Tomorrow I have a race over 26.8km and my preparation was really bad. Because I felt sick-ish and then hurt my shoulder this week, I didn’t run a lot in the last couple of weeks. I guess, I just run for the fun but I prepared ok-ish pace-targets, not ambitious ones, anyway. #running
Und dieses Wochenende Ortszirkelleitertagung vom Magischen Zirkel von Deutschland. Und zur Enttäuschung meiner Tante kam keiner der Zauber:innen in wallenden schwarzen Gewändern. #mzvd #oztagung
Jetzt wo die Kinder älter sind, überlege ich nochmal zu studieren. Ich schau mir Informatikbezogene Studiengänge an (besonders Wirtschaftsinformatik) und denk mir bei so vielen Kursen: da hab ich voll Lust drauf. Hoffentlich klappt es diesmal (den letzten Versuch eines zweiten Studiums brach ich ab)
For once it wasn’t DNS.

And I learned about AltGR WEur which is far better than us-alt int. for typing characters like umlauts on a US-keyboard. Now I also don’t have dead keys anymore which makes things better :)
One week in with the #glove80 and I am getting comfortable. Today I flashed the bilateral tailorkey-firmware and it helped to reduce my error rate. I am nearly back up to speed. There are still some characters which are weird. I.e. = because it is on the left side.
Today was the first day I did everything on the #Glove80 and I was slow. I trained yesterday and the day before but that wasn’t enough. I read 2 weeks-2 months. Well, I guess I just use it every day now as my daily driver to get faster up to speed again. I flashed today TailorKey, that seems great.
I got today a Kensington Slimblade Pro. I knew trackballs only in the form of those small ones from Logitech and wasn’t very happy. But I always read that they are better for ergonomics. So I got myself now something better. And this thing is worlds apart from all the other trackballs I tried. I❤️it
Thinking about races in 2026. I will probably do:
- S25 in Berlin (25km race, either through the Grunewald or similar to Berlin Half)
- Brocken-Marathon
- Nikolauslauf Berlin (26.8km)
I am still thinking if there might be an interesting 10k I could fit in. #running
I was surprised to learn that Plainorg supports ID-links and therefore I can actually read easily my notes I made in roam. The apps from @xenodium@indieweb.social are really nice.
A colleague found that: the company who built the lifting ramp that was used when they robbed the Louvre created an ad with it (alt-text for translation)
Das Drei ???-Buch von Andreas Eschbach taugt. Es ist ein erwachsener Drei ???-Krimi. Die Backstory zwischen Just und Peter mag ich nicht so richtig und dass sooo viel Zeit vergangen ist; aber insgesamt eine gute Story und schöner Fan-Service.
Amazon really doesn’t want one to download ebooks anymore. The obfuscation in their web reader is quite something imho.
New 5km PB: 22:23:57
I hoped that I could run 23:30:00 and I was more than a minute faster. That is so awesome! 🥳 #running
The new printer arrived. After the last one aggravated me so much that I wanted a new one, I tried this time one with tanks for the ink. It is a bit weird to fill the tanks by hand. But the printing costs of this machine are so low! Now I hope that my wife is also happy with it, she prints a ton.
So, ich hab mich jetzt endlich für den Berliner Nikolauslauf angemeldet (Big5). Mal sehen, wie meine Zeit dieses Jahr wird. Die Veranstaltung mag ich ja irgendwie sehr, auch wenn es klein ist und die Stimmung eher ruhiger.
