I wonder if it is possible to add custom JS into the Web Apps you can create in the new MacOS. Could not try it myself yet as I have not yet updated.

Does anybody know?

/automation /coding

@V_ I’m interested in this as well. Additionally I’d love to be able to add my own menubar items (Electron apps often lack these).

A photo of a concrete pillar with two dark red curtains next to it. A bright green AED device hangs in the middle and to the right of the pillar. The concrete has a cut and polished look and you see the exposed aggregate in it.

A photo I took on our tour of the new work office. I like the contrast of the different materials with the bright green of the AED device.

 

I watched Daniel Greene’s three-hour-long video about the TV show Fringe. It triggered a lot of memories again. My wife and I watched this show when we were younger and still living in our first flat.

⤑ Why FRINGE is Scifi’s Forgotten MASTERPIECE! 🧬.

And Wow, is this show amazing – and it does hold up quite well from today’s viewpoint: multiple storylines and ongoing plots.

I’m surprised by how dark the storylines are – I don’t remember seeing the behavior of Walden Bishop as horrendous as it was. When I watched the series, I never reflected on his behavior and what his research meant for the participants, who did not consent to it and frankly would be unable to give informed consent.

One of the points I liked about this show was that it reminded me a lot of Alias (2001), which is next to Heroes (2006), also one of the earliest I remember of Science Fiction shows done with an overarching plot.

@V_ I haven’t seen this but I’m going to track it down. I really liked Fringe when it aired.

A selfie under a tree with a river in the background. I’m wearing my sunglasses. And a violet polo shirt.

Selfie time :-). Picture from today sitting under a tree next to the river. This was on my way back from the swimming pool. I’ve enjoyed the later September sun for a bit.

 

The first time 📝

The first time was at the mall. I looked at someone and felt I was getting sucked into their brain. It was after a long phase of migraines – the first day I could go out again. And in hindsight, I should have known not to go out so soon. But I was out of food and could no longer stand staying in the flat.

I’m glad my daughter is feeling better again, however now we are at the point were she should get back to normal but still wants to lie in bed.

 

Attacked 📝

With a start, I woke up – somebody in pain. I look around my train compartment, not seeing much in the darkness of the night. I blink once and take a deep breath – like I’ve trained myself to do. It does not help that the panic in my mind does not want to reside. I lay back and close my eyes, “one breath after another, come on, Noura, you can do it,” I scold myself.

Ever since I posted the mbsept picture for the panic prompt I wanted to try my hand at some stop motion animation. Today I finally did it.

@V_ Cool! ???? Poor apple-head! ????

@odd No apple-head (I like this name) and snake was hurt in making this movie. This was of course all acting. They usually go for a drink after work together ;-)

Watched Ponyherz with my daughter yesterday at the cinema. It is a German children film. I like the story and the main cast. The story follows the usually patterns but I think it was very well executed. And I was happy to go to the cinema with my daughter for the first time.

Sketch of A stick figure with long hair. On top of the figure is a row of different hats. The figure is wearing a triangle hat (like a Merlin hat). From left to right, we have A baseball cap, a cylinder, a triangle hat, a strange hat looking like Marge's hair (from the Simpsons), and finally, a fool's hat. At the bottom is the text “I HAVE MULTIPLE HATS.”

My insight of this week: I have multiple hats at work and should not mix them up. However the same is true in general as well. Nobody only wears one hat all the time.

/doodles

@V_ True. Speaking of hats, I’d love to have a bowler hat!

Summer is officially over here, the outdoor pool closed its doors last week. So now I am back to swimming in the smaller indoor pool.

One positive thing about the shorter lanes is that I can swim for longer, however, I’m still sad to be indoors.

 

Our daughter comes back from camp today. The week alone at home felt strange and somehow also cool. However, it was strange to not know what she is up too.

 

Finally found the time to watch Barbie – wow that was a rollercoaster of a movie.

Nearly walked out again within the first then minutes of the movie. But glad I did not do it. Need to do some analysis what triggered me so much at the beginning.

I can’t say I loved the movie but I certainly liked the overall experience. And the story.

 

On my way to the city. Date Night with my wife. Good food and cinema afterward. It was ages ago that we did this.

 

I just realised it now that we had 9/11 yesterday. There was a lot wrong in the world before that date. But for me it marks the moment when the world changed and terrorism got real.

 

Trying to compile my morning pages into a single formatted document to print and bind them as a book. It is a lot more manual work than I expected. And so far I found not god way to get page references with the actual page – would need to use Latex or switch to Word for final styling instead of Pages.

Darkness outside – darkness inside. They walk from early morning until late at night. Searching for a new home. Or a place to rest for the night. Young and old, walking away from their past. I’m not sure they will ever find the sunshine again.

Just realised that I’ve now one month at my new job. Lots to do and lots to learn.

@V_ Being completely new at a place can be a little overwhelming, but I love the feeling when you start thinking this is the place for me now. Best of luck for a fruitful experience!

by odd on

@odd yep, and we also just had a big release as well. So there was a lot more to do as well.
