We punctilious filled each gap between the igloo’s snow block to make it nice and sturdy.
Added a tower to my Igloo today.
I love the new widget feature in iOS 14. It should have been there a lot sooner.
Igloo.
Sometimes I need to suppress my smarty-pants side ;-) But at times, I don’t want to.
We got more snow today - so calm. And it looks like it’s staying.
Protohistorians have an exciting job – puzzling out about a culture without having any written documents from them. Just be researching the output of other culture’s history research.
On my way to the office for the first time in more than two months. Feels strange.
Why is it so complicated to find an USB Type C dock which only needs one port of the host has at least three USB Type-C ports and one or two USB Type-A ports? And an Ethernet port.
I don’t need Display connectors or audio interfaces just USB ports. I’ve found one by OWC today, but it is over 100$ and has only one additional USB-C port.
Review of Scholar of Magic (Art of the Adept Book 3)
I just finished reading Scholar of Magic (Art of the Adept Book 3) (English Edition) by Michael G. Manning.📚
Looking out of the window: Big snowflakes are falling from the sky. The snow brings a tactful mood to the day, hiding the ugliness of the world. I love these moments of silently falling snow.
More snow!
The beat started slow and got steadily louder and faster. Now everybody is enraptured by it and dancing to the beat. The light is flashing in sync, and the party night will never be over.
I leave my books usually unannotated as I don’t appreciate writing in books.
Feeling stupid right now just spend an hour writing down my solution to setup a UIScrollView with content having dynamic content height.
My solution used multiple subclasses and set height constraints manually. The right answer: use the content hugging policy on the child view.
Strange human
Designing a CPU you can actually still build with discrete elements and has a useful set of capabilities is quite complex project. And a significant trade-off between features and complexity. Just adding one register more makes it much more complicated than I expected.
At home, Hans’s first action is to take a shower – cold only, washing all the dirt and grime of his journey away. It was quite a change for him from long steaming showers to short cold ones. But after some time, you get used to it, and it is still better than no shower at all.
I just started reading Disciple of War (Art of the Adept Book 4) (English Edition) by Michael G. Manning.📚
I tried fries with strawberry jam today and tried to convince my daughter to try it again. Her comment: “Dad, you need to take a Covid Test; I’m sure you’re taste buds are broken” – I was speechless! I think that was her first time using sarcasm against myself in an authentic way.
Having searched all of the buildings, Hans prepares to travel back home. This journey was a success when not in the way he planned it initially. At least Hans found some items to sell or barter with. He soon will need to start another journey to find the answers he is seeking.
Such an fascinating mechanism!

There were also some books for sophisticated people – nothing of value today; although the images were lovely to look at, the books were too heavy to haul back.
The world looks a lot more cheerful when everything is covered in snow.
Snow
Finally some snow here!
Life is a lot more relaxing I you try not to continually overreact to all the bad news happening in the world.
Under the bathmat, in the first house of the village, Hans finds gold. A loose floorboard is hiding a bottle of rum and a box of ammunition. He has no use for both, but they will fetch quite a lot on the market back home.
The dancers are moving with the rhythm of the music. I stand next to it, too timid to join in, but my feet start tapping with the rhythm anyway. The beat gets faster, my feet tap stronger, and my arm and hand join as well. There is a moment I nearly stand up and join. But it is over as soon as it was there, and I keep observing.
@V_ Nice! I remember making those as a kid in the seventies. We had a lot of snow back then. ❄️☃️

@odd l just never stopped building then :-) It's unusual to have so much snow here, so I need to use the chance I got. The last time there was enough snow, was three or four years past.
