I wonder if there are any tools for the mac to hide the file system from your customers when sharing your desktop. When working on projects for multiple customers, I need to hide such information. I was thinking about a software solution, but also, a process solution could be possible. I had one idea to create a user account per customer – but that does not feel efficient.

Top two things you don’t want to happen when attending a funeral: people losing consciousness and people losing consciousness and falling over walls, so you need to call an ambulance.

 
I finally found a suitable replacement for my old juggling balls. The only issue was that the smallest quantity available was a pack of 15 balls oO.

🍿 Dune Movie 2021

On Thursday, I went to the cinema for the first time since 2019 (this is longer than I expected). I’ve watched Dune. I’m still not clear if I liked the movie or not. Technically the movie is well done and has amazing visuals. But something in the movie is bugging me. I can’t quite voice what it is. One aspect I struggle with is the speed of the storytelling. The movie is long, but at times it felt too slow.

Just found out that Dropbox now offers a password manager. I feel tempted to switch, but first, I need to investigate it some more. But it would reduce one tool out of my setup. And I need to update my old pa manager at some point anyway.

@V_ Has it something to do with Chinese astrology? Soldering SMC’s sounds a bit tricky, but if you have a great iron it might be less so?

@odd it did not come with instruction from the homepage I assumed it is some sort of zodiac sign selector. But I many bought it to have some components to solder. On the backside, it also has some random chips which are not connected at all :-)

Slowly I look at the parts of the incinerator in front of me; this is the fifth of them I’ve taken apart in this week. I’m fed up with them right now. Somehow we seem to have a systematic failure in this batch – and they only got installed two months ago.

But I’m not surprised I’ve told my boss multiple times we need the hyperreactor brand of incinerators. And not the cheap oneabees from the other company – I won’t mention their name. They have not earned it. But nobody wants to listen to the lovely bald maintenance guy from the basement. I just need to run and keep them running.

Actually, I should be happy that they break so often – it gives me an easy job – but why the hell do they constantly break in the middle of the night? They at least could have the decency to only break during office hours!
