Kristian 🌒Too, xsnow has seen an upgrade today and I thoroughly wonder what it might be about. Also, briefly remembering the days when we used to write e-mails limited to plain text with at most 68 chars per line to include every kind of technology attached to this particular network and so much has changed ever since.
Still resisting sleep, might have (again?) discovered about the tildeverse. And even being not completely sure what's to this, it still reminds me of my very first web pages back in university days, with my ~login being the first anchor thrown out into that world next to the ever-loading Netscape spinner and pages keeping oddly defined typography centered on pages in front of 256 colour GIF background textures resembling seashores and sand. So much for nostalgia.

(Safe to say Jira and Confluence never really were tools sparking joy in daily work life, so it's surprising to say: Moving to the cloud variant of both has made this experience even less pleasant than it already used to be.)

Fan on medium speed today, more a habit than a need by now. Warmth of the office did retreat to just a couple of rooms and it gradually gets easier to move or think, again. Also, fitting random urgent issues into a packed stack of tasks. Wondering how much it will be able to pile up. The demotivating feeling of still spending energy on systems that are on its way out.

Overcoming legacy technology and embracing digital transformation [Q&A]
Legacy technology is quickly becoming the silent killer of business growth. With many IT leaders still relying on outdated systems, companies using legacy tech face mounting security risks, inefficiency, and spiralling costs.
Kristian(Vierte Herausforderung: Weiterziehen mit dem Nachmittag, wissend um die neuen alten offenen Enden. Viel verschoben, wenig vollbracht, immer noch nicht ansatzweise zufrieden mit sich, dem Tag, der Form. Durchatmen unter aufziehender Dämmerung. Noch immer im Schwung.)

Close to 5pm. Complexity and side effects and the challenges of managing changes required by other changes breaking things. Unpleasant realities. And a hazy sun.
(Too: Closing browser tabs the night left open. Unsure which random insights led into the murky world of old Unix derivatives and same as old VAX machines. The model doesn't know either. Maybe that odd nostalgia about technology being both advanced and still archaic, that roots in yesterday while increasingly overwhelmed by the new walls of todays tools and toys.)

Plötzlicher Kontextwechsel. Verbindungen herstellen noch im Heute zu dem, was erst Morgen wieder von Relevanz sein sollte. Sich an Zugangsdaten erinnern. Routen nachzuvollziehen versuchen. An unerwarteten Wänden scheitern. Und neue Prioritäten setzen, weil es der Augenblick erfordert.
