Perks of having Belgian friends.
Just printed a case for one half of my Ferris Sweep keyboard. Very happy with it. It was printed using flexible filament so it fits snugly. Printing the second half tomorrow.
I’m only now getting into 3D printing. There is something almost magical about seeing objects taking shape in front of my eyes.
For a while I tried using OneNote for note-taking and even task tracking, as the company I work for is on Office 365.
It didn’t work for me.
I am back to org-mode and org-roam. By hooking up a Raspberry Pi to my iPad, I can even use Emacs there via a terminal client.
After 21 years in Portugal I finally traded in my Norwegian driver’s license for a Portuguese one (the old one was valid here, but renewal will be a much simpler process now). Next step is to consider becoming a citizen as Norwegian laws now allow for dual citizenship.

Unexpected side effect of today’s challenge, it made me want to watch Babette’s Feast again.

Watering my coding roots by building a ray tracer in C++. Also lets me tinker with my Emacs setup. I am using the clang compiler, and LSP-mode hooked up to clangd. Nice to be coding again.

☕ monday
💻 When all else fails, there is always tinkering with my Emacs config file.
Thanks to @maique, I am now also helgeg@omg.lol
It took a long time, but I finally caught Covid. I’ve had fever and a sore throat for a few days, but it seems to be easing up now.
I was recently in Munich, and in the old olympic village (now student residences) I had the best Dürüm wrap I have ever tasted. They even made the flatbread from scratch.

Today I learned about Nonviolent Communication. Time to read up on it, it seems like a useful technique.
Going to Munich on Sunday. Mostly work, but I hope to find time for a visit to the Tollwood festival.
Not how I intend to wear my new G-Shock, but here it is on my wrist next to the Apple Watch.
Just ordered my first G-Shock watch.

I started watching “Matrix Resurrection” yesterday, and must admit I am enjoying it so far. Fun fact (for me): early in the film, Trinity’s husband “Chad” appears. The role is played by Chad Stahelski, who was doing stunts for Keanu Reeves in the original trilogy, and is now the director of the John Wick movies.
Many years ago I was on an organized motorcycle trip in the alps, and Chad Stahelski was one of the other participants. He had just finished working on “V for Vendetta”, where (if I remember correctly) he was a stunt coordinator.

Today I will switch countries. Going to Germany for the week.

Billboard facing the Russian embassy in Lisbon. Powerful image.
Everything is connected.
The war in Ukraine is causing supply shortages, and the main plant of the company I work for has had to shut down production.
This is nothing compared to what is happening in the Ukraine, but it shows how quickly consequences spread.
If you were into computer music making in the 90s, you probably know trackers. There now is a super cool device called the m8. It is expensive and on backorder, but with a Teensy 4.1 microcontroller, you can build one for around 30 euro, and use a computer for display and input. Hello next project.
