Thanks for the little showcase, definitely appreciate it ✌️

Thanks, it's encouraging to hear that from another person. The itch is definitely there and I have a sneaky suspicion that won't budge any time soon ^-^

I don't have a license so I gotta take driving classes and pass an exam before I can hit the public road unassisted, so safety's sorted ;)

Important advice to remind myself it's supposed to be FUN, and not stress about being perfect now that I'm still learning. Can't ride daily, but I'll definitely be riding more often once I've got my license!

Gonna take a look at this 👀 thanks for the advice mate!

Alright #motosky - time for an update!

I'm starting to get the hang of vehicle control, I'm making progress ^-^

Acceleration, braking, swerving going well. Clutch control for walking pace is still difficult. I might be thinking too much. Was told I could be more 'one with the bike'

Any tips?

"leave me alone"

Started cleaning out some of the mess that'd been piling up in my home ever since I moved in. A friend of mine helped along yesterday, providing insight in a way I'd lost over time.

Pull everything from its place, clean, throw away old stuff, put back.

Even with just 20% done, it's a relief.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her.

new technology is amazing

Alright, ordered some lens spanner thingies, checked my nitrile gloves again and there's an apothecary around the corner who will provide some quality high-proof alcohol that'll help clean the aperture blades...

Boys, we're fixing this lens!

Currently starting out on an MT-03. Once I'm a little more capable it'll either be the MT-07 or the FZ6.

The Two-Finger Salute: A Language of Silent Solidarity - Montreal Rides Why a Simple Gesture Means More Than Hello When You’re Riding Alone. There are days when I ride because I want to see the world, and there are days when I ride because I need to escape it. On those la...

Two fingers down. It’s not just a wave; it’s a lifeline.

I’m writing about the silent solidarity of the road and why that split-second connection matters so much when you're riding solo.

Cheers mate, many thanks!

Bij voorkeur gisteren al, natuurlijk ;)

Ho-ly shit #motosky

We FINALLY started motorcycle driving lessons! Took some delays and rescheduling to happen, but we're really kicking it off!

Half-turn, full turn, parking with the mc in hand, zig-zag, and got to drive to the garage

I'M SO STOKED!! WE'RE DOING IT WE'RE DOING IT

Close-up top-down shot of the backside of a vintage Pentacon 1.8/50 lens. The lens has been partially deconstructed. The diaphragm is seen closed, the blades showing signs of oil on the ends.

Figured I'd pick up an old hobby of mine...

Oil on the shutter. She won't operate herself like this. We're not taking the entire lens apart to repair it ourselves, right?

Right...?

Oh. My. God.

IS THAT WHAT I'VE BEEN PROCRASTINATING ABOUT FOR MONTHS??

It took 45 minutes. It was surprisingly easy with a bit of guidance from a friend. I WILL be making the same mistake again.

Well well, we made it another trip 'round.

Happy new years everyone. Best of wishes in 2026, may your circles grow and your successes be many. May you find comfort in your interests and find peace in whatever situation you're in.

Remember you're seen, you're worth it, you're loved. Stay strong <3

The GameCube was released in North America 24 years ago today on November 18th, 2001 🎉

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.

uh oh, did your widdle cloud stop working? did your precious enterprise-wide SaaS cloud interrupt your business operations through no fault of your own?
on-premise servers don't look so antiquated now do they?

I'm sure I'll manage, just pondering the distros and backup solution I want to set up. However, knowing the time I take setting everything up, focus on getting stuff turned on and my favourite games booted, first!

Oh got invited over to the fam and I love them very much so I'll have to ponder about how neatly I'm going to do the cabling and how terribly I'm going to stumble with installing Linux for a couple days longer ^-^

Mfw I can't build my pc until Sunday even though I got all the parts 😭
