Crazy Times

 
31st of May until 2nd of June 2024

Sun Jun 2 2024, 3:14:45 pm CET All of a sudden it is Sunday. Where did the time go? I am barely ready for the weekend and it is almost over. Additionally, we are already in June. Crazy times!

We did some chores around the house today and kabooom, it is afternoon/early evening... Anyway, it's been a nice day so far. Yesterday we were invited to dinner at our friendsM. and W. and their daughter M. It was such a long time since last, but we all lead busy lives and in certain periods it is not easy finding a day that suites all of us.

J.'s still in a study period and it will be like that for some weeks more. He is doing a great job, but he's never found it easy to find inspiration to study for something that is long in the future.

Yesterday I took the time to work on my future plans for this website  I will use the experience that I have collected during the 3 years This site was born almost exactly 3 years ago, 15th of May 2021! I have had this site. I did some ongoing enhancements but this time I have some big changes in store. I will change the service provider, the underlaying technology, but I will stay true to the design and layout with only some basic changes.

I finally got around to order an air compressor. For 20 years - at least - I have always wanted one, we always had one growing up.

I remember the Pacman and a shooting game with airplanes and submarines. It is called the Philips Videopac G7000 in the European market. and when dad came home with his Sinclair ZX81 sinclair zx81Oh I can even remember the box it came in. On this I developed my first program in a Basic like language......these memories are stuck in my brain and I can remember some very specific details of them). It's extremely useful and it was used a lot. Anyway, the one I ordered now finally was one with a 50l tank, on 1500w producing 10 bar. I also added some basic equipment like a 5m hose, nozzles and air pressure valve.

Yes, it is my fabulous 4 EUR mechanical keyboard from Temu you see in the background. So far, I am a fan of this little keyboard.
