Speaking Man

First time since a very long time in a coffee bar here in the biggest city near my home town. Nice background music and with a new book in my pocket. Maybe I should do this more often.

The last weeks I tried to find kind of a hobby besides all the IT and programming I normally do. Turns out that I really like welding. It shares the same principles I also like about my day to day doing: creating, repairing, creativity. But with other materials and a result you can really touch.

I just compiled my reading list for the winter holiday season. Looks like I need a better compression algorithm…😅

Just shopped a yearly subscription for blinkist.com. I‘m curious how this works out and if I can add it to my routine.

Planning my next hike…exciting. I always like to choose and adjust my trip equipment.

Uh, just found my old aeropress. Didn’t know I missed it. First coffee with this old friend was quite delicious ☕️😋🤤

I can „speak“ many different programming languages but I mostly fail at real spoken languages. I always want to speak another foreign language next to english. So this will be one of my next challenges.

I still can‘t form a habit for writing more often. But I keep trying…

Phew. Today is update time for all of my self-hosted stuff. Exciting but as always not without some fear

I’ve been trying out nostr for the last few days, which isn’t as complicated as I first thought. It’s fun and technically interesting.

I finally get serious with my side project idea. So exciting 🚀

Got lots of things done in my first week at work after a longer vacation. This proves I had a good rest and brain reset

After some intense work I was on summer vacation. I always struggle to rest right from the beginning but in the end I get a good recovery. Only in the first few days am I pursued from work.

Yesterday I met with former co-founders. Again, super interesting topics that we have talked about. Hope we manage to repeat this regularly.

Spent the last weeks getting back into mobile App development. Went away from it 4 years ago. Still love it and missed it I now know.

My reading list grows exponentially lately. I need to work on that and try to better focus and organize my reading times. But there are so many interesting things out there…

Half a year has already passed. Time ist running fast. Looks like I need to adjust my speed 😀

Being more interested in photography lately. First shoots were made. Let’s see how it’s going.

There is so much to find out and setup for myself after installing MarsEdit. I like that the interface stays clean but has all what you want at hand if you need it. Great App, much recommend.

Normally I’m the remote working guy and love it but yesterday we had an awesome in person cooking event with all the colleagues. I really liked to spend time with them.

Everytime I explore new technologies it feels like an Indiana Jones Movie

There is so much to learn, discover and to try out every day. It’s not easy to focus on one thing at a Time.

The last days I played with Ulysses and MarsEdit to find out which one I like more. I really like them both equally but for different use cases. Seems I need to define my workflow first or just use both in parallel 😄

Last weekend I finally managed to do some things on my new Mac Mini. After basically 2 years of only Linux usage it feels quite different but I didn’t forget everything about MacOS. The setup for mouse and monitor sharing was easier then expected.
