Timmer’s Blog
This is Marius Timmer’s personal blog with reports on events I attended or
posts about technical and political topics that currently interest me.
Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that German is my mother tongue which is why most of my posts are written in German. But sometimes I feel the urge to be more international. You should be warned that my English isn’t the best.
I never really understood how to use snapchat. A few friends used it and made me create a account years ago. Since then I always had it on my phone but never really used it. Today I uninstalled the app and think this will be one of the easy goodbyes.
Last night a friend sent me a few photos of the polar lights he just shot. Immediately I looked out of my window and saw all the colorful lights with my own eyes. I managed to take a few photos with my camera as well.
According to the German Weather Service a heavy snow fall was expected over the weekend which caused schools to close on friday. In the end it turned out to be way less heavy. Now we have white landscapes which I love.
RSS feeds might look like a technology from the 2000s (because it is) and hard to use. But in my eyes they are the key to the best online experience which isn’t dictated by the algorithm.
We have all seen the kind of man behind the company. Such a thing simply should not be supported any longer. Fortunately, there are enough alternatives, but unfortunately, not many people know about them.
Although OTRS is capable of signing and encrypting emails, outgoing admin notifications to agents are not signed. This confuses some of my agents and is puzzling to me.
I had to think about the actor John Candy recently and wanted to share some thoughts about him and how I always connect him with my own father.
I always wanted my blog to be bilangual which it is. But there are only a hand full of English posts. That needs to change which is why I will try to post more, or even exclusive only, in English.
I’ve started a new adventure and switched from digital to analog photography on film. Now I can buy loads of new film again and have it developed. Just like in the old days.
For over a year I’ve tried to use VidePress to build this blog which mostly worked well. But now I am returning to Hugo. Why did I decide to leave the new technology and use the old Hugo again?
