Engineer, trying to kick the habit by doing humanities and science; doesn't really work but I like it. Not a specialist to "follow" for a single subject, but I might know how some things are connected. Very high Reading-to-TV ratio. Ardent #cyclist. Attracted to #complexity through the lens of #philosophy, e.g., #cognition #history #ideology #life #linguistics #logic #neurology #phenomenology #politics #psychology #semiotics #sociology #stochastics #technology #truth. Relapse to #selfhosting.
Happy Winter Solstice everyone! A friendly reminder: as it's usual at this time of the year, what bothers you will last for a while. My advice is to enjoy the things you like about the season. Change will be noticeable in a month from now, and change will appear to be the new normal around Equinox. #solstice #winter
We have a cold spell in Germany, it's more like January than like November. During my ride today, the air was colder than yesterday, down to -3.5 C (26 F), but most of the time it was sunny, and cycling in the sun was nice. Today, my face and my feet were better protected against the cold than yesterday. Anyhow, I decided that 65 km (40 miles) is enough. Another thing: today I surpassed 25,000 km since January 1 😄 #cycling #bikeTooter #winter #frostpendeln
Waldenburg from the Hohenlohe plain. During my 100 km ride today I had stereotypical fall weather: quite strong wind, in the hills with gusts, rain and some sunshine, temperatures between 6 and 9 degrees C. Much slower than under better weather conditions, but in a few weeks today's weather will be what I'll call good weather. #cycling #fall #Germany #Hohenlohe image
I own a miniature "netbook computer", the best selling type of computer from 2009 to 2011 (I believe) that's been unused for 8 years. Unlike the last generation of netbooks, with larger screens and normal sized keyboards, my Eee-PC 900A is a real 1st gen netbook: the keyboard is the right size for touch-typing toddlers and the 8GB flash is, like, small. It has a 32bit CPU; Bookworm is the final #Debian release supporting it. It now runs the latest Firefox ESR. Slow, but it works. #netbook image
A normal working day with some extra cycling. We had mist in the morning, and sunshine during most of the day. The autumn colors are very intense just after sunset. Roughly 23+77 km. #cycling #fall #autumncolors #Germany image
