Finally dared to go #bouldering again but halfway through the session had to stop 🙄 My chronic vertigo has been acting up the past weeks now thanks to weather & stress, and got triggered by the climbing movements. FFS.

But at least I got *some* routes done again.

Just finished The Drifter. What an amazing point & click adventure that was! Graphics, sound, atmosphere, music, UX just clicked & the story got me hooked instantly. If you like the genre, I can really only recommend getting and playing this, it's worth it!

It's Friday, which means I went #bouldering again this morning! Some new routes again, and even though I was extremely tired I managed to get a good workout I think 💪

Still in recharging mode (this vacation really was extremely necessary and almost too late it seems) but still went #bouldering this morning! My arms ended up fully pumped way too early for some reason, but still managed to do some that required grip strength 💪

I've posted some of my pictures from #why2025 over at my Fedi account: chaos.social/@foosel/1150...

This was the first event like that where I took a proper camera with me (Lumix GX80 and a couple of lenses) and it certainly won't be the last.

Still recovering from WHY and work, but still went #bouldering this morning. Ooof, what a heat in the hall, even at 7am! 🥵 But I still managed to get some routes done, some old, some new, and it felt good to work out again!

This has definitely been also a highlight of my experience at @why2025.bsky.social , lovely to meet Gina and find out we have so much in common 🫶🏻 already thinking about next camp!
I'm still in full blown recharging mode, but I want to share that one of my (admittedly many) personal highlights of my past few days at #why2025 was meeting @erikaheidi.bsky.social in real life and nerding out about climbing and 3d printing! 😄

Thanks everyone for the kind words words when I was laid off from GitHub in May. I promptly shut my computer and took a few lovely months of vacation ☺️

Now I’m back and starting interviewing! So if you’re looking for an expert in building community-first programs, now’s the time to let me know ☎️
Hi!! What’s up!! I’ve been laid off from GitHub, so if I don’t respond to your emails, it’s FINALLY not my fault 😘 sorry in advance.

The past 5 years were an honor and a joy, because wow, OSS maintainers are a kind bunch. Grateful I got to run one last Maintainer Summit before leaving 💓

Vacation mode: on

Some desperately needed time off is starting now. Looking forward to @why2025.bsky.social and some rest before and after 😊

My home office just got an upgrade I've been thinking about for more than half a decade 😬

I can now not only stand while working (electric standing desk bought back in 2015), no, I can also now WALK while working thanks to a shiny new walking pad 😊
July 25, 2025 at 1:26 PM
And another #bouldering session has been done! 💪 As this year so far has been extremely tricky with regards to minor injuries, vertigo and such, I'm proud of every single one I manage to do!

FINALLY back on the wall! Thanks to some injuries and EuroPython it's been three weeks since the last #bouldering session, but today I finally made it back. Very happy with the session too, of 18 routes I topped 16 😊 Probably will fight the Soreness of Doom this time tomorrow though 😅

Together with my travel buddy Timothy I'm now also on my way to @europython.eu! For now some waiting at the gate is in order...

I just swapped the batteries in my Aranet4 CO2 monitor for the first time, not because they ran out, but because I have a conference coming up and didn't want to risk that happening THEN. I got that device on October 27th 2023. So that means it made it almost two years on one charge. Impressive AF!

Have been spending the week so far working on a plugin for #OctoPrint's new comm layer that will be part of 1.12.0 & as of earlier today I'm able to print on Moonraker enabled Klipper based printers😁

Even though today is probably going to be a way to hot day, I went #bouldering this morning as it finally worked out again that I'd have a bouldering buddy. The gym was quite warm already at 7am, but I still managed to top some new routes.

#Bouldering session (despite having slept like crap and fighting with my chronic vertigo)

Slipped and fell off a route I had already done in the past, just as I was reaching the top. Still annoyed by that 😅 Nothing hurt through.

Today's #bouldering session went better than Wednesday's, somehow I had more energy even though I have a busy week behind me now.

I still need to be careful with my finger pulleys, avoiding crimps where I can, and the elbow is still annoying, but things seem to get better.

Well, I for one know which T-Shirt I'll be wearing when I go watching this 😊

I just had to adjust the registration guidelines of OctoPrint's plugin repo to explain that a vibe coded plugin that the "author" doesn't understand themselves can't be maintained by them and thus doesn't belong on the official plugin repo, and I really don't like our reality.
June 12, 2025 at 4:18 PM
Another #bouldering session down, after yet another forced break. This year is really not the best when it comes to my health in general between chronic & other crap - frustrating AF 😒 But I do my best to make it to the gym whenever my body and head play along and consider every session a win!
