@matigo Yeah… Though I think I have given up years ago when I started working on software. 😬
My older son has been talking a lot about a game he would like to play. It isn’t super cheap but not too expensive, so we thought why not. You might guess what happened when I tried to get the game for him to play…
It’s a Steam game. Fair enough, I can create a Steam account and download the Steam client to our computer. Well, I got the account created and the client installed, and the client was running just fine on the admin account of that machine. But when I logged in with the user account our kids are allowed to use, opening the Steam client end with an error that the application is corrupted or something. I uninstalled the app and re-installed locally only for that user account, but the issue persists. I gave up. I could probably check how to ”fix” this issue, but these things should just work™ , for fuck’s sake.
We have had ”a tradition”1 to visit Stockholm every summer. This year, due to the COVID-19 shenanigans and Sweden having worse situation than Finland, we didn’t go there. Instead, we opted to go to Mariehamn, the capital of the Åland islands2. It is a lovely small town, worth visiting (on a lovely summer day like today) if you have a chance.
We have done it in two years in a row, hence it is already a tradition.
While Åland islands are an autonomous part of Finland, they are closer to Sweden than to the Finnish mainland. Also, the official language of the islands is Swedish. Funky, isn’t it?
@matigo Is that attribute for the placeholder image before the user initiates playback?
@matigo Learning new things along the way while working on that repo is also pretty nice. Today I learned how to unit test Bash scripts. I have never done that before, but it looks pretty nice. 😊
My vacation has been relaxing. Luckily there is still 2 weeks to go. 😎
Dusted off a Github repository I have planned to work on since, well, 2011. Nothing major, but something nice. Also, I think I will create another repo for some basic Android things I have been using in every single project I have worked on so far.
Apparently Google is once again trying to create a Slack/Teams/etc. killer. I have lost the count of how many chat and messaging solutions Google has created (and then killed) over the years. Probably a dozen.
@matigo Not the fastest animal on this planet but definitely faster than one would think. I can imagine the General thinks twice before acting, at least that’s the impression I get when watching the General do mayhem in the terrarium.
@matigo Not as excited as we parents are. 😆 They do like to give the General food and such, but they do not spend long time just watching the General do things.
