Teymur asked me, probably hoping for some kind of automation. Alas, there is none. And still, here is my “workflow” for my link blog. Step 1: Input I find articles, links, etc. all over the place. Many of them come through Mastodon and...
Last night I played around with some infrastructure as code for my (too many) little side projects and I finally made it work. Sometimes it’s weird little gotchas and the decision not to overengineer everything more than necessary....
You know how I notice that I don’t have good nap/sleep hygiene lately? I just realised I called my last weeknotes post “Nap Hygiene” because I wanted to mention my bad sleeping patterns during that week and completely forgot about it...
I went to a photowalk in Basel this weekend – the folks there and me did some calculations, it had been two years since the last one, which feels long. It has been fun and we’ll do it more often in the near future, I guess.(Related:...
I often wake up with a random song as an earworm – and now I note them down for your enjoyment. This morning it was It’s That Time by Marlon Hoffstadt aka DJ Daddy Trance Reply by email
Same week as the week before. Still in this weird float state. At least today I managed to drag myself out of the house with a camera in my hand, which was helpful. Drowning out the voices in my head with a rewatch of The Wire, which is...

If I’m completely honest, I’d really like to be one of those people who build little dioramas in H0 scale. I just know I’m not even remotely patient enough for that. Reply by email
The first “normal” work week of the year and I immediately fall back into the same old pattern. Wake up, shower, coffee, work, lunch, nap, work, nap, dinner, waste time, sleep. Great, great, great.I picked my sister up at the airport and...
Oh, the first 24h race of the year is this weekend. The Dubai one is a bit more obscure but I still quite enjoy watching the 24H Series races. Reply by email
Oh, the post-vacation blues hits me hard this time. Of course it doesn’t help that going from 35°C to (up to) -10°C is quite a jump. I had to travel for work right away after coming home and while during that time only my nose...
I managed to reach the finish line in 4th place. Only 20 days after the winner! Reply by email
I often wake up with a random song as an earworm – and now I note them down for your enjoyment. This morning it was Sailor, Sail On by Atarashii Gakko! Reply by email
The last three episodes of Roderick On The Line (607: Buffalo Sober, 608: Texting Bitch Face and 609: A Mule with a Checkbook) work great as a trilogy. The conversations and thought technologies in them are good examples why I love this...
A few things as long as they’re still fresh in my mind: Labubus are still everywhere in Bangkok. It felt like every mall had a Pop Mart experience and there were long queues in front of all of them. The Peak Design travel backpack is...
