This year I have 2 New Year Resolution:
– Code More
– Draw More
First one is obvious, I got some major projects to work on, a picture library for my dad.
The second one also, I did not draw a lot last year.
I really neglected it, yet the stories in my head still continue to grow.
I need to get them out.
Still ongoing.. quite some busy holidays !
Been to many emergency rooms and doctors. She just keeps on getting sick.
Finally started the picture project. Making my dad’s pictures available for all the family. Who would have thought, Adobe Lightroom seems not be all be to handle over 200000 pictures well.
Otherwise at least enough Plätzchen this year for me.
And a huge amount of books. When do I ever find the time to read them?*sigh *
Well. Onto a new year!
Cheers to you all!
„Schwager“ from France is here.
Some traditional German things for dinner; )
yesterday evening I had some minutes to bake Zimtsterne
🙂
Christmas season has started.
Time to do some online shopping.
As a father it is so much easier nowadays.
I thought..
First, the BMW Shop tells us, the product is not available any more. But one cen get a reminder, when it is again..
I receive now every morning a reminder, Product is available, go to their web page and click on it into my basket.
But that’s it. on checkout, it just says, product not available, but you can set a reminder…
And in other news..
I hacked Baby Walz.
So simple:
You log into your account, change invoice and delivery address and ..whoops.. you have a new account.
A joined account, because, one has the same email (their primary ID?).
But all past orders have now vanished.
And if you stay logged on, your new order will never show up.
You have to log out and in again, to see it.
(But you will not be able to see older ones..)
As I have said in the past, people, stick to Amazon, they know their business!
😉
That took my a while..
I just finished Postwar from Tony Judt.
What a ride through the history of Europe post 1945.
Starting from „Stunde Null“, VE day, up to 2005, he covers every aspect of politics and life here in Europe.
That would be from Portugal to the Soviet borders, from Iceland to Cyprus.
Most of the loca, German, history, was well known to me.
But outside of that realm, I did not know that much.
What happened in Spain after the Franco sleep?
Did France lost Grand Nation status impact its politics during the 60s?
How about those communists in Italy?
What about the Thatcherism in Britain?
Who was responsible for ’68/’69 pseudo revolutions in the west?
What did happen during the revolutions in Hungary, Poland, Czech, etc.?
How was this different from their second one in ’89?
It was a very hard read for me, but incredible interesting.
He really is into the intellectual debates of the 20th century.
Sometimes very quickly glancing over political decisions, but never leaving out anything important.
So, if you are interested in Europe post 1945, this is the book to read.
Goosebumps .. wow ..
This is quite a shock.
Brexit all over again.
I would never have guessed that so many Americans are that gullible.
But we have to move on.
Let’s see how he handles that first term.

Our daughter is a hobbit
We put our kid into the Kita so other kids have an influence onto her.
But it is quite the opposite.
When we started going there, all the kids were walking. Now.. Most of them are back to crawling.
It seems she is a bad influence to other kids already
🙂
