Until the Coffee gets Cold
My "new" journal-routine is turning out quite nicely.
My new favourite pen: The Uni Kuru Toga 0.5
tl;dr: After years of tinkering with fountain pens, inks, nibs and gel-pens I found the possible solution to my "pen-issue" in the complete opposite: in a mechanical pencil
Weeknote for Week 25 in 2025

My "Summer-Reading" for 2025
Having a plan might help me to stay on track with my reading in one way or the other.
"here I go again"... AKA: re: re: The Last Move

Oops, I did it again!
And here I am again, typing happily away in Emacs in my nicely set up Sway WM. The trained eye might already have spotted in my previous post that the pictured editor is of course not Obsidian, but my "old" friend Emacs. And I am glad to be
