It’s been an incredible journey at Protocol Labs, and more recently at the Interplanetary Shipyard. However, I feel like it’s finally time for a change for me. ⭐️ J … | Continue reading
April is now in the past, albeit with some consequences for the future. In comparison with previous months, it wasn’t very eventful and that is maybe a consequence of how much I read this month. I didn’t really have a lot of time for other things. Let’s take a look. 🍄 Lif … | Continue reading
The maximum temperature today - which means now - is around 24C and clear skies ☀️. I just got the not so unexpected urge to write something about biking.

At the beginning of last month, someone tried to steal my bike. They almost managed to cut through the chain lock completely.

Some weeks ago, I read a post from Jan-Luka’s where he talked about what to do with his new domain. The most interesting part for me was not what to do with the domain, or the domain itself, but what the domain is: a numeronym. After further reading what a numeronym is on Wikiped … | Continue reading

A selection of four photos from a recent trip to München. In the park, I played a bit with a long exposure, to create the soft waterfall effect.

Over the past days, my partner and I did a small trip to Vienna - and also Bratislava. This post is not going to be about the trip and the cities themselves, but about the transport to and from Vienna: the Nightjet.

This here came with some interesting surprises. Not only … | Continue reading
Since a few months ago, my website has a dark theme. So today I decided to casually open a PR to the darktheme.club website. On this PR, it is asked what mechanism is used to enable the dark mode. I selected JavaScript. It is unfortunate, but it is a reality. Why is prefers-color … | Continue reading
