We have great April weather over here. Yesterday sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, hail, sun, hail, sun, rain, etc. It didnât hail today, but sun alternatd with rain a bunch of times. Went out this evening and boy, what an absolutely gorgeous scenery!
I took advantage of the last sunny, but also 25°C hot day and hiked in the woods. It was so much more pleasant in the forest than out in the sun. The wind could have been a long stronger with that heat. I was completely soaked.
At one point I thought I better grab my camera out of my backpack, so whenever something comes up, Iâm ready. But I was too lazy and thought, well, I just wait until there is a nice subject and keep going instead. No joke, ten meters further I came across two squirrels. A red and a brown one, sitting on a tree at just one and three meters height two meters away from me. If I only had unpacked my bloody cam a few seconds ago! I just watched them sit on the tree and then tried to slowly strip my backpack and grad the cam. It was still booting up when they decided it was enough sitting around and climbed higher. What a silly move on my end, damn.
I tried to improvise some Lyse Street View, but felt really uncomfortable to photograph other peopleâs houses. Somehow my cam produced sooo many blurred shots on the way up still away from the village, itâs unbelievable. I scrapped nearly the entire project. Only very few survived. There were heaps of people on the mountain summit, so I quickly left again.

Looking forward to next weekâs rain and temperature drop to 16°C or even 8°C.
Hmm, three war helicopters clattered past today. It was (and still is) very sunny and thereâs just a little wind. The 21°C sun on the back felt pleasant. In the forest we encountered two dead mice on the paths, they might have been dropped by birds. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-04-12/
Just a few minutes into my walk I saw a raven chopping up a slow worm in three parts. :-( I rescued the reptile as best as what you can call rescue in that state. Crazy how the the tail and middle part kept on twisting hard for minutes. I didnât see where the raven went hiding, so I can only hope it did not reattack after the slow worm went its way and I left the scene.
The small forest pond was covered in pollen, looked like a liming truck went by. And the other one with the duck was really oily. Way more than last time. Didnât look healthy at all. :-(
We had 11°C and a lot of wind today. I left the house at beautiful sunshine to go into the woods. I had to shelter from the rain under a coniferous tree right away for 10-15 minutes or so.
Many puddles had plenty of spawn in them. Some of the super tiny tadpoles already hatched. Unfortunately, none of them will probably make it, because all those puddles will all dry up in the next one or two months I reckon. Letâs hope for the best, though.
A bird landed in the trees about 30 meters away from me and it appeared to be a larger one, like a buzzard. Only at home at the screen I then saw that it was just a pidgeon. :-)
A bit later, there was a chaffinch happily singing and picking on the forest road. I could close in to about five meters before it flew half a meter further and continued. So I made a few steps, too. That game continued for over five minutes, before it then decided to relocate four meters higher onto a branch to let me pass by beneath. Pretty cool!
More basement:
I completely forgot that DVD-RAM was a thing once. Found my old disks and they still work. đ€Ż The data on them is from 2008, so theyâre not that old. Still impressive.
The disks are two-sided. On the photo, that particular side of the disk on the left appears to be completely unused. đ€
And then I read on Wikipedia that DVD-RAMs arenât produced anymore at all today. Huh.
(I refuse to tag this as âretrocomputingâ. Read/write DVDs that you can use just like a harddisk, thanks to UDF, are still ânew and fancyâ in my book. đ)
I was so hyped when I found this box in the basement! đ€Żđ€Żđ€Ż
Only to find out, that âŠ
⊠itâs something else. đ

hi @prologic@twtxt.net , did something happen to the AP sync from twtxt.net ? My âlast tootsâ seen on mastodon seem quite outdatedâŠ
Exactly 10 years ago Kokoriâs first release on vinyl was out - and we celebrated with a release party in one of the afternoons of the Entremuralhas festival.
Ten years later, weâre back attending the festival, and this time we see one of the stands selling our latest release, rootkit, on CD! âĄ
I hate reading translations. Hereâs an example why: the same passage of the English and the Portuguese translation of the same (French) book. Not just the length of the passage shows one of the translations wasnât faithful, the behavior of the character in one version is the opposite than how he behaves on the other versionâŠ
Got a nice hand this weekend!
