Reflecting on my work

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

I have been a full-time software developer for over a year now. I’ve since settled in well in the job, and I’m getting along better and better, even if the topics are sometimes still quite complex and difficult to understand, especially when it comes to “historically grown” things.

My thoughts on and motivation behind GoBlog reactions

Published on in ✍️ Posts

Yesterday I announced a spontaneously developed GoBlog feature, reactions. The post also got a lot of reactions, over 900 times the buttons were pressed. But I also got some comments.

Happy Easter!

I think spring is my favorite season. It’s neither cold nor too hot. Sometimes the weather is very nice and you can discover the green nature.

Not only Telegram implements new features, I spontaneously had an idea and a bit of programming desire. As an optional feature GoBlog now offers “reactions”. I don’t think I need to explain this feature, just try it out on this post. 😉

Telegram is now a super-app?

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

It seems that there is a new super-app: Telegram. Bots can now also use HTML5 and JavaScript and thus “replace websites”.

After the repair, I am really excited about my pedelec. The battery significantly increases the range of a “small” bike ride and allows me to visit many beautiful places in the vicinity of my hometown Braunschweig and enjoy the nature.

To kick off my few days of Easter vacation, I took my freshly inspected and repaired pedelec (e-bike) with beautiful weather (20 degrees and sun) and drove a round on the “Ringgleis”, a bike path around my city. The total mileage has now also finally reached the 3000 km. That’s still not much over several years, but I still have my second, non-electric bike, with which I probably ride a lot more.

Why blog at all? (and indieblog.page)

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

What a coincidence: I was just thinking about why I blog at all, when I saw a post from Andreas Gohr in my feed reader with the announcement of indieblog.page. Cool site to discover blogs!

The first two nights with my new weighted blanket were good! The blanket is very cozy but not sweaty. The weight is not oppressive, but just right, and also makes me feel somehow more tired than usual before I sleep, and then let me fall asleep almost immediately, as if flipping a switch. And somehow I seem to dream much less, which can be a positive sign for more deep sleep.
