31 July 2024 ============= Well, that was a long time without an new entry to the phlog! So, why the long silence? Well, i was pretty much always occupied with some task that magically appears in your life if you are a dad, owner of an centuries old house and son of elderly parents... life never gets boring :-) On the computing side of things - when there was some time - i am now relying only on the Devterm for all daily needs in my private life only seldom using my work issued smartphone whe there is some website that i NEED to use and there is no other workaround. Life without an private smartphone has at least teached me one thing: Those devices really destroy your mind if you are not really, really careful... ist like a drug: Seldom, in small doses it may be nice, but too much to often destroys you. Our son is now approaching 1 1/2 years of age, which is mindblowing looking back! Would you ask me, i would firmly state that he was just born a couple of months ago... time is really relative it seems... What i find absolutely astounding is how far he is developed now: He understands EVERYTHING we say to him... and has already developed a very distinct personality. At the moment he begins to speak (a mix of vietnamese and german), but as time progresses we think he will sort out which word belongs to which language. Well, i hope i now will have a bit more time to dig into the gopherspace again in the near future.
