“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.

Simple Truths About Personal Websites

Nobody knows you.

You are not entitled to anyone’s attention.

Be respectful, be helpful, be kind.

Your personal website isn’t a replacement for social media. It’s much more than that.

Who is your site for?

Document your life.

Your perspective matters.

Capture your thoughts.

Share what makes you lean forward.

Use RSS.

You never know what sticks.

Make it easy to publish.

Enjoy the process.

The adverb is not your friend.

Typography is everything.

You will surprise yourself.

You will grow.

Be curious. Be intentional.

This is your playground. Play.

Your canvas is limitless.

Sell the world.

Hit publish.

It’s yours.

📄 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

Movie poster for “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

TIL: Real-time Collaboration for Jupyter Notebooks

Jochen Wersdörfer 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:

  1. Visual Studio Code's "Live Share" extension
  2. 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?

🎬 Old

Movie poster for “Old”.

I found this a little kitschy at times. And the subject matter couldhave been explored more deeply in my opinion. But otherwise an enjoyablemovie with an interesting idea and good execution.

🎬 Prince of Darkness

Movie poster for “Prince of Darkness”.

I like Carpenter-films. This one is no exception. From the atmosphere tothe soundtrack to how it’s made: all top-notch. Where it’s a bit lackingfor me, is the story itself and the action. It didn’t captivate me asmuch as his other films did. And I don’t know why that is. Maybe I wassimply a little too tired when I watched this.
