First asparagus dinner of the season. Can’t complain except someone wasn’t peeling them properly which was a bit of a problem. (That someone was me, obviously.) Went to have a quick planespotting evening with my cousin, which ended up...
Sleep review, lunch break nap April 14th, 2026: 8/10, too short, otherwise no notes. Reply by email
Sleep review, April 13th to April 14th, 2026 (Remember the last time when I said I should write these when the sleep is good? Well, lol. I guess it’s like how I only update dominik.ist when I feel like complaining. How very German of me....
A short and rather quiet week. Helping out my coworkers in their project was a very welcome change of pace at work. The allergies came back with a vengeance after I ran around all Easter weekend, telling everybody that I think the worst...
I was watching the Artemis II flyby last night. So of course I am rather tired today. I really like dashboards – I’ve been looking at the one for Artemis II by Canadian Space and it is rather fancy. Now I want my own for whatever kind of...
I hope you had a good Easter weekend, mine was very relaxed indeed. Today a (very) short little “hike” with the family, a bit of picnic, an early return home and a long nap with wide open windows with the birds singing, I can’t...
A little family trip to Strasbourg crowned a week that was otherwise similarly mundane as the last couple of them. The city is well worth a visit, it’s very pretty indeed. I started reading a Japanese whodunnit on Saturday which so far...

The constant urge to keep a grievances.md file while knowing fully well that this would be extremely silly. Reply by email
So, it’s already Monday and here are my notes for last week: Nothing to report, carry on. I know this is a bit boring to read. At the moment my brain seems to be in the same mode as my Wallabag installation, (which I did manage to get...
Three K-pop(-ish) songs I enjoyed recently: Hypnotize by XG, Catch Catch by Yena and Bang Bang by Ive. Reply by email
Not much to report on this week. It was mostly cold and rainy, I got lost in Captain of Industry (yes, again. No, I don’t learn from past mistakes) and rewatched the first season of True Detective. I almost bought something online and...
I often wake up with a random song as an earworm – and now I note them down for your enjoyment. This morning it was Entre Dos Tierras by Héroes del Silencio Reply by email
I’m thinking a lot about adding a blogroll lately. I’m considering everything from a simple list to a full-blown reader experience. My WordPress installation is old enough to still have the Links Manager, so I might just use that. Reply...
It is allergy season, fuck yeah. So while I spend both days of the weekend outside (which was nice, don’t get me wrong. We even had sun!) I immediately crashed on the couch when I came back, defeated by the battle that my body is trying...
