5 black coffees, oily food, and NetBeans with 15 subprojects open making me fume and waste time staring into an IDE that has its GUI thread stuck. All that resulted in my stressed body to be stuck on the toilet twice or thrice, i lost count even. Meanwhile having missed an opportunity to have lunch with a friend at work, and also eager to meet again with another colleague, and also wanting to spen... » Continue Reading
Now again in a taxi, after spending a night at an old friend's place. Good to see her again and it's neat to see that she's doing well. It was also refreshing to stay in a stranger ergonomic apartment, to wake up to clear sky sunrise shining straight at me, and to gather myself with my stuff efficiently to leave shower and set off for work. Cute how they live, several employed software developers ... » Continue Reading
The previous blog post ( Soap in PKP Intercity trains is quite salty ), while finished when still on the train, has been left with my inability to immediately publish it because networkmanager didn't like WPA2-PSK again. I ended up trying to grab html as qr code, then gzip of it as qr code, then finally managed to display a base64 of a gzip of it as a qr code but then i grabbed the netbook by the ... » Continue Reading
Salty that soap is. Never thought I'd learn this. But there I was, desperately needing to. Brush teeth. The taxi driver was wholesome in how he noticed my run and offered to ride fast, and he did; I pre-set the tip well outright - with no doubt I want to -, and it was lovely to see the taxi there once I got to train door. I took a private leave at 3pm already but still ended up, at 5:30, almost ex... » Continue Reading
Again in the train. Back in the trains. I am again in a train. Home. For less than a day. By UTC, or even by the winter time, or simply ‘before the sun sets again’, i am to be in a train again; after work, finishing early, I go to meet up with my team members, then stay the night and see with them in the office. Leaves me one, two if I’m lucky, days to meet with an old friend, who’s in town I home... » Continue Reading
Saturday So, I am to pack today. But I woke up at 2am from a nap that i was taking for this friends meet-up that was in the evening, it was still happening but now i end up doomed to get sleepy later, about the time that my quasipartner will wake up probably. And while she’s still sleep I don’t feel like trying to get to sort my stuff from the drawers and in the box. Once I’m back, I have decided ... » Continue Reading
Again at the hackerspace. Ongoing week feels like long now again. My mind defaulting to a spectre of old times' guilttripping over not spending time with my flatmate quasigf. Almost considering getting back on the move, but I know that I have noted previously that I'm about to miss out if I do and contrary to the momentary impression I guess it is still helpful that I'm there. I am still socially ... » Continue Reading
The friend who was to stay the nights for the conference ended up getting a hostel stay reimbursed when it became clear I intend to make it so that my flatmate quasigf would be forced to host them herself for the first day. The fwb from Berlin was underestanding of me maybe not coming because of being overwhelmed - that fit well with it turning out it would be good if I stayed longer, for the week... » Continue Reading
The whole concept of staying here was supposed to be about resting. About the kind of rest that’s all about feeling free to stop wherever the stress becomes too much. That worked for a day or two. I turned out to first have an issue with the main lighting fixture being configured to an unbright decorative RGB function, as I got reminded how much I need to have proper warm white bright light when i... » Continue Reading
If you're a user of methylphenidate and I'm staying with you, i might be looking at it and calculate my chances. ADHD meds. Interpersonally awful, eh? This post will lay out your reasons. I'm not advocating that you do, and I would never want to morally pressure you into doing so! Now that is a blog post that i wanted to write about twenty minutes ago and by now i am seeing it retrospectively as a... » Continue Reading
Gotta go to the hackerspace and fetch some of my stuff. After I shower maybe. But why do I really default to sitting there afterwards, and why did I when I was still regularly around The way I have been to hackerspaces was never about being actually directly enabled and empowered. I have gotten into friendships and relationships that tied me to them, and that's how I was getting into frequenting t... » Continue Reading
