I told myself I wanted to read more at the end of last year. 7 books in 12 days…good pace so far I guess But I probably slow down now. I kind of like the concept of sleep.

Seriously: read the Twenty Palaces-novels by Harry Connolly. Start with Child of Fire. I read now three books and one novella in 6 days. They are terrific Urban Fantasy-entertainment. Only one book left (the prequel). Meh. I hope he writes more soon.

What I still don’t understand about Meltdown and Spectre is, how targeted the attacks can be. Can I get only some random memory, can I dump everything, can I aim for example for a certain process (like the password manager of a user in a different vm) etc…

Why is there yet another actor for Spider-Man in Homecoming?

DarkSeoul? Those names are sometimes really weird…

Sukiyaki in the making

„A Burglar‘s Guide to the City“ is not really what I expected and there are often passages where I thought that they could have been shortened. So far 3 out of 5 (page 157 of 296)

Update: Finished it now. Pretty good book after all. 4 out of 5 , sometimes a bit too long. I would have hoped that there is more about architecture and more details in terms of weaknesses. And I think about getting some lockpicks again.

Uncharted Worlds seem to be the better choice for our group than Traveller. Simpler rules, more or less the same setting. And simple rules are king when you play only once a month imho.

TIL: HumbleBundle doesn’t show you when you purchased a bundle already. But double purchases seem so normal, that they are in the pull-down for support requests 🤦‍♂️

The Pilot Frixion Gel Pen is really good. Its grip is great, it dries fast and the eraseability is awesome.
