Photographed a PhD defense today. Quickly went home to make a print for the party, my plan was a strong portrait. But when I viewed the photos I ended up with a sequence of photos showing the different stages of a defense
- ohh no, I’m gonna fail and die here
- ohh no, why did they ask that question
- ok, I’m not going to die
- that was interesting/funny
- relief
- ohh god, I passed
I hope they liked the photos
Sigh, sometimes there isn’t much you can do ☹️ My task was to take some photos from a course at the university that wasn’t boring photos of students doing presentations … well, it turned out that the only photos that could be taken was boring photos of students doing presentations ☹️
The toilet for those who have extra long arms
Warm up
I love hi-tec solutions
Is “forced use of Microsoft Teams” a valid reason for early retirement?
Many years ago, I wanted to become an independent software developer. It never happened … for which I’m very grateful. Reading different user forums just makes me sad/angry, some users seem to have no perspective of life.
Here is a hug for all independent software developers.
In simplest terms, Teams is a perfect encapsulation of a bureaucratic, archaic, and outdated 50-year-old company that is trying to reinvent itself as an AI leader.
That was interesting, I cleaned out my bookshelves a bit and put the books I didn’t want in the corridor. It was mostly books on software engineering, object oriented programming, databases, a surprising number of books on operating systems, realtime programming, computer architecture, C, Java, Python, HCI and UX, etc. Sent out an email and after 1h it look like this, most books on operating systems are gone.
