Bumbling through the technosphere. Easily amused.

Messing around with #FOSS, baking #bread, paddling a whitewater #kayak, and #parenting a herd of kids . Sometimes I manage a Hello World without syntax errors in #python.

Professionally, I help to build and run #trains with software and IT stuff.

Middle-aged cishet white guy, trying not to be an asshole about it. Please let me know if I get it wrong.

Toots auto-delete after 2 weeks. #noindex or I will punch you.

Ok, Hochwasser ist irgendwie doof. Aber meine -Buddies überlegen gerade, welchen Bach sie zuerst fahren sollen, weil er endlich mal wieder Wasser hat… 🙃

Eigentlich hab ich gerade zwei Kajaks zu verkaufen.

Aber es fühlt sich ein bisschen pietätlos an, die jetzt bei Kleinanzeigen mit Standort "Oberbayern" reinzusetzen...

I’m growing mushrooms in the basement!

Success on the first attempt. This is so exciting!

Hey USians, the French have taken note of the sport you call “football”.

They think it’s weaksauce.

Ok, stereotypes are silly, but what if, in this French village, the most visible business actually is the wine merchant?

And the pharmacy across from the town hall has a big poster in the window on addressing erectile dysfunction?

Vacation mode ON

Microsoft´s Outlook really needs a bulk edit function for calendar events.

I´m spending a quarter of an hour cancelling individual meetings ahead of my vacation.

Here´s a free user story for the Outlook team:

As an Outlook calendar user
I want to be able to select events across a given timeframe and respond to all of them with a single action
so that I can cancel all appointments during my vacation.

Seeing this, it just struck me that SAFe is probably the last method you’d want to use for building safety critical software.

(I’m happy to be corrected though)

Oh cool, Xing hat eine Stelle für mich!🤩

This report is a) quite unsurprising, and b) an excellent case for approaching Tesla cars only with a mask and a flamethrower.

Am Bahnhof: "Der Zug um 17:15 fährt heute nicht auf Gleis 2 ab, sondern auf Gleis 8"

>> alle hetzen zu Gleis 8, und quetschen sich in den Zug

>> Durchsage: "Der 17:15-Zug ist gerade aus Gleis 2 abgefahren. Wir fahren um 17:45." 🤬

A question for people in Paris:

We´ll be on a family vacation in France in the 2nd half of May, and are pondering whether to visit Paris.

Are there any important limitations due to the preparation for the Olympics? Major sights blocked off, or anything like that? Lots of security hassle?

We´ll be travelling with children, so we´re trying to avoid long queues etc.

I watched Windows95man´s #Eurovision video a few times ahead of the contest. But the actual performance is even more spectacular - go watch it!

It´s an absolute triumph of choreography 🤣🤣🤣

Hey fellow men in traditional family constellations:

Have you taken over house work and care work from your partner for #mothersday ?

Great! Now keep it up the other 364 days of the year. 💪

Apparent Jack Dorsey did or said something. I‘d just like to remark:

Fuck that guy.
