I finally made some prints again. Needing a present is always a good motivator.
I probably do not do this so often, because it’s time consuming getting everything ready, and I don’t always have the motivation for it, and/or the bathroom is not unoccupied early enough.
Producing a print by hand is so satisfying, though.
Both images are in the April photo journal entry.

🎬 Barbarian

“Hello, I’m a Mac.” “And I’m an incest underground monster woman with supernatural strength and I will push in your eyeballs and crack your head open like a raw egg.” „Eh….hehe… Do you know iWork?“
Quite a movie. I didn‘t find it 100% convincing and it lost a bit of suspense after a while. But not a shabby horror movie. And I liked the camera work and the acting.

📄 No AVIF for now
After contemplating about responsive images - especially for my photo journal - I had a look at my current approach and whether it makes sense to add image variants in AVIF format to the mix. And my current answer to this is “no”.
🎬 Videodrome
I enjoyed the general theme of this film, but somehow it didn’t reallygrab me for some reason. Maybe I was just too tired that evening.
Visually this was fantastic, though: especially those kind of specialeffects.
I should probably watch this again at some point.

TIL: Real-time Collaboration for Jupyter Notebooks
Jochen Wersdörfer While preparing a screencast with Manuel, we searched for real-time collaboration tools for Jupyter notebooks. JetBrains' "Code With Me" proved unsuitable, displaying only raw JSON. Here are two practical alternatives:
- Visual Studio Code's "Live Share" extension
-
Launching JupyterLab server like this:
jupyter-lab --collaborative
If you're aware of other collaboration tools for Jupyter notebooks suited for screencasts, please drop me a note 😄!

📄 Contemplating the usefulness of responsive images
With smartphones getting bigger and screen resolutions becoming ever more dense, is it still feasible to serve a whole bunch of different image sizes on a photo sharing web site?
