Well well well life happened, so this week’s post is rather short, and I guess the one next week will be bigger with more actual thoughts. But the recap is actually quite long so. Strap in.

Recap

In my university semester the first labs started, and I had to do one without knowing my lab partner previously. So I prepared that on Monday/Tuesday, and it went rather well, so I think this will be alright. I had to finish working on the second lab though, which haunted me till yesterday (and is still not really finished tbh).

Apart from recovering from Easter though I set up Syncthing to my tablet. This software makes it really easy to sync folders between places, so I use it to sync my files to my home server; and between my machines, like my university files now. I also met up with my brother (who stayed a bit longer) and mother, and we went to the bunker in St. Pauli. The view is unique because you are right in the city on all sides, and still surrounded by basically a garden setup next to the bunker. After that we went to the new Westfield shopping center, which is. Fine. It is more open spacey and not straight forward like most others I have been in thus far, which makes it nicer to walk through. But a lot of small shops weren’t open yet.

A friend was over on Wednesday, and we played some computer games together which was a lot of fun, those meet ups are so great I love doing them. In the same manner we went on Friday to other friends for a short board game evening. On Saturday me and my girlfriend went to the Schanzenflohmarkt and after being properly overwhelmed with the people there we went to the park. This is my favourite tree, it has a really cool setup holding its branch After that I went to Stade to meet a fellow student who lives there with a couple other students. He showed us a bit around in the city, and we walked to his flat and ended up playing two rounds of Codenames: Pictures which I haven’t played before, it works just as well as the original though. On Sunday I visited with a friend the Elbe westwards, Klein Flottbek, and we went back via the harbour ferries which is always a nice trip. The evening was a play in the theater, we saw an awesome take on Romeo and Juliet. Look at the elbphilharmonie/water everywhere

Currently watching/reading/listening

I nearly finished Oathbringer this week, I actually finished it yesterday (spoilers). I will probably write about it in the next post when I have some more time.

Over on YouTube, the next seasons of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss were announced Strong language. Big fan, really look forward to it. A channel I would like to point y’all to is @BelowTheFray, its a literary channel with really well-made essays.

Games

We played Overcooked and Ultimate Chicken horse, great couch games if you don’t know them.

Projects

I tried to set up dead-man-hand, which is a project similar to my Digital Will project. Not successfully, but it was an interesting diving into their take of it. And I removed exif data from the pictures on this website.

This is it for this one, hope to see you all next time with a better post, make the best out of your day!
