Weekly Post 8

Table of Contents

Hello there. It has been a while. I used the off time and thought about changing the recap part a bit so it doesn’t feel like a chore. We shall see how it turns out.

Recap

I finished my exams, and went straight into a week of taking care of a youth camp in Sweden. Then I spend a week basically in my home town with my girlfriend, doing events with out friends. And now I am on the train to cologne to check out the second day of FrOSCon (NewPipe e.V. has a booth \o/) together with her, and will be picked up by my parents to have two weeks of family + girlfriend holiday in the Volcanic Eifel, with the explicit goal of visiting Luxembourg which we all haven’t seen yet.

Culinary highlight

I was part of a barbecue and tried a new SimplyV product, the grilled cheese (sorry only in German for now). It holds together quite well on the grill. The taste and consistency is not close to a milk based grilled cheese, but a totally acceptable substitute for me. Will eat it again.

Currently watching/reading/listening

I am looking forward to watching the second season of Sandman and Wednesday, I am currently rewatching the first seasons with different people in preparation. There is also a new Bully Herbig movie in the cinema, Das Kanu des Manitu. His previous movies are German classics, but very much a comedy product of their time. Hence I am cautiously optimistic how well he transformed to 2025.

And I am making great progess through the Stormlight Archives/Brandon Sanderson books with my mother, we threw in Tress of the Emerald Sea and it was a lovely story, and now we are in the first quarter of the last book of the Archives.

Games

I got the Switch 2 and enjoyed Mario Kart and especially Donkey Kong Bananza (almost finished the story). I also started playing Antimatter Dimensions, an incremental idle game. A very fun genre I haven’t interacted with previously, exciting to test this out.

Projects

I found some time to code some parts of the new Telegram Bot API update, which I really enjoy doing and don’t find enough time for.

As always, make the best out of your day!
