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

This is amazing. It sets me back to my teenager years and my early twenties

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.
Feeling stressed :-(
I just finished reading Not Till We Are Lost (Bobiverse Book 5) by Dennis E. Taylor.📚

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.

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.

On my way home :-(
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.
I just started reading Careless People: The explosive memoir that Meta doesn't want you to read by Sarah Wynn-Williams.📚

Love this post by Annie.

Just stumbled over this creator today and this video is really helpful. Just seeing how somebody else uses the process.
The atmosphere in the concert venue is infectious :-)

Found the location of the concert.
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.

On my way to London :-)
My holidays are over, now back to work :-)
