It’s just the best feeling strolling to our small city’s center, the dog is in a good mood, I’m in a good mood. People are laughing. Walks like this are just the best. I don’t even mind the cold. 🐶

SideProject

Good that my side project is done in typescript. Since learning and using PHP everyday for my current job I really have forgotten a lot…

Walked with the dog 2km on a winter trail half an hour from home. Started around 15:30, it was already dark. My headlamp stopped working almost immediately. Thanks to the little flashlight on my phone, Napu and I were still able to walk the trail.

I don’t know why, but there is just something so comforting listening to TotalPartyKill’s Dark Sun campaign. The og actual play D&D podcast party that started in 2014 is still one of my favorites.

MicroMonday

For this week’s MicroMonday, I recommend that you follow writer and Buddhist @patrickrhone. I have followed him a long time and he still manages to remind me to be mindful, to stay grounded and at the same time connected to the modern world.

Does anybody have tips for good flannel shirts? I love the monochrome ones from Patagonia (this year they don’t have a model that is monochrome), but maybe someone has a brand they love that I don’t know about?

I graduated to the next bigger shirt size. Which also means that I need to invest in my wardrobe. There is just no hiding that fact anymore.

It was naive to think that the economic situation would not make a meaningful difference. I am prepared for a hard winter. But it might, it will get harder. As Ingeborg Bachmann so aptly said: “Es kommen härtere Tage” (There will be harder days).

twitterisgoinggreat.com finally took over the autocomplete spot of twitter itself. I’m not sad for twitter as a platform. It seemed like an attempt in solving an unsolvable moderation problem (that is: you can’t solve moderation, you can only manage it).

But it makes me sad and angry how employees are treated. I hate that we live in the era of the billionaire. And I feel weirdly proud of being a European citizen in which this shit could’ve never happened in this way.
