Oblastle Dev Log 001 Lately my family and I here in Germany have been playing a lot of Wordle and Worldle. Every morning our chat group is filled with messages sharing scores, reacting to others, and fun facts once everyone has answered. I’ve discussed words and places that would have otherwise never come up.

sewa reef controller

After months of work I’m pleased to announce I installed my DIY reef controller today!
Yesterday: Today: The Сева (Sewa) Controller replaces a rats nets of outlet timers and manual processes with a micro-controller plus relay power system. It brings a more complex flow simulation, automated feed mode, and refugium light schedule to my 300 liter reef aquarium.

new year, new coral

New year, new coral Happy new year! Welcome to 2022. To celebrate my birthday I added coral to my aquarium. Fish Nerd 🐠 Birthday. Decided to try capturing some of their beauty with a DSLR camera. Enjoy.
This month marks the one year mark since I first lowered Masha’s aquascape into a barrel to start the cycling process. You can read more about that here, and wow things have come a long way since then....

Canary Islands trip It’s the first week of December and Munich is getting cold. Not much snow though ❄️ 😞. Let’s go somewhere warm! Oh and that has diving.

Route
It’s winter and we are back in the mountains!
mob at the start
Last weekend Masha and I did our first ski tour of the season. From the parking near Spitzingsee area we went up and around Rauhkopf.
through the woods
The first 100m under the lift was packed but people quickly spread out. I think 90% of skiers out that day were headed to Taubenstein and not beyond. So only saw people on the first third of the route....

Made it into the alps last weekend for a multi-pitch climb! On a ridge above Chiemsee we, had a great day in the alpine, learned a new climbing technique from friends, and continued to hone our skills.

Blessed with good weather, we drove down from Munich to the Seilbahn parking linked above. It opens at nine and by then we were filling our packs with climbing hardware and ropes....
my first raku script -- 28.09.2021
Raku Larry Wall’s Stranger than Fact Talk got me excited about perl6 / raku! I first tried perl a few years ago and liked it. For me it fits in between Bash and python. Bash is great for simple shell scripting but terse syntax and not being a full blown programming language limit its usefulness. I found perl’s shell interop powerful for scripting tasks that benefit from error handling and clear types....

dolomites
11.09.2021
Rain, rain, rain sums up this summer in Germany. Continued Covid restrictions means not meeting many friends and bad weather means less opportunities. Lucky for us we got down to Italy for a weekend in the Dolomites.
Mts This was my first time in the Dolomites section of the alps I had been told many times about. The skiing paths cut though big walls perfect for climbing and ski touring....
