What a legend. And not just for the swimming.

I gamle dage var Christiania-anhængernes beslag et stykke af et gammelt bildæk skåret ud i passende form, mener jeg. Kan dog ikke lige finde nogen billeder.

Jeg har efterhånden været på en del togferier i Europa: München, for mange år siden, da de tyske tog var mere pålidelige end i dag - vi kørte hele vejen på en dag - som Thomas også anbefaler ville jeg ikke gøre det i dag. Både fordi jeg er for gammel til det og fordi man lige så godt kan lade turen være en del af ferien selv og slippe stresset med at skulle nå flere skift. Bruxelles og Koblenz, også mange år siden - to af målene for en togferie primært i Tyskland. Björkliden helt i nord i Sverige (lige så langt væk som Milano!) for den del år siden - vi tog nattoget fra Stockholm til Kiruna, det fungerede godt dengang. Bergen - med overnatning i Oslo på vejen, for at komme til Hurtigruten. Schweiz - overnatning i Göttingen (hvor Gauss er begravet) på vejen og tog-rundtur i Schweiz (med overnatninger undervejs) fra Basel til Zermatt (Glacier Express!), Andermatt, St. Moritz og tilbage til Basel igen. Tog i Schweiz levede op til ryet. Leipzig og Dresden - her valgte vi også en overnatning på vejen, på hjemturen var det i Hamburg, jeg har glemt hvor det var på udturen. Vi skulle skifte i Berlin og var noget bekymrede da vores tog var en time forsinket. Det tog vi skulle videre med var tilsvarende forsinket, så det gik op - men var lidt mere nervepirrende ønskværdigt, så planlæg - som Thomas anbefaler - med rigelig tid til togskift! Jeg har aldrig prøvet at få et rejsebureau til at planlægge for mig - det har altid været togselskabernes (primært DBs) og hotellernes websites jeg har brugt. Jeg har i øvrigt heller aldrig orket at sætte mig ordentlig ind i alle de forskellige typer billetter og rabatter og interrail-halløj. Jeg har sikkert snydt mig selv for en mindre formue. I det mindste har jeg ikke sat mig i et fly for sjov. Nåja, så vil jeg anbefale ikke at sammenligne med priser på flybilletter. Verden er deprimerende skævreden - og hvis undskyldningen for at flyve på ferie er prisen, så er svaret at blive hjemme og spare det hele.

You could say it is an edge case! I will see myself out.

Weirdly, you can just turn it on again (so far, anyway)!

Good thing you didn't call it "nag".

WANKING INFRASTRUCTURE: when somebody decides that to automate this process, a whole new bunch of systems and tools need to be installed, configured, and put into production, and so much time is spent on this, that no work is done solving the actual business problems.

Dobbeltmoral er dobbeltliberalt...

The "Information" and "Observation" boxes do not change when I type something in the "Text" box.

It works for me now in Firefox - cheers!

I really like using C-x 8 RET in Emacs to write unicode characters that I don't remember a short keystroke for.

C-x 8 e i and C-x 8 e l are nice for adding emojis.

I have not found an easy way to type a flag, given the country name (code or tld). Is there one?

Maybe C-x 8 e f could prompt for a country name/code/tld and insert the appropriate flag emoji?

C-x 8 f gree TAB to enter 🇬🇱, for instance.

You'll have to look far and wide to find a more #1990's #music video than the one for "Volcano Girls" by #Veruca Salt.

That guitar playing - what a song.

This #backupfriday is what in Sweden is called a "klämdag" - a work day squeezed in between two days off; following the example of the Swedes I took the day off.

In non news, nothing has happened on the fiber side since the week they got half way down the street. We will see if it ever reaches my building.

It's #backupfriday and I just collected a package with some 10 Gb network gear - it is a bit early as the installers only finished the cable trays in the building this week, and there is still some digging to be done until the building is fiber-connected, and after that my apartment has to be connected as well... Unfortunately the access point I ordered is advertised as having at 10 Gb ethernet port, but on the box it says it only has 2.5 Gb, so I'll likely have to return it. If you have any recommendations for #wifi accesspoints that have #10 GbE, I'm all ears. Do I need my local network to be 10 Gb ethernet when I am upgrading from the venerable copper connection, currently yielding at whopping 40 Mb down and 10 Mb up, to fiber? You're right, I don't. But since one of the ISPs is advertising 5 Gb over the fiber and as I am upgrading (/able to upgrade) for the first time in 10-15 years, why not try how the maximum speed feels? I don't want the LAN to be the bottleneck, so 10 Gb it is.

On this #backupfriday you're getting a view from the inside of the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway - showing the impressive organ pipes and the huge round stained glass window:

And then there was the astounding success of Itanium...

Also: npm and GitHub.

What happened to discoverability? Couldn't it have been greyed out (and showed a tooltip explaining why on hover)?
