  • Programming

    Computer science is giving me headaches. Reflection and regular expressions. Argh! I could just as well hand-code machine code instead. 👨‍💻

  • Running

    After a (needed and deserved) rest day I ran again 9 km. While the highway was rather busy, where I 🏃 there was little traffic.

  • I drew this many many years ago, and it still cracks me up.

  • Running

    I did a run-walk-run of 20 km, 16 km 🏃 and 4 km🚶🏼Afterwards I had to stretch to relieve the muscle soreness. I took a snapshot every 5 km, where ever I was.

  • I see people leave Facebook, WhatsApp, and similar because they hate they idea of being tracked. However, tracking is done at the backend, using the web and third parties as sources, not only in the apps. In short, whatever you do on the Internet will somehow be tracked.

  • Binge watching season 4, final apparently, of Castlevania on Netflix. It came out here today.

    Two things I know little to nothing about, religion and rap. Or is that latter one wrap? Who’s to say in their righteous rapturing reasonless mind? WIP 🎨 pixel art for the subreddit Sketch Daily.

    I could feel this was the 5th4th consecutive day of 🏃 This is when some need motivation to continue. Nature wasn’t helping either, with several hissing geese with chicks I had to give a wide berth, which is amusing, considering I was running around a body of water.

  • If I breathe air, which I do, does that imply I’m an “air enthusiast”? If I create art (express myself) does that make me an “artist”? I find this need to categorize and organize puzzling; it feels like being judged and objectified by others. How simple the world must be for it.

  • Cats

    They found the critter themselves. I suspect it has some kind of self-defense, like a strange smell or high-pitched sound. Since the felines weren’t serious about eating it, I threw it into a jar and then in the great outdoors (backyard). 🐱

  • Running

    With 17 ℃ it was a bit tougher to 🏃 coming from Winter temperatures. Still, I somehow managed to run an hour.

  • I’m rewatching Star Trek Discovery 📺 on Netflix, outside the US. Skipping season 1 and FF through the scenes with Ash and the Klingons. Even so, there are lots of plot holes covered by technobabble and wooden acting, as usual for a science fiction series for general audiences.

    Today’s 🏃 contained slaloming 🐌 🐌 a dilapidated fortress guarded by lots of geese in the court, and goslings with mama goose hissing at me. So, the usual 😊
