We were looking for a two-week holiday and ended up in Spain again. This time on the mainland — specifically the south-eastern region of Murcia. The place we stayed is a sandbar formed by the tides of the Mediterranean. In some spots it's 700 metres wide, and it's about 21 k...
On a bus journey I was writing a post when I managed to click on an entire folder while navigating the Grav CMS menu. In the moment of confusion that followed I thought it was a new post. Obviously I didn't want to create one, so I hit the Delete button and confirme...
It's been a long time since I'd wanted to visit Barcelona. It finally happened — we decided to spend a few days seeing the highlights. We got a Barcelona Card and it was a great choice! We were staying almost next to the famous La Rambla, so everything was within walking dista...
Something unfortunate happened — my hub (VersaQ) stopped working. No Power Delivery, no USB, no HDMI... just nothing. The problem is in the electronics. I started thinking about how to get out of this. I'd been considering a monitor anyway, because FullHD is fine but it's...
What were the key moments this year?
OS: Face ID is something else... I want Touch ID back!
TV: Samsung The Frame — thin bezel and a great picture.
Floor: Oiled parquet — the difference is indescribable.
IoT: Netatmo. Smoke detection, CO₂, heating control, weather st...
Because our door has two keys, I ran out of space on my Orbitkey. Naturally there's a solution for that — the Orbitkey Extension Post is available. You do need to fill the extension so it doesn't flex... which won't be a problem, but good to know.
I unscrewed th...
When sorting out connectivity in the flat I didn't want VDSL — 30 Mbit through a modem is embarrassing. Wireless internet didn't work out in the end so I landed on a 5G modem. The box that O2 had custom-made doesn't offer much. More like nothing than a lot. Need multiple Wi-Fi net...
I needed a workspace that could fit two or three laptops, a monitor, two phones, and still leave room for writing and documents. At the same time you don't want to drown in a tangle of cables (USB-A, USB-C, power cables, HDMI...). And you can't just lay a monitor flat — if...
Since I have the option to work from home, I wanted to set up a workspace that meets today's standards. I wanted a gas monitor arm, a connection hub, a height-adjustable desk and a chair. Let's start with the desk.
Two ads were popping up at me — one from Liftor and an...
Because the apartment is quite large — over 100 m² — I decided to get a robot. Before the floors were ripped up, I used to vacuum and mop the whole place myself. That took me about an hour... now I can spend that hour on something else while the robot does its thing.
There were plent...
