It‘s Sunday evening and I am definitely not old.
This weekend I finished reading The Storm Before The Storm. Mike Duncan goes through the events that lead the Roman Republic being vulnerable to dictatorship.

The polishing in the latest update from Fiery Feeds is amazing. The apps looks and feels a lot better now. 😎
Yesterday I wrote a couple hundred lines of code in an hour. The last three hours I have worked at a single line of configuration.
I love Webpack.
Philip Walton came up with a great pattern (and library) to execute JavaScript when the browser is idle, but run it immediately when it is urgent:

Pokémon Fusion is the best thing that I saw on the internet this week.

Or as I would say as a programmer: false == true
It’s always super interesting to read Apples short description of the new version of iOS, after reading the massive MacStories review of it.
The intrinsicsize attribute is not yet in HTML,, but I would need it for a problem right now. css-tricks.com
The new interface for Chrome looks really… ah… dumb.
I got a MacBook Pro with touch bar at work. I don’t have any problems with the keyboard yet, but sometimes audio comes out of the speakers instead of the plugged in headphones.
Plugging in headphones has worked perfectly for the decade I am using Apple notebooks.
In July my flight from Costa Rica back to Vienna was late 22 hours. Thanks to the European Union I will get 600 euro compensation for the delay and the whole round-trip flight costed me less than 200 euros.

My flight from Costa Rica to Vienna is 22 delayed. I get a nice hotel, but I’m already waiting for over one hour to check into it.
On the plus side, because of the compensation my flight will be nearly free.

I have received two kinds of GDPR emails in the last few days:
1) We’ve updated our privacy policy. No action required 2) GDPR!!!! IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!
Guess which kind of emails I have signed up to receive.
If you are writing code that generates PDF I recommend Skim. In constrast to Preview, Skim can automatically reload the PDF when it changes.

“The world’s 7.6 billion people represent just 0.01% of all living things, according to the study. Yet since the dawn of civilisation, humanity has caused the loss of 83% of all wild mammals and half of plants, while livestock kept by humans abounds.”

My allergies were really bad this afternoon and I went through tissues like crazy. I had to go out and buy more.
As expected, since buying more tissues I didn’t need to sneeze a single time.
🎧 Today I have once again collected some great albums that came out.
Since yesterday I am occasionally getting “Secure Connection Failed” errors when going to youtube.com in Firefox. Reloading fixes the probelm.
The bird on the Tweetbot 3 for Mac icon looks as angry as I feel when reading Twitter.
I never dreamt of flying cars, my dream was screens everyone and ways to move stuff around these screens seamlessly.
Microsoft is bringing this one step closer to reality.
“In the weeks and months following the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., we all wondered how mere entertainment could possibly matter when held up against the horror of that time. And yet, not long after, audiences were ready to welcome epic, elemental battles between the forces of light and dark for the fate of the world.”
Seems like messenger.com is not working when logged out.
Here is a web bug I have never seen before: messenger.com does not work in Private Browsing (tested in Safari, Chrome, Firefox) right now, but works perfectly normal without private browsing.
Since the Hey Elbow Show tonight was cancelled (😢) I will spend the evening working on the new design of my blog and watching the recut of season 4 of Arrested Development.

🎧 New Albums from May 4, 2018
Canisiusgasse, Vienna
Volksgarten, Vienna
Memorial to deserters, Ballhausplatz, Vienna
Maybe I move into a small Italian town and cycle around all day getting coffee and bread.
📚 I finished reading Die Hauptstadt by Robert Menasse. A novel with an ensemble cast set in the European Union that is entertaining, thrilling and makes you think about Europe and nationalism.

Personally I hate Instagram Stories because they are a weird mixture of Instagram (beautiful photos) and mini-YouTube (person talking into camera). I just want the beautiful photos.
I’m Sorry To Report Instagram Is Bad Now
