Spent a wonderful evening with friends. And I love the scenic view of Bad Ems. Still not sure if I prefer the calm days in winter or the busier days, with all the tourists.
microposts
We have lost the middle ground with so many topics. Currently, it feels like there are only extremes. People behave like everything is a binary topic — black or white, true or false, … It weighs heavily on me and costs so much energy.

Off to Bielefeld. First business trip this year. This time I took an IC 2. Not bad, even though it is not as comfortable as an ICE.
micro.blog is such a wonderful service. First time I feel really at home with a blogging service. The backend is not as polished as some others, but I can achieve all the tweaking of themes and so on in a way I understand. Pragmatic > polished.
My friend Michael. Nicholas wrote such a warm and wonderful article about Michael Foord who has passed away this weekend. An article filled with warm words of friendship. I only met Michael once many years ago, but I remember this meeting and the conversation until today. It was one of if these meetings, that you remember your whole life. I am sad.
Plan for this weekend. Apply the finishing touches to django-tailwind-cli to support Tailwind CSS version 3 and 4. So far the test suite works without errors. The docs need some love now.
My micro.blog got a now page. I love the idea created by Derek Sivers. It adds a convenient way to show what you are up to at the moment. Way more personal than social media posts.

This is a rather typical image from my home office. While I work, my beloved cat is sleeping in the crook of my arm. 🐾🎧 #CatLife #WorkFromHomeVibes
I took my Switch out of the cupboard again and decided to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild once more. I really like the style of this game. And I need something less violent and less bloody than the stuff on my Xbox.
I joined pixelfed. Not sure, what to do with it yet. I am by no means a great photographer. More like a motivated dilettante. But it is cool to try a new service. And it seems as the feed can be consumed, and the pictures can be posted here too.
Pretty happy how everything works in this micro.blog. The only thing I have to make up my mind about is, whether I want to use automatic cross posting or not. But the backup to github doesn’t seem to work at all. Not sure what I did wrong about it.
