============

This was one of those "murky" weeks... after i finished
my project last week i now had the duty to bring more
of our salespeople online and fix some of the surfacing
bugs. Well, it was somewhat of a success, now at least a
bit over the half of our salespeople are using my system
and most of them are quiet happy.

Now... i am thinking if i can build a terminal variant of
this app just for the lols (and perhaps one or two of our
sales-guys who like "the old ways"). CouchDB is pretty
friendly as it can be easily controlled via curl, and -
at least in theory - just a bit shell scripting should
suffice to make up a quiet useable system... well, lets
see what the next, somewhat short week will bring.

Today we were at the local "Pfingstmarkt" and spend some
time there in a rain free window, junior is now really
keen on riding carousels, so we spend most of the time
(and most of the Euros) with this activity.  Other than
that we moved our furniture around to enable us to start
applying new wallpapers tomorrow...  a task i really am
not looking forward to.

Did i mention, that i am a sporadic visitor to the
Fediverse for the last couple of months? Well, yeah,
i liked the idea of the Fediverse for a long time, but i
somewhat don't like the social dynamics of more or less
mainstream "social networks". There is just too much
politics and too little nerdiness in general, and i have
the feeling that the Fediverse does not differ much from
that. What i personally really don't like is the thinking
that some person that doesn't share the political beliefs
of the majority of the participants MUST be a generally
awful person. And his code must suck. And he surely has
a totally dysfunctional life.  I really donĂ't like those
"condemnation circle jerks". Well, at the moment i am
thinking of abandoning my pĂpresence there again... those
profiles i like i could at least easily follow via RSS.

As a little addendum: I discovered a really cool thing
regarding the "somewhat normal web" - there is wiby.me,
a search engine that specializes in the "old web" and
indexes especially classical, normal homepages. The
experience really resembles what you could find on the
surface web of a time long gone and somewhat reinstates
my thought that a personal homepage (or gopherhole) still
is the best form of social media.
