  • 2024 Year Review

    This year started in Spain, just south of Barcelona, where we were enjoying the relatieve warmth of the spanish sun. It ended in a cold night in the Netherlands. 2024 has been quite a year. Some real highs, and some deep lows. Here is what happend this year.

    Olympic games

    Going to track and field during the Olympic Games has been on my bucket list since the 1984 Games in Los Angeles. This year, I got to scratch that item off. Visiting Paris during the Olympics was amazing. Even though we didn’t go to any finals, the experience was something else. There was a real celebration of sport - you could feel it in the air. The atmosphere in the stadium was incredible. Every time a French athlete’s turn came, the whole stadium exploded. olympic-stadium

  • Why would anyone in Europe take Mr. Rubio at his word, is beyond me. The whims of his boss is the only thing that matters in the current administration.

  • Don’t for a second think that we are safe here in Europe. Right now, powerful, rich, people, are looking at America and see a dream. They are trying to figure out hoentje import that dream to the EU. We have to stay vigilant. We have to keep working for democracy.

  • I fear the United States of America, as a country, is going to end up like its current president. A delusional bully. Overweight. Of a slow mind, not understanding, yet loud and insulting. Arrogant and despised. It’s relevance diminishing, as more and more nations move to disengage and ignore it.

  • We here in Europe are watching the fall of democracy in real time. This is a warning, that if we do not do something drastic now, this will be us, sooner than we think.

  • My daughter, just now: “Catastrophe is one of my favorite words. It sounds like a combination of cat and philosophy” Now I can’t unsee it, or stop laughing.

  • Just bought tickets to see Kraftwerk! I have been a fan for over 35 years, and finally I get to see them live. So excited!

  • I’ve been learning the guitar for almost a year now, using the Gibson app. I sometimes wondered about how it would be like to play together, in a band. It seemed to me to be less fun and more stressful. I have rarely been so wrong in my life.

    Today I had a lesson with a teacher and we played maybe 5 minutes together. I had no idea how invigorating and satisfying it is to play together with other people, even when you totally suck. It was just amazing.

  • I now need to quit Teams after every call because the minimized version of the call remains, as a hovering black box, until I close Teams. Even starting a new call does not fix it.

  • Often you find yourself in a situation where pull request merges (or rebases) has made sure the remote has good branch gygiene, but locally, there are still all these branches that are no longer in use, and are just hanging there. Running git fetch origin --prune will pull your local git repo in line with the remote, branch wise. `
