March 2021
Today went not as planned. I hope tomorrow will work out better. Definitely too many meetings today.
For the first time in many years, I managed to fill out my taxes on time OO – happy.
An open source game about learning Git
⤑ Oh My Git!.

Having a notebook is only part of the task; getting the thoughts out of these books into a usable format for further processing takes a lot of time and energy. I’m also now not yet sure if I do this most optimal – time will tell.
Unfortunately, there is no automatic way to convert my handwriting into text ;-) At least I have not found anything yet.
Time for the next notebook. When I started this, I was worried because the pages had not grid, but this was no problem at all.
Obstacle course — fallen trees on the forest path.
I read this post last week, but somehow, it is still in my mind.
Little by little, the whole country is returning to “business as usual”, as they say. And the first real indication that normality is on the horizon for the US was a recent story out of Arkansas.
Excited to be the 904th 😎 on @BackerKit for Ctrl+Alt+Del 2.0 Comic Book Collections. Thanks @TimCAD.
Todays piano lesson was a success. I’m starting to learn something ;-)
Tree ark in the sun.
A “Tea-Rex” drawn by my wife.
Meeting preparation — tea for 2 hours, I hope.

Review of The Garden Of Love And Peri: A Post-Apocalyptic Pandemic Adventure
I just finished reading The Garden Of Love And Peril (The Last Book 2) by Bruce W. Perry.📚
Hopefully a new an better home for my piano notes.
Finally found a source on how to achieve this drawing style.
A dive into graphics algorithms used in RoughJS - A graphics library that lets you draw in a sketchy, hand-drawn-like, style.
⤑ How to emulate hand-drawn shapes / Algorithms behind RoughJS.
Dome hand-drawn stick figures. I like the bottom right the best.
A dark fog is rising from the river. It is fast-moving and covers a lot of the river border already. In front of it, he sees many critters fleeing the fog. And this looks like a good option for him as well now. He does not want to be eaten by a dark fog today.
Review of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Harry Potter 4)
I just finished listening Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Harry Potter 4) by J.K. Rowling.📚
I definitely had not enough sleep last night. Early bed for me today. And I’m finally done with work. Now we have some order in our issue board – not perfect yet but better than before. And I can put my project manager hat into the corner tomorrow and hopefully code a bit ;-)
Progress on the stick figure generator from the weekend. Now it just needs more variance in the body parts.
Today is a meeting day oO. So much to do right presently.
Review of Small Gods: (Discworld Novel 13)
I just finished reading Small Gods: (Discworld Novel 13) (Discworld series) by Sir Terry Pratchett.📚
There are many gods on the Discworld. And due to this, there is much competition between the big and small gods out there. And it is quite crucial in which form you manifest in the physical world to gather believers. Because without believers, a god is nothing.
Not every idea needs to be monetized.
Adjusted the stick figures generator to add names and ground for the figures.
Review of The Last: A Post-Apocalyptic Pandemic Adventure
I just finished reading The Last: A Post-Apocalyptic Pandemic Adventure by Bruce W. Perry.📚
I hate it when the computer does not work as it should. Lost nearly an hour of my workday today – first Slack did crash and would not start anymore, and then Docker would not start anymore after I rebooted the computer :-(
Alien stick figure family
I just started reading The Garden Of Love And Peril (The Last Book 2) by Bruce W. Perry.📚
Craft project from my daughter. A cat made out of yarn.
Review of Witch's Jewel (Kit Melbourne Book 1)
I just finished reading Witch’s Jewel (Kit Melbourne Book 1) by Kater Cheek.📚
Kit Melbourne is a young artist struggling to meets ends and working part-time in her brother’s cafe. Her recently deceased uncle left her a mysterious bindi, with the instruction to not sell it.
The boy had an uncouth aura – ready to start yelling and hollering at any moment.
Weekend project - A stick figure generator
Signs of Spring. A random flower on the forest ground.
He’s sitting at the table, listlessly pushing his shrimp from one side to the other. Missing the comradeliness of a nice meal with friends.
I just started reading The Last: A Post-Apocalyptic Pandemic Adventure by Bruce W. Perry.📚
Action scene (A drawing of a person jumping out of a train)
I think I felt the weather change today – I had dry and hurting eyes the whole day yesterday and major headaches today. But now that the rain is here, it finally got better.
Today’s word Joyrider – reminds me of the first-ever Album I’ve received as a child, a cassette from Roxette. Joyride was not my favorite song of it, but I still remember listening to the song many times and trying to make sense of the lyrics ;-)
