Short morning run @ #JavaCro - I should not drink alcohol the day before running - I am getting old. - the end felt really hard, although it was just 3k

Wir sehen bei der kleinen (8) große Fortschritte, wenn Couchsurfer da sind, kann sie zwar nicht reden aber verstehen.

Alles mit Maß und Ziel, ich kanns auch mit Sport übertreiben, streaks, etc. haben wir am Anfang gekonnt ausgeklammert und es war nur auf den Eltern Geräten installiert

Agreed, aber Duolingo mit seiner gamification hat gerade bei unseren Kids gut funktioniert. Ziel hier ist dabei nicht der Sprachgebrauch sondern der Aufbau für die Mittelschule. Für mich war der wechsel damals sehr hart, aber mit ein bisschen Duolingo ist es für die Kids leichter (gefühlt).

So the night train adventure starts...

Sidenote: that's what you get for traveling by night train to most conferences -> kids who also want to ride the night train. To be honest I am really looking forward to this adventure with the kids.

Some tools force you to learn a complicated API and require constant maintenance.

Other tools... just work, and that's why it's easy to overlook them.

@openfeature.dev is one of those tools.

Do I use it daily? Yes.
Do I ever have to think about it? No.

That was the whole trip from the karnischen Höhenweg we did.

We had to skip the last down climb. My knee did not want to do that anymore.

Time to recharge... Or something like that. My body does not feel recharged ;)

Hiking for three days ~55 km and ~3500m elevation

Short morning run, before @cloudlandfestival.bsky.social continues. Today is presentation day, and I am looking forward to presenting on this fancy stage

After two great days in🇨🇭 I finally came back home with the night train. Nothing better than directly joining the couchsurfers on a Via Ferrata and combining it with a little trail run 🎉🎉🎉

Nothing more refreshing than a short run before hack.commit.push in Winterthur ;)

My Zurich adventure feels more like being a hostage of @swisscom.bsky.social - wanted to get a prepaid, system does not work, trying to cancel with the shop's phone, 40min on the line already. Cannot leave because roaming would be too expensive. At least they try!

I heard posting pictures of runs is now a thing. Managed to get below 2hrs for the Bärenschuetzklamm today 🎉
