The Captains Blog
Its amazing for how long humanity has photography and for how long we are actually able to produce good looking photographic documentation of what we do. Today I looked at some old Photos from Chernobyl and although mostly in black and white, although not all of them, they have more detail and resolution than the photos that I have from my childhood that were made with some Ipod touch or Samsung…
As I wrote in one of my last blog entries I am moving places. While I live in our old place for some weeks until my work contract terminates my girlfriend already lives in our new place where we moved all our belongings to. This means more or less I am camping in an empty flat. The plan is simple: As soon as I am done at my old job I move out. To make this simple I have only as many things left in…
In the last months, when watching YouTube on my phone for example while cooking I noticed that the advertisements I was shown contained a high amount of advertisements not from the usual big companies but from some local businesses that all were basically some kind of PowerPoint presentation with a bit more animation and some background music. On one hand it is kinda cool that YouTube is actually…
Hello there! A bit more time has passed again since I posted my last Life update here on my blog. A bunch of things happened since then and I think generally things are moving in the right direction even if there is still much to do before the whole situation of moving places in the midst of everyday life and my existing job. When I posted last I didn’t yet quit my old job because I didn’t have…
Recently I quit my Medium Membership. I tried Medium because I liked the Idea of having something that could replace my timehungry habit of watching youtube videos about things I like with reading about those things. The concept in itself mostly works, but I really dont get warmed up to the algorithm medium uses to serve you its content. Maybe its because when reading something you are more…
One or two posts earlier I wrote about the weird feeling of Progress and uncertainty I felt as I went the first steps to move to a new city and start into a new job there. Now this post is already kinda old and a lot has happened in the meantime. I not only sent my job applications, but also had an interview at a potential new place to work and an informal confirmation that I would get that job.…
I have a raspberry pi with the standard raspberry pi OS on it. I use this peace of Hardware basically as an office and email device for when i come home in the evening and just have to do some quick organizational stuff, check work mails, document work hours and so on. Over the last half year or so this device took over more and more of the tasks I used to use my macbook for before I got the…
Spring is coming back and it brings change! Last week I felt spring coming. For the first time temperatures crept up to levels actually comfortable, not just bearable, outside. As with every year spring is a time of change. You see nature come back to life, you yourself feel kind of revitalized and full of energy to tackle new goals or old goals you just had on the backburner for some time now.…
Ahoi Landrats! This is my new blog! Moving in is always exiting. The first night in an empty flat before you fill it with both old and new furniture gives you this feeling of adventure and seeing this empty blog template kinda does feel similar. So to fill it with some old stuff before coming up with new things and thoughts, Ill just recount how I got to create this blog. It all started when I…
