mastodon 4.7.3Developer and Team Lead located in Wiesbaden, Germany
I started my professional IT career with Microsoft Access 1.1., at a time when most people disabled JavaScript, because it seems to be too dangerous to them. I believed the opposite, after my first experience over Excalibur ... and look at the Web today ... Damn, I was right. 😌
Today I'm only an IT manager. Hopefully a good one...

✍️ I Love Bubbles
Bringing the IndieWeb and the Fediverse together
Any new way of interconnecting websites and users on the IndieWeb is not only welcome but also vital for a stable counterbalance to Big Tech’s shitty walled gardens. Yesterday I stumbled across a really good and new one, that integrates also the Fediverse: #Bubbles from @viermalbe@troet.cafe

As I wrote recently, I Love Bubbles. The new blog post aggregator (based on the RSS feeds of a curated list of blogs) has become part of my morning routine: making coffee, browsing my blogroll, opening Bubbles, and discovering new posts from blogs I’ve never heard of before — though that’s about to change ;)

Long story short: I've created a new Mentions United plugin for #Bubbles

🎸 Versengold, Wiesbaden @ 2026-04-09
Eingenordet Tour @ Schlachthof
It was time to see Versengold again… and for the first time in my hometown of Wiesbaden. It’s great when it only takes a 10-minute bus ride to see your favorite band.

✍️ Stickers
... and a whole lot of nonsense
I’m 57 and currently hooked on stickers, and AI isn’t entirely innocent in this, combined with a bit of a guilty conscience - but it’s a lot of fun.
I recently “retired” my old business laptop after just two short years, with a battery life of 28 minutes after a full charge, and somehow I felt sorry, because the best thing about that otherwise junk of a Dell laptop was the lid with the stickers (see header image). ...
📷 Blooming Velmede
The mother of my sunshine has a beautiful garden behind her house, right by the river Ruhr, which her son tends with great passion. There are quite a few gorgeous flowers in bloom at the moment and it’s simply lovely. I had to made some photos, even with my crappy smartphone. Here are a few shots. Enjoy.

✍️ Junited 2026
A month of sharing blog posts
Back in the day, there were only hunters and gatherers, and I would certainly have been in the latter group. Collecting things is satisfying.
This month, I’ll be collecting links to blog posts as part of Robert’s Junited 2026 campaign on this page. Keep an eye on it …
🔗 Is AI Profitable Yet?
I’ve been asking myself for a while now, with all the hype surrounding AI, who’s supposed to pay for all the money being thrown into this technological meat grinder… or rather, when the enthusiastic managers will realize that it’s them. So every fanboy deserves a look at this website …
RE: @netzpolitik_feed@chaos.social
An excellent description of the state of an internet that is rotting away at an ever-increasing pace, in which our knowledge is vanishing (in German)
🗒️ Well, for you it's enough
This 20 minute video, I found today, illustrates impressively why AI and above all Generative AI is nothing more than worthless.
The original (and best version) is in German, but the translation in English (YT AI?) does the job…

To me, my sweetheart is a phenomenon. With two needles and an indefinite amount of wool in various colours, she whips up all sorts of little marvels at a speed that would take me just to get my fingers back in order.

📷 Belated May
Start of a new season at Thomas Garden
This year, I was late getting started with taking photos in Thomas’ garden. Whereas I’m usually out and about as early as March, I only managed to take the first pictures of his extraordinary plants this weekend, and I’ve probably missed the early bloomers this year.

✍️ Integration of the Byline Feed Extension
Lately, there’s been a lot of buzz in my tech bubble about good old RSS/Atom feeds. Not only are people rediscovering them and making them available on their blogs, but new services are also popping up around this 30-year-old technology. It’s just so wonderfully independent and fits the trend of moving away from increasingly terrible platforms at the protocol level and returning to the free, open internet. ...

🤘 Linkin Park, Hamburg @ 2026-06-03
From Zero World Tour
It’s been 25 years since I first heard Chester Bennington growling into a microphone, and ever since then I’ve been a fan of both hard rock and crossover. My goodness, what gems these guys from Linkin Park delivered in the 2000s. “Crawling” isn’t just on my all-time best playlist, but I can sing along to it at any time (or so I like to think ;)
