Welcome to the Thoughts section of my blog. Thoughts are better kept on my blog than on Twitter or other online platforms.


My current multi-phone strategy

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

Reply to: A comment by Jerry

I also have multiple phones (a Pixel and an iPhone), and when reading about others who use multiple phones I'm always curious: how do you handle data and phone numbers? Do you have a sim card that you move around, do you have multiple sims, or do you use one phone as your "main" phone and then use wi-fi or hotspot using the others when you need to?I've personally enjoyed having two phones, and since I do dev work on both it's nice to keep up with both OSes, but juggling is sometimes a struggl…

In response to a question a commenter named Jerry asked, I want to briefly explain my multi-phone strategy.

A bike ride to reset

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

After a tough last weekend, a little cold, and bad weather, I was really exhausted and not in the best mood this week. But I knew the weather would be great on Friday, so I planned a bike tour. A 47-kilometer round trip north where there aren’t many hills.

My first passkeys implementation 🔑

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

Something I wanted to implement already for a long time, but always seemed too complicated for the occasional programming session here or there, was support for WebAuthn or Passkeys for GoBlog. I noted it down two years ago and also already started to work on the implementation, but never got around to finish it.

On removing content

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

A weekend with my family

This past weekend, I visited my family in the south of Germany. I wasn’t there for quite some time. On one day, we went to Biel in Switzerland, walking through the Taubenloch (“pigeonhole”, a canyon right next to the city) and sitting on a boat that took us across Lake Biel. It was quite picturesque.

Catching COVID-19

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

So far, I had been spared from COVID-19. “Had,” focusing on the past, because now it has affected me, or us, after all. We had to cut short our vacation, which I used to share little glimpses of here on the blog. We quickly went back home, wearing masks the whole time and hoping not to infect more people.
