The worst thing about a book store: you buy new books like you didn’t have quite a few books at home waiting🥲
The best part of a book store: you get to buy new books 🥰

Summer holiday is for relaxation and realizing you are just your dad with no practical skills.
There are reality shows about fixing cars and there are youtube star car mechanics but are there any kind of shows about ”cLoUd CoNsUltAnTs”? Now tell me Timo
My dad: has a million projects going on. Realises a part is missing and everything is left as it stands. He takes on new project. Repeat
Me: having 104 github repos and dozens of domains waiting for the right day. No, not at all the same
sobs in self-realization
Rainy day, summer flu and I am all out of paper books and all my e-ink devices are not with me. But I need books!
The Finnish edition also contained the short story Compulsory. The story is short for sure but still reveals one important part of the backstory
Finished reading: Artificial Condition by Martha Wells đź“š
(Again, read the Finnish translation by Mika Kivimäki)
Yes! More murderbot. Like them I would like to just hide in the closet and enjoy entertainment feeds.
There is something magical about writing that simultaneously entertains me and makes me think how neurospicy mind functions.

Exactly my kind of scifi. Fun, fast and short. Best part is the internal monologue of the main character. Extremely relatable (minus the murder parts)

Along with a dozen Star Trek comics I went through this collection of five mini comics about the Expanse main cast. I wish there was more story here but yes, these are our characters
Ozzy Osbourne was and is the greatest rock star ever for me. Ever since I was twelve and still now. This is one of my favourites from him
Weird thing about ”celebrity X is a horrible person” news is that when you go to the comments you always find that also celebrities Y and Z are awful. Depressing
Not prompted by anything recent, reading about long gone incident involving an actor making fun of someone’s death. I can’t believe some people can’t hide their terribleness even in public. I hope that never happens to me
In retrospect, making screenshots available to normies was a terrible mistake. It could have been a power user only feature forever
Mouse climbed into my shoe at our garden (my feet were not in them but still). I may have not demonstrated my bravest side when that happened

First of many!
Summer holiday
My four week summer holiday starts today. Or as the gen Z calls it: mini-retirement. Planning to do as little as possible (in reality my long holiday to-do grows every minute)
I’ve locked myself out of social media until Monday the 18th of August, try to spend as much time I can on the stuff I choose to do: writing my journal, playing piano, enjoy the company of herons and egrets by the sea, and upkeep my garden.
As I have focused on creating stuff myself 2025, I’ve neglected reading books altogether. I am planning to read as much comics I can over the holiday. I have a pile of Star Trek comics waiting and when I am done with that I will read something else
Considering the recent ad changes in Netflix offering I more and more think that it should be illegal to add advertising to services and devices consumer pays for. “I already paid for this” directive surely is being prepared somewhere in European Commission?
So, what is the current best practice of favicons. PNG, SVG, and needed meta-tags? Is there a definite blog post somewhere?
My breakfast this morning. Leftover mashed potatoes, a cup of terrible coffee and an energy drink. My body is a temple of some forgotten, lesser god
