Britain did not do so well at the ESC yesterday, but I still liked that song the best. There where some other song which I liked: the French - loved the song and the visuals with the sand glass. And the Italian entry. Otherwise I was not so sure what was going on.

I’m looking forward to the English entry of the Eurovision Song Contest this evening. For once it’s a band I already know and like :-). It’s the only song I’ve heard so far.

A scenic landscape featuring a field of tall green grass under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, there are two trees, one smaller and supported by stakes, and the other larger with a wooden bench beside it. The bench is partially shaded by the larger tree, creating a tranquil, inviting spot to sit and enjoy the view. Fluffy white clouds are visible in the distance.

A place to rest. With a (very) small broadcast tower in the distance.

I finished season three the other day. I like how the series is developing. I’m still sad it does not follow the book as much but the managed to include some of my favourite scenes into this season.

Looks like I finally found the reason for the bug I was hunting for the last week. And by fixing it I uncovered another bug as well.

Two slices of whole-grain bread topped with avocado and egg mixture, garnished with sesame seeds and herbs. The bread is cut diagonally into triangles and placed on a blue plate, set on a light wood surface.

A beautiful avocado toast made by my daughter. Unfortunately not for me :-(.

The image shows two different boxes of Lipton tea side by side. The left box, labeled "What I Want," is Lipton Forest Fruit black tea with images of strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries on the packaging. The right box, labeled "What I Got," is Lipton Forest Fruits black tea with strawberries from France. Both boxes display 20 pyramid tea bags, but the packaging designs and fruit emphasis differ.

I fear that my favourite tea is no longer produced. Ordered the left on from Amazon – got delivered the right one. The right one is drinkable but it is not what I want and love :-(. And it is certainly not the same product.

A cardboard box containing three white rectangular packages situated above an orange power strip with multiple sockets. The power strip has a black plug and cord.

Bought some good multi-socket-outlets for each of our desk. Now I need to redo all the cables. Main feature of these is that power bricks don’t block the other outlets.

I like his argument of solving a problem once, never looked at it this way so far.

I realized that one of the best things about open source software is that you can solve a problem once and then you can slap an open source license on that solution and you will never have to solve that problem ever again, no matter who’s employing you in the future.

It’s a sneaky way of solving a problem permanently.

A selfish personal argument for releasing code as Open Source.

I’m sitting in Hyde Park in the Speakers Corner. It looks starkly different this morning from yesterday afternoon. There are no speakers here, only other tourists eating breakfast.

Arrived in London. And already filled my day for tomorrow by watching Hamilton 😍 and the Starkid concert in the evening.

Now I need to decide what to do on Sunday.

Liked it quite a lot, especially because it has a different pacing compared to other action movies.
