Our daughter cooked the first family dinner today with assistance from me. It was fun showing her how to cook it.
We had Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce.
Finally finished my DIY keyboard the green push button toggles the play/pause function on the connected Mac. Feels good to be building something again (the image shows an Arduino Micro in a transparent plastic case connected to a push button. With a yellow “DIY” sticker on it).
Showed my daughter Xcode for the first time today. She wrote her first simple program with my help.
I had a strange day at work today. All the issues I wanted to work on I was somehow blocked due to open questions. Luckily I found something I could work on in the end.
That is a nice surprise (be warned it contains spoilers for the whole series). I did not see that twist coming at all.
I did some more experiments with stable diffusion today. This was the best result. Prompt “Create a single image about a liferay, Watercolor” Negative Prompt: text image mosaic (Seed: 348308, Scale: 7.5, Steps: 25, Img Width: 768, Img Height: 768, model_version: 1.5fp16)
The little one is getting bigger. We just installed an old iMac on her desk.
I built a tree house
I remember one of the best summers of my childhood. I’m no longer sure how old I was, but I certainly was older, and we still lived in the big rented home. We had a long weekend camp with our local nature-preserving organization when the summer holidays came to a close each year. I connect many memories of sitting around a fire and my father cooking risotto on the fire.We woke up to a white world. Finally we got some more snow again. It is not much but at least a bit.
It interesting how fast you fall back into pre children habits when they are away for half a day :-) Enjoy a lazy afternoon with food for the TV today :-)
Found a cool bug in my code today. Searched a long time for the source of it. In the end, it was a page transition happening to early. And I was looking in my server code for an hour oo
I’m rewatching the recordings of my piano training session from yesterday. It feels so strange seeing me play the piano. But what is nice is that I hear myself play and can focus on the music—something I can’t do while playing as I’m too focused.
My day was quite productive for that I woke up with an ugly headache this morning!
I’m glad about that.
Good Morning
DARK SPACES. A doodle about yesterday (shows a stick figure under a thick layer of clouds. The sun is on the left but barely visible). Luckily I’m feeling a lot better again now!
I lost so much time today because of an forgotten await my code.
Hungry for some Raclette.
Time to tinker with an Arduino. I am trying to create a custom media key keyboard.
Found this generator funny – be warned it is NSFW.
On my way back from the swimming pool managed 16 lanes.
Next time I should not forget half of my stuff at home.
Doodle of an airship
I’ve nearly got the day behind me. I was really struggling this afternoon. Just not enough sleep in the night.
But luckily, the stress phase should be over soon.
Another long day today. But it looks like I’m seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. And I have hope to meat my project deathline.
Looks like the new monitor position I’m using was not a good idea. Now I have more neck strain than ever :-(
Starting to feel tired, but my day I not yet over :-(
A doodle made from the teabag enclosure of the new tea I got for Christmas (Black Chai) which I love. It looks like a little creature and say: pepper and ginger. Next to it is smaller figure made out of the packaging of my favourite tea saying: Don’t forget me.
I made a list of all the newsletter I’m subscribed to today. The main reason is to understand how many subscriptions I have but also to track from which I get the best new ideas and notes.
I’m happy that my list is not to long, it only has eight entries as of now.
I finished reading A Shimmer of Magic: The Crystal Mages Trilogy book 1 by Jane Shand.📚
Yesterday I went to the swimming pool. Now I have sore muscles all over my body :-(
And I only managed 250m in one go. But perhaps if I had started a bit slower, I would have managed some more lanes.
