Momentarily BACK!

Hey hey! Once again I'm clacking keys from a cloudy Stockholm, 27/5/2025.

I took a walk on 13/5/2025 to a local restaurant hoping to have some seafood stew with saffron and hand-peeled shrimp... but there was none left!!! Got a good walk though. Sunshine. Much like today.

Much like today too the same item is on the menu!

I'm tempted to take another swing at it. Another shot at that tantalizing trencher. Another stab at that shrimp fondue. Another violent way of saying I'd like to once again head off to the races (it's a restaurant by a gallop track) and feast on the festive fodder of the sea... but our fridge is full, so I'll let it be, for in just a few days we'll (hopefully) once again be on our way. Up North. By car. Farm time.

All the days between 27/5 and 13/5?

I've been digging up the garden! I've been prepping for the farming. I've been carrying out benches, and warming the sauna, and swimming by ice sheets in the cool blue, as I wait for the grass to grow greener and the summer season to once again greet me with its sheen and radiance...

It's been good. I'm starting to tan. I'm eating carrot puree for assistance.

Harry Mack put out another banger recently. Fire in the booth. Literally. Forward to 15:24 for the best part, IMHO. Art's special. Yes art.

He does re-use some one-liners in this one. Rappers in fear, the booth, get open, get loose... still though: this huge.

Also, if you haven't heard of Cosmic Hill, then check out this Low Fresh Song. It's @CasualBreather y'all! From the recent collaboration.

In national aviatory news plane ticket prices are up again now! Even ones on sale. I'm glad I snagged the ones I needed this summer while cheap...

Regarding the recent hosting issues: Since 4/5 the new host feels... a lot more steady? Faster, and stable even in the afternoons?

Did they get some DDOS or bot attacks sorted? Some server misuse?

Whatever it was I am *fingers crossed* glad it's better... I can load the site fine even at night now, and afternoon; basically all day. :) It may be that CF is now shielding me from the brunt of the attack, and that the issues this caused for the host have thus been mitigated too. I've no idea. I'm keeping a relatively updated mirror of the site on a backup host just in case, but right now it seems like I probably won't need it after all.

What else... did you ever wonder about that small house in old IBM code? And do you know Raymond Chen? He's been working with Microsoft for the last 30 years, and blogging throughout! Role model.

That's all I got. This may be the last blog in a while; I'll be away a lot.

It's summer... soon.
