Just got back from the garage roof after an attempt of trying to get snow and ice from the pv modules.
Of course, now it started snowing again.
Two-photo collage of a flat garage roof with photovoltaic (PV) modules in winter conditions. Top image shows the panels fully covered with a thin layer of snow and ice. Bottom image shows the same panels after a partial cleaning attempt, with some modules and sections cleared to reveal dark solar cells while patches of snow and ice remain. Snowy garden and neighboring buildings visible in the background. Winter landscape during active snowfall, with large snowflakes falling in front of leafless trees and shrubs. A grassy field is lightly dusted with snow, creating a muted mix of white, brown, and green tones under an overcast sky.

Mission accomplished! 📏🕯️✅
An Advent wreath on a wooden table with four red candles arranged in a straight row, each candle noticeably taller than the one before it, creating an even, step-by-step height progression from left to right. The candles are lit and set in a metal tray decorated with red ornaments and silver accents. A Christmas tree and rustic living room furniture are visible softly in the background.

A version of 'git status', but it would be 'dev status' and it would tell you how far ahead the code is of your understanding of it.

Signs that there's at least one nerd in your household: The proposal is on the table to create commonly used documents (and templates) in $markupLanguage and put them in git, so everybody can use their own version, and even could fork the repo.
comic book style illustration in the artistic style of Asterix and Obelix. Inside a rustic house, a stone sink is overflowing with dirty dishes and bones. A small warrior with a winged helmet (resembling Asterix) points accusingly at a large, floating parchment scroll. Next to him, a large warrior in striped pants (resembling Obelix) looks guilty and sweats nervously. The scroll displays a computer terminal log titled "$ git blame KITCHEN_SINK.log". The code entries read: "e3a1b2 (OBELIX 2 hours ago) Left spoon with boar grease" and "7f9c01 (ASTERIX 5 mins ago) Ignored the spoon".

Yeah, I feel you. Had the same.
"Good" thing is, after ~1.5 years on the iPhone only, I've gotten used to the crappy keyboard. 🙈

The keyboard on the iPhone you mean?

Pretty sure @tamarajosten.bsky.social would NOT approve 😂.
At least not in the living room.

Good to hear (no pun intended 😂) about the hearing aids.

Never been an 🍏 fanboy, quite the oppsite, I quite like the Google products, but the Apple hardware is great, integration with the software, stuff working across devices, battery life.
(No iPad yet, I've never been a tablet person.)

Please tell me it’s totally normal to light only the second candle, because the height difference between candle 1 and candle 2 is clearly bigger than between candle 2 and candle 3!
**ALT text:** Four red Advent candles are arranged in a row on a decorative metal tray with silver stars, red baubles, and fairy lights on a wooden table. The first candle on the left is the shortest and heavily melted, the second candle is slightly taller and lit, and the third candle is noticeably taller and smooth; the fourth candle on the right is the tallest. In the softly blurred background, a cozy living room with wooden furniture, plants, and warm decorations creates a calm, festive atmosphere.

The fun of automating tests while being on the train: Is the environment down? Is it the network? Or are my tests faulty? 🤔

„Testing Transparency“ - Elizabeth Zagroba and @workroomprds.com exploring a crossword generator app - a great talk with a lot of fun at the Agile Testing Days 2025! 👍🦄

Richard Bradshaw stands at the front of a conference room at Agile Testing Days, presenting beside a large screen displaying a “Successful Login Flow” diagram. He holds a clicker while speaking, with his laptop covered in stickers on the table in front of him. Several water bottles and equipment lie on the table, and large windows behind him show trees and natural light. Audience members sit to the left, listening.
