So, it’s 2024 already

And life got in the way. I just checked and my last blog was from 2017. That’s quite a long time ago, to say the least. Back then we bought an old house which needed some, uhrm, work. Which took quite some time, but now it is time to get this thing going again. I want to drop my thoughts and also missed some motivation to get things out. And...

The test results are in and they are… actually rather ok

This morning I had my InBody checkup done to check the December damage. I must say, I was quite surprised by the results. It looked better than I expected. A total score of 90 out of 100. Quite subjective, but still happy with it 🙂 My blood pressure was almost by the book, 127/83. My blood pressure has always been OK, also when I am pretty stressed out. So not too...

My goals for (a part of) 2017

I had a colleague rant about the fact that new year’s resolutions are stupid, which they are. Resolutions are stupid, because they are just… resolutions. In most cases they are not even S.M.A.R.T. Most people don’t even stick to them most of the time. So why bother?

Blockbuster series

Remember the past, when TV series didn’t include all these famous actors? Right… I am talking about series like The Sopranos, The Wire and Band of Brothers – all HBO mind you. At the time of the TV-series breakthrough, at the beginning of the zero’s (2000 that is). Now that TV-series have established their value, competition is increasing. Not only traditional television is making series now, but also Netflix is joining the game. And...

I am ditching Chrome – for now

high resolution life, I am ditching it. Geez, does Google do a bad job when it comes to scaling. Everything becomes blurry. And I won’t even talk about Chrome’s memory consumption… I am using a Lenovo T540p right now and it has 2880 x 1620 pixels. Windows Store apps look great, since they automatically scale with the resolution, so they always look the same, only smoother. But on the desktop...

WordPress and Microsoft Word

I am writing this post in Word and publishing through it as well. I didn’t even know that was possible. I used to use Live Writer a lot when writing blogposts, but it seems it hasn’t been updated in a while. 2012 it says, but it sure as hell doesn’t work like it should in Windows 8. I find it easier to write my post in a desktop application like...
