Say what you want about agentic coding, but thanks to the Zed editor paired with the MiniMax M2.5 model, I was finally able to build an application I've been dreaming about for as long as I have been using digiKam. It's a companion to digiKam (hence the name digiKampanion — because I'm very good at naming things)...
Today, I learned that my blog is on Bubbles. Normally, the fact that a random site &madsh; for reasons unknown — has picked up my blog wouldn’t excite me in the least. But a) Bubbles is actually pretty neat, and b) they do exercise editorial control. So I’m pretty pleased that my boring blog made the cut.
A while ago, I contacted Sindal Flight Club to inquire about its activities and perhaps joining it. I was about to give up hope of hearing back from them when, out of the blue, I got a reply thanking me for my interest and inviting me to an open house event on Sunday, April 12. The invitation promised an enticing...
This time it's a rather simple sketch running on my new favorite board — the ESP32-2432S028. It reads and displays a random line from the vocabulary.txt file on the SD card. I use it to brush up on my vocabulary. Auto-refresh is set to 120s, but it can be changed by editing the REFRESH_INTERVAL_MS variable in the...
I've been obsessing with weather from the very moment you returned to Denmark. And how could I not? The weather is so abysmal and unpredictable, it's hard not to be obsessed with it. Which probably explains why I've been spending most of my spare time on improving and tweaking Aerowetter. Besides a new color scheme...
Yesterday, I woke up in the morning and decided to build myself a Bongo Cat.
Last week, I biked to CNL twice, and both times I lucked out. First, I enjoyed watching and capturing a tiny Evector EV-97 EuroStar practicing touch-and-go, and during the second visit, I was lucky to catch a brand new Cirrus SR22.
Two things happened last Saturday: 1) I finally had idle time, 2) the weather was perfect for riding a bike. So at long last, I decided to check out Sindal Airport (CNL/EKSN). Actually, it's more like an airfield, but whatever.
Now that my TERMINAL-1090 station and 5G router sit in the attic, I don't have them in line of sight. Not a problem per se, but I wouldn't mind checking up on them every now and then, without taking an arduous trip from the living room to the attic. I know, the struggle is real. Since I don't need my Logitech S920...
Despite being super busy with practicalities of moving back to Denmark — unpacking, cleaning the house, and making it ours — I managed to spend a few hours working on TERMINAL-1090. I've implemented a couple of minor improvements to the Map page. Now aircraft without heading data are displayed as blue dots, and a...
On my way from Germany to our new home in Denmark, I spent a couple of hours in AMS, capturing airplanes. This was my last airplane photography session in the foreseeable future, so it was a bittersweet experience. I've never had much luck photographing in AMS, mostly due to the abysmal weather every time I was...
Ironically, after almost ten years in Germany and countless Brezen, I had the best one on my very last day in the country.
