Greetings from the Pit
Last Saturday we were supposed to have had the final Kinky Boots show at the Oulun Teatteri, and as always we had a fun time performing the music down here in the Pit! Supposed to? Two more shows had... more

re:re:re: The Last Move
So, I can't make this up, but I have moved the blog - again. Back to Bearblog in fact. I "think" this would be the 3rd move this year, and frankly I am getting a bit tired of my habit of moving things... more
And yet another Anniversary
And yes, it's that time of the year that the blog has yet another anniversary. It "should" be the 18th. And only one day late. Cool! Increasingly though it feels as if the only purpose of this blog is... more
“Weeknote” for the Weeks 26 to 30 of 2025
Not going to start how this again took quite some time, and how this also comes out at the end of the week. Then again, who cares. In any case there naturally had been plenty of things and here's the... more
The Thing with the Theme
tl;dr: can't decide on a theme and thus simply changed my color theme with some AI-help of all things. This is another typical-me. Now that Magic-Pages allows for installing themes I am unable to deci... more
The Writing Cushion
How a seat-cushion solved an issue that I had with almost every notebook ever. more
My new favourite pen: The Uni Kuru Toga 0.5
tl;dr: After years of tinkering with fountain pens, inks, nibs and gel-pens I found the possible solution to my "pen-issue" in the complete opposite: in a mechanical pencil. I can with absolute confid... more
Weeknote for Week 25 in 2025
While importing posts into this blog I learned that this blog is but one big Groundhog Day and try to figure out how to get out of the loop. I could mention when I posted the previous , but to spoil t... more
Until the Coffee gets Cold
My "new" journal-routine is turning out quite nicely. I have been journaling for quite some time, but consistently daily in one form or the other for a couple of years, since 2019 I guess. Since I am,... more
My "Summer-Reading" for 2025
Having a plan might help me to stay on track with my reading in one way or the other. The other day I finished reading Ernest Hemingway's classic "The Old Man and the Sea" and enjoyed it a lot and sin... more
"here I go again"... AKA: re: re: The Last Move
In which I again drive myself crazy, and do the exact opposite of what I intended to do in the first place. And yes, after a couple of months happily blogging from my desktop with Hugo, and having had... more
An Addendum to the Theme Toggle Snippet
Recently I wrote about a little function I wrote to toggle between the light and dark theme in KDE - Plasma and switching my Emacs theme in the process. I still wasn't quite satisfied and tweaked it a... more
A Mono-spaced Rabbit Hole
Over the course of the past week I have managed, yet again, to spent a stupid amount of time in trying to find a "nicer" (whatever that means) mono-spaced font, and in the process learned that the set... more
Exit Song - Season 1
The other day we have played the last Kinky Boots show of the spring season, and as during all the previous shows, we had a blast again! Now there will be a break over the summer vacation and shows wi... more
'G-G' - Gnus find of the day
After switching/re-installing/upgrading my OS I have deliberately chosen to not set up Notmuch in Emacs again, as the whole idea of my new setup rather is to be as simple and minimal as possible and t... more
A possible Solution to my 'blurry-fonts' issue on KDE
The other day I wrote about my switch to SWAY due to some issues that I had with KDE's font rendering and some issues with Emacs's PDF scrolling which had become painfully sluggish. As neither of the... more
Oops, I did it again!
And here I am again, typing happily away in Emacs in my nicely set up Sway WM. The trained eye might already have spotted in my previous post that the pictured editor is of course not Obsidian, but my... more
Ballroom Dancing
It was fun performing at this ballroom-dancing, or swing dancing to be correct, yesterday. We had fun and the dancers seemingly/hopefully as well. We performed Swing classics from Glenn Miller, Stan K... more
Using Obsidian as my Blog editor
The other day I ran into an older post by Obsidian's developer Steph Ango on Mastodon showing how he is using Obsidian and it's new-ish web-viewer to built and preview his blog and I realized that thi... more
