Jussi's 10Centuries Playground

What a morning. First I took the girls to the parking lot from where they would leave to a 3-day scout camp by busses. They had to be there by 0715, which meant that I was behind the steering wheel before 7. Then I drove back home, packed the boys in the car, and we drove my wife to work. From there we continued to a swimming ”hall”¹. On our way home we stopped by a grocery store to buy water melon and baking paper. All that before 1130.

1. The actual swimming hall is closed is summer, but they have outdoors pools and a water slide that are open.

@matigo We have pretty similar taste, I must admit. If I would buy an Apple Watch, I would use the Milanese band. I am rocking a Milanese band on my Fitbit Charge 2 at the moment.

Of course, there are various 3rd-party Milanese watch bands, they should bring the price down quite a lot. I have been eyeing them on Amazon, just to know how much I need to pay dor them.

@hazardwarning Indeed. The past few days it has been around +30°C with practically no wind at all. Today it’s ”only” +26° and there’s a lovely breeze. A lot more tolerable. ?

Today’s not as hot as the previous few days. I will take the kids to the park in the afternoon. First I need to feed them, prepare the dinner (it’s not even noon yet, but I like to have it ready so that I don’t need to make it when we get back), and do the laundry. Busy life for someone who is on vacation.

@hazardwarning I don’t know, and they probably won’t tell my wife about the details if they have one. It’s July, everyone in the Nordics is on vacation, so no big harm if it takes some time to fix things.

@matigo She will be paid, yes. She can handle some work via phone, so there’s that. On the other hand, there isn’t much work to do in July in the first place. Her job is mainly to be there in case something needs to be done.

My wife is working for a multinational corporation. Their corporate network went down yesterday afternoon. Because all her work basically requires online tools she hasn’t been able to do actual work since yesterday. In the mean time she has been writing her thesis.

The reason for the network issue is a grass/forest fire close to a corporate data center in Sweden. The fire has fried the cables in the ground, and the fire is still going on. That means they will not have functioning network for a while…

@indigo I’m sorry for your loss. hugs

@paulh Welcome! It will be an interesting ride, I assure you. ?

@peemee Yeah, maxed-out machines have big differences, but I won’t be buying/wanting such. I will cope with a less powerful machine. The time I will spend the machine to do its work will be due to the inefficient process (JVM, Android Studio, etc.) and not because of slow hardware.
