Being thrown into the wild in a foreign country is the best way to practice language.

I've just went to STK (technical control station) with my car to find out why the hell they screwed up my documents. They marked my tech control to expire on the date of control one year ago for my (almost) new car.

So, I went there with my barely working Czech and managed to fix all the stuff. I'm proud of myself :ablobfoxbongo:

If that young skateboarder had guts to approach me and ask if I could take a photo of him while he was jumping down the stairs, why the fuck am I too shy to approach people and ask if I could take a portrait of them?

I once brought my film camera to a watchmaker (don’t know anything about watches but a friend did)

I liked the vibes (20 years ago?!)

I try not to be at least A LITTLE bitter when people are jazzed about it being Friday but because of the nature of my jobs, I’m working 23+ hours over tonight and the next two days.

My attempts at such usually fail.

But, sincerely, for those who get a typical break in their work routines, happy Friday.
Enjoy it extra for me. 🙂

Do I want to try and install Word 97 just to prove to myself there really was an HTML editor built into it?

I swear that's how I learned HTML. I think for my personal history I need to know. And take some decent screenshots...

Given the demographic of my follower base on this account, I'm mentioning this as a curiosity, but...

I spent quite a few months translating Meta in Myanmar series by @kissane to Polish.

It happened. It's live.

So, I was about to format the memory card of my dashcam and had a random idea what to do with those recordings from the last weekend.

I compressed 3 hours of driving into 5 minutes and put some music on top of it.

My dashcam is not an Arri camera and the weather was foul, but I kinda like what I ended up with. Those moving clouds are so cool.

All my best dreams end with an abrupt cliffhanger as soon as my alarm goes off.

Happy April Fools’ day to everyone who celebrates.

I’m a fool all year long, so I don’t celebrate.

So for whatever reason I'm exploring how to build Eleventy site out of Flickr albums / images.

Someone asked about it a while ago.

Plus I feel I might need it myself one day when Netlify, Vercel and GitHub betray me at once.

Static website owners who don’t host it on Netlify or similar, what are you using to process contact form processing?

lukem, 2 months ago to random

I run an Eleventy template and two sites that consume it.

I'm tired of manually updating the template and then porting changes to the two sites I run.

It would be great to replace two sites with a script that would pull the latest version of the template and load the configuration data or stuff.

🤔

So uhm, I blogged. And to be honest, only to a small extent it is about photography.

Here is how I “watch YouTube” first I check that my ad blockers are on, and the extension that hides thumbnails, and the extension that gives videos more neutral titles. I look at my subscriptions and add videos to a playlist. I search for topics I’m currently concerned about. When I have about 90min of video. I shuffle the list and check the order. Then (and only then) do I get to kick back and “watch TV”

YouTube isn’t easy to use this way.
Anyone else do something similar?

Is it really an API if it's just me building json periodically? 🤷🏼‍♂️
