Week 2023-05
Earlier this week I took my parents to the airport and had the opportunity to work on my side project on the train on my way back home. For some reason I enjoy coding on trains, buses, and airplanes. Especially when it’s raining outside. A wonderful combination of white noise sounds, I suppose.
tinyScientist went to the doctor for his U-Untersuchungen and took some other vaccines. My wife has a Phd in vaccine development working with viruses, so of course tinyScientist won’t miss a single shot.
On Tuesday I returned to work after two weeks off and had my contract updated to match my new title: Engineering Team Lead. Never have I imagined I would take such kind of role, but the setup we have in the company works so well that I decided to accept the challenge. I’m glad I have the time to write code and lead a team.
Internet in Germany has its ups and downs; probably more downs than ups. This week my Internet Provider gave me money back because the service is too unstable in my area, I had to use my phone as personal hotspot in 30% of the meetings I attended.
Earlier this year LEGO released the Series 24 of its minifigures. We went to a store to feel the packages, as we always do, and found 10 minifigures. Still missing 2.
And finally, I canceled Audible. The local public library is great and offers thousands of audiobooks via Libby for 10 EUR/year.
