Raindrop

The autumn rains are here. I have been looking forward to a bit of rain. There is something delightfully cosy about sitting inside reading or writing or watching television while the rain falls outside. And, rain means the opportunity for rainbows. This week, I have seen at l...

Creating a searchable archive page

One of the pages I use most on my website is the page that lists the titles of all of my blog posts. I made this page for two reasons: (i) for quick reference to all of my recent posts beyond those on my home page, and (ii) so that I can search the page by post title. I often...

🎬 28 Days Later

While this might have a little bit of shitty digital quality, I think otherwise this really holds up well and is a great entertaining zombie film. The story is great, the characters and the acting is there, the infected are menacing, the action is good. And it just has a lot of great scenes. Was again looking forward to that blood-drops-in-the-eye shot.

🎬 Final Destination Bloodlines

Haven't seen a movie from this franchise in a long time. Do I like the CGI-to-the-max? No. But otherwise, it's actually pretty entertaining with great humour. Death has once again packed a fine assortment of Rube Goldberg death machines and bloody butterfly effects.

📖 Ein Hirsch, ein Virus und ein Baby – Nils Wittrock

Wie auch sein erstes Buch, mochte ich dieses zweite auch sehr gerne. Ein, zwei Kapitel waren mir etwas zu ausschweifend, aber ansonsten ein kurzweiliges Buch, das interessante Einblicke in das Leben einen Independent-Musikers gibt im Speziellen zur Corona-Pandemie-Zeit und bei gleichzeitigem Familienzuwachs.

@tilmn Kannst Du Dir bei Gelegenheit mal https://digital-garden-git-feature-theme-toggle-innovention.vercel.app/ anschauen? Sollte jetzt funktionieren mit System-Theme als Default, so wie Du Dir das gestern vorgestellt hast. Finde die Idee gut.

really-enjoy-the-time-when-all

I really enjoy the time when all the software on my servers - the OS, the Tailscale client, Docker, all the self-hosted stuff I'm running - is up to date. What a bliss, those 30 seconds.
