3pm and on. Small eyes, spinning head, blinking in a sudden warm light. Wondering why this particular window was left uncleaned, again, yet not feeling any particular motivation to change that right now. Sipping on lukewarm coffee, cautiously filing the ends to remain loose for now. Shaky fingers turning p... z428.micro.blog https://z428.micro.blog/2024/02/09/pm-and-on.html

Geschäftigkeit pausiert für den Mittag, später. Über dem Viertel hängt wieder der Klangteppich schwerer Maschinen, über den Giebeln der Nachbarschaft eine Ahnung von Sonne in dichtem Hellgrau. Hinter dem Viertel, den Bäumen, dem Park lassen sich die Hügel erahnen, die die Stadt umschließen, unten klappert ... z428.micro.blog https://z428.micro.blog/2024/02/09/geschftigkeit-pausiert-fr.html

It boils down to the usual learnings I guess: Do. Not. Trust. Streaming. Services. (And, on a lighter note: They're a tool to sell you easy access, to make you a certain set of "content" easily available at a given time. They're not here to provide you with an everlasting archive, nor are they here to sell you "ownership" of copies of certain media.) View quoted note →

(Close to 9am and turning on lights again trying to help a weak sun challenge this mornings grey. The house is waking to normal business, there's chatter on the staircase and some kids hurry for the next bus. Focussing on ones nose tip for a moment, counting breaths and then watching the rain.)

(Findings. A quiet awakening of the early years garden.)

Erste Bilder des Freitags: Immer noch Nacht über den Dächern. Regen schlägt viele kleine Wellen auf dem Vordach, die sich konzentrisch ausbreiten, ineinanderlaufen, die Spiegelbilder der wenigen morgendlichen Lichtpunkte in seltsamen Reigen tanzen lassen. Die Fassade gegenüber schläft heute noch, so weit d... z428.micro.blog https://z428.micro.blog/2024/02/09/erste-bilder-des.html

10pm and on. In between chores and overtime. Cleaning dishes, cleaning logfiles. Always missing something, always leaving something behind, noticed too late and so postponed until tomorrow because it won't be done well today anymore, anyhow. (Leaning back to the wall, not just hearing but feeling the quiet... z428.micro.blog https://z428.micro.blog/2024/02/08/223136.html

Zwischen stärkerem und schwächerem Regen: Der Abend im Hof. Tropfen auf der Kapuze, gelegentlich rinnt Wasser über Nase und Stirn. Inmitten der Häuserwände fühlt man sich klein und in jedem denkbaren Sinne übersehen. Auf dem Balkon im ersten Obergeschoss wird gelacht und geraucht, in den Zimmern dahinter k... z428.micro.blog https://z428.micro.blog/2024/02/08/zwischen-strkerem-und.html

Afternoons. Seeing through the rain. One with everything that's there, outside. // 366skies 

4pm and on. Dropping the virtual hammer at least for now. Dissatisfied with everything taking longer than expected, longer than estimated today. Short break while the systems do their thinking. Searching for fresh air in wet gardens, tracking animal footprints, listening to the rain on the still-brown mead... z428.micro.blog https://z428.micro.blog/2024/02/08/pm-and-on.html

Mentales stop-and-go zwischen den Tageshälften. Wieder zu dünne Schuhe auf kurzem Weg durch die analoge Welt. Pfannkuchen, für später. Kontakte am Wegesrand. Smalltalk: Training einer weiteren Fähigkeit, die gegen Scham und Unwohlsein in bestimmten Situationen hilft. Auf dem Parkplatz schreit die Alarmanla... z428.micro.blog https://z428.micro.blog/2024/02/08/mentales-stopandgo-zwischen.html

When meetings end earlier, there's always a quiet moment to listen to Aephanemer... love both track and clip. https://video.mecp.de/watch?v=ggncUCeWVZo

(Meanwhile, my cell phone providers newsletter keeps lying to me that I'm important to them and offers to show that by selling me a new overpriced smartphone - which I don't need - or a discount on subscribing to some arcane media streaming service - which I also neither want nor need. And now I wonder whether I should show my appreciation in return but how?)

9am and on. Todays common problem: Things that work out extremely well in theory fail in unique real-world scenarios. Leaning back, closing eyes for a few seconds, trying to focus on that odd future point at which this problem will be solved, and then trying to remember how the way in between Now and Then ... z428.micro.blog https://z428.micro.blog/2024/02/08/am-and-on.html
