Church visit

🕦︎ - 2023-05-28
Old painting depicting three people, the rightmost wearing an extraordinary hat of some sort.

Visiting the cathedral in Ribe, my eyes were drawn to this piece of headgear. It looks ... oddly futuristic.

Street furniture, decorated

🕥︎ - 2023-05-28
Eletrical cabinet in the street, painted blue and with a set of leather suspenders mounted.

Sometimes the boring eletrical cabinets in the streets get to be a little less boring - this one is outside a leather shop.

Charging etiquette

🕥︎ - 2023-05-28

While these old school electric three wheelers are sweet, nostalgic, (dangerous,) and all - it's not cool to take up a charging space and then not charge!

Boo!

Battery usage

🕤︎ - 2023-05-28

There are some things I am not very happy about with my current phone - the camera sucks compared to the Google Pixel (1), for instance - but one thing I cannot complain about is the battery life. It's pretty good.

Overnight trains

🕖︎ - 2023-05-28

As air travel is impossible to defend, especially these days, overnight trains are an increasingly interesting proposition.

Fortunately advances are happening in that industry (after a lull?) - I recently stumbled over a video showing Norwegian trains that have a solution in between regular seats and full on sleeper cabins: single reclining seats: I slept on Norway’s New UNIQUE Overnight Train!

Looks like an interesting solution!

The second Unix patent #unix #history

🕥︎ - 2023-05-14

On The Unix Heritage Society mailing list Warner Losh shared a handwritten note by John Lions:

Douglass McIllroy follows up describing typo as one of the most creative Unix programs to come out of Bell Labs.
