Radfahrlehrer. Fachtrottel in recovery. Has a fondness for software developers, but isn't one. Integrationsüberschuss. So long in Graz that all the pubs I knew at first have closed.

Stuff that can happen when your main experience of Irishness is 8 years of working with Joe "Malarkey" Biden 🤣

Im Klavierunterricht ist die gar-nicht-so-kleine bei der Ballade pour Adeline angekommen 😬 Musik für die Ewigkeit: es wird wie eine Ewigkeit vorkommen, bis sie damit fertig wird 😱

Another mostly fabulous week in the bike training project. In primary schools in Graz. I obviously don't get to share pics of the best bits (the kids) but here are a few other fun details. First fun thing was: I got to ride The Truck to bring some bikes & stuff for a class where the kids didn't have enough bikes of their own.

Alptraum. Ich mache ein Fah
rradtraining in einer Volksschule. Dann taucht in der Schule ein bestimmter ferrophiler Mensch auf und wir reden irgendwas und als nächstes sitze ich mit ihm in einem Zug! Er hat mich von meinen Kindern entführt! Und wie ichs ihm sage meint er, kein Problem, wir wollten eh mit dem Gegenzug zurückfahren! >

Puh, heute war das Osterferien-Feeling schon stark bei unseren Kids im . Eine ganz schöne Arbeit hatten wir mit dem lieben Flohzirkus. Aber so ist uns lieber, als wenn sie oberbrav sind und schon alles können ... und jetzt ... Siesta 😴

Ich kapituliere wieder einmal vor dem café-erde-cheeseburger, und esse den Haufen Fragmente mit Besteck auf. Schmecken tut er aber 😋. Und jetzt kommt ein kleines Hermax 🍺.

Rode my hills today for the first time in a very long time. It was fabulous 😊. I had a disappointment this week, though not the bad kind, more the kind that just shows me something I really really want. & this ride was just the medicine I needed to process it a bit.

A triangle of road in the bottom right corner, behind it a field of sunlit grass, behind that, coming in from the right side a belt of dark forest, in the distance hills in a mixture of mist and sunlight. Bluish-grey sky with a little bit of puffy white cloud above the forest.

People whose ads interrupt me watching Brahms' 3rd being conducted by Leonard Bernstein every couple of minutes … I'm taking notes, and not to go out 'n' buy your products.

Please excuse the Insta link, but here’s an illustration of a shifter position I think could be practical on many touring bikes. Closer to the hands than downtube, separate from the brake levers = easy roadside repair, attached to frame = Rinko. https://www.instagram.com/p/C1jL1GaPfpQ/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Alle reden von einem Verbot, aber jedes Mal, wenn ich Alice W. sehe, fürchte ich, dass ein Rosamunde-Pilcher-Fernsehserien-Verbot vor Jahren Not getan hätte. Von mir aus auch Alpendoktor und einiges mehr ...

Can we please invent a new word for a series of toots so that I can block the word ?

Inventions we didn't need, part 12,346: the interactive whiteboard. Herself says they've already abandoned them at the uni, in the place where I teach they are still in.

disaster:

I have been planning to integrate ChatGPT into a writing course I'm teaching. My idea was: once I have shown the students some features that make text coherent, we could ask the AI to revise some of their texts for coherence and some of these things would happen. Bc I expected it would know these patterns.

Fucks sake. I tried it on a paragraph last night …

I'd have thought the Middle East was fucked up enough, but news has just reached me that Tony Blair wants to go and fix it. Sweet Christ no.

"Libéré à Forville, 14.11.1918", it says on a chit issued by the Netherlands vice-consul at Charleroi. So ended the war for grandad #1. And just as well (for my chances of ever existing), since his cohort of POWs were in a bad state, and winter coming on. https://www.twobiscuits.at/musings/3403/
