I...

When you install a PWA on iOS (and iPadOS) via “Add to Home Screen”, you can make the status bar – i.e. the area at the top around the notch/dynamic island – transparent yet blurry (so that you can still read its infos like the time or battery status).

RSS readers mostly 1 work by "polling" web feeds to retrieve posts. At a specified interval, the server will try to download every feed to which a user is subscribed, and add any new posts to the database. These posts are then displayed in a user's reader. Building a web rea...

Actually not bad at all. Good action, and a terrifying crocodile, surprisingly brutal. Has suspense too. Entertaining little Aussie movie.

Beautiful! The pictures, the soundtrack, the story, Hunter. The (quite long, but never boring) ending, where they tell their stories and motivations, separated by a one-way window is just great. I did not cry, I swear!
