Observing (lots of) color. Sent out an email to the fine people, who subscribed to the newsletter, to tell them how to order the first 366 zine. At the time of this post, I received orders from Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Lithuania, Canada and the US. 😱 This is so cool! You all made my day! Thank you. πŸ™

Observing shadows (while waiting for my connecting train at Duisburg main station). Took this on my way to the Kirby Community NRW Meetup organized by Benedict and Chris from Present Progressive. Thanks, guys! Impressive talk by Georg Obermayr about what he and his team built with Kirby. In other news: I ordered the project 366 part I zines today! Thanks again to the eight people who ordered a copy! ❀️

We had a great weekend with the family. Took the photos above, while waiting for our train at Heidelberg main station. Now posting this from the train, which was on time. (Not kidding! I hope I didn't jinx the rest of the trip, now that I've said it. πŸ™ˆ) The WordPress drama keeps intensifying by the day. I fear that the damage done will affect the community for years to come. What a shame.

Another Gruga visit. Feeding the goats at the petting zoo. Almost missed today's post, because I was working away on improving my WordPress to Kirby export plugin. I think I am ready to move my other blog over to Kirby as well, so I need to make some changes that will cover regular pages as well as different post formats. It's coming along nicely. I hope I'll be able to release an updated – and much improved – version of the plugin soon.

What a strange day. I feel kind of anxious. Didn't dare to open Mastodon (which is the only social media I consume). I'll just share a link to this post and that's it. The feeling of anxiety is probably compounded by the fact that I won't see my kids for two days, because – and this, on the other hand, is a very happy occastion – I made my way to Berlin to once more document beyond tellerrand, which will happen tomorrow and the day after. (There are still tickets available!) Anyways, the hotel is very pink.

This is Ferdi. He played some Johnny Cash and Elvis and had a great voice, too. From our short conversation I learned that this is how he earns his living. In these situtations I always try to stop and listen for a couple of minutes (if I like the music). This makes it less awkward for other people to also stop and listen. 😊

In Frankfurt with Claudio for our end-of-year Haptiq meet-up. It is no secret that I am very apprehensive when it comes to LLMs. However, earlier today Claudio showed me some very cool stuff, he has built with the help of – his almost namesake – Claude. So I caved in and created an account to try it myself. 🫣 I mean, it surely can help with simple tasks, no? So: The alt text for the image above was created entirely by Claude and I think, it did an amazing job.
