Eagle-eyes visitors of this blog might have noticed that I have different colors here every year. I might or might not have used colors that a certain company deems to be the color of the year.
Alas, that color of the year for 2026 is **white**. I can’t do […]

Here we go, the final week of the year.
As I pondered already all the way back in June I wasn’t near any family on Christmas for the first time ever. Instead I was near a beach with friends, having BBQ at a resort while a band played Modern Talking cover songs […]

This was a week of a lot of travel and not much sleep. I was in Köln and had a great dinner with _da boys_ (sans Dino-Dominik, sadly) and just now I had a phở on a little plastic chair next to a busy intersection in the middle of Saigon. Fantastic end to a very weird week.

Sleep review, December 14th to December 15th 2025: (Note to self: Don’t only write these when something was wrong.)
What a weird one. I woke up three times from strange nightmares. This morning I still feel well rested. I don’t understand.

The end of the year is rapidly approaching.
As expected this week was a bit busy, but I think I’m more or less on track with my tasks. Still more busy days ahead. (Of course it didn’t help _at all_ that instead of doing anything useful I looked into POI […]

Another week done. No, I haven’t gotten all the Christmas gifts, yet, so next week will be a bit busy.
Besides this, not much to tell. I finally managed to cut together a few clips from our family hiking weekend in October and I was a bit weirded out by how much […]

Sleep Review, November 1st to November 2nd, 2025: Don’t even ask. _Turns out_ that eating two little satsumas (or maybe mandarin oranges? Who knows, they label all of them as those and I don’t really know the differences.) just before going to bed give the body enough to do to keep it from […]

Another of these _liminal_ weeks. There’s a lot of stuff I’d usually get pretty excited about and yet, what I mostly notice is the fall weather. Oh well.
At least I went to the Christmas Markets in Basel already. Cleverly enough I had so much food at my sister’s […]

Sleep Review, November 25th to to 26th, 2025: Weird, as it has been the last few nights. On paper more than enough sleep, my _body_ feels pretty awake and rested.
But oh boy, am I having a lot of weird dreams lately. Not nightmares, really. Not really dreams I can remember after waking up. But […]

How do you nice people reading my blog handle your Github account(s)?

Another calm-ish week. It’s dark, grey and cold as Novembers tend to be. The result is that my brain went into a weird waiting mode even though I should probably be starting to think about Christmas and finding some gifts. It’s just a few weeks away now.

I’m slightly sorry that you got a bunch of my old posts if you are following this blog via ActivityPub/Mastodon/… – I was just moving them to a different category and it seems like that was deemed worthy of an update by the ActivityPub plugin.

Two weeks into the SailNavSim Jules Verne Trophy the field starts to spread out. Something tells me I’ll not be in the very front once the race ends.

You know what? I didn’t even take out the garbage.
(As in: put the bin out. I took the garbage from my flat to the bin and the bin is still empty enough to wait for another circle.)
I’m not even sure what to think about this week.

Haha, it was week 45.
For once I’d be quite happy with a boring, normal week in which I have nothing to talk about. Maybe next week? The most exciting entry on my calendar for next week is a reminder to take out the garbage.

Remember back in the day when I talked about SailNavSim? For some reason I started playing it again last week and lo and behold, the guy who runs the game has opened an around-the-world race starting next Sunday. Luckily without the anxiety-inducing “celestial navigation” mode, so hey, why not […]

What a good week – I mostly spent it right next to a pretty lake or overlooking it. Having a lot of pizza and pasta and more Aperol Spritz, Limoncello Spritz, Peroni and Ichnusa than I can count. (To be honest: counting got a bit complicated after a while.)
