Hello there!I used to be a full time VFX artist working as compositor, 3D artist, producer and supervisor.
These days I am mostly home-bound due to health reasons, so my focus is mostly on tending to my family as the resident cook and doing the occasional remote work for film and TV projects.
You can find my work history on IMDB or LinkedIn and I do have a rather old showreel on Vimeo. Apart from that, this is my online home. Feel free to get in touch via email or on Micro.blog.
A happy and successful New Year’s everyone! May you be healthy, happy and content.
Also ich bin da ganz bei Robert Habeck muss ich sagen.
Der Klang-Gottesdienst war sehr schön. Für alle die ihn verpasst haben gibt’s ein Video.
Anyone using Kagi for search? How do you like it?
Workout day. Today: triceps, shoulders and back again. They are my weak points and will need a few weeks of focus to catch up.
Morgen um 19 Uhr ist Klang-Gottesdienst in der Kirche St. Peter und Paul in Geinsheim mit Harfenmusik und Flöten-Begleitung. Kommt vorbei und feiert mit.

I hope you all had a happy Christmas, some good family time and lots of good food.
Sneaking in a little Christmas’s workout before the festivities. Back, shoulders and triceps today.
Good morning. I think I’ll do a fasting day today. Seems appropriate before stuffing myself over Christmas.
And as I slip into bed, I realize, it is indeed Friday the 13th. Good night.

This weekend we had our little Christmas market in Geinsheim. MY wife had a stand to inform about the Bewegungspark project and it was a great success. Lots of people came by to get informed about the project and its status. Lots of donations. And overall great feedback.

No idea why people constantly fiddle with cross-posting and what to post to which service. Seems like a whole lot of busywork to me.
I get that different people have different needs. I for one am perfectly happy with the way Micro.blog works. I have enabled cross-posting and it just works.
The only thing actually broken for me is iOS notifications. I simply don’t get any.
I now have my own Python module to write Safari WebArchives. Neat. And not too hard to implement.
So now Links also saves a WebArchive copy and triggers a Wayback savepoint.
Would you believer it? Not a single mention since I installed the Micro.blog beta build with a fix for notifications. Help me out here folks. Give me some love.
I rewrote my webcatcher Python script yesterday. It is now leaner, meaner and more resilient against failed downloads. Links is coming together nicely. Pretty much all that is left is a nicer CSS for mobile devices and a web daemon so I can send stuff to Links from my iPhone.
Trying to decide between Trafilatua, Newspaper 4K and Readabilty for my Markdown and PDF creation.
Links Update
Links, my barebones bookmark and archival solution is slowly getting better.
Today I redid the CSS or started to. I still need to reimplement breakpoints for smaller devices.
Also I finally put the project under Git version control. Version control really is a godsend. The initial learning curve is not nothing. But once you get it, it’s awesome.
I still need to polish the Python script a bit and make it more error resilient. And then I need to set up a web service for it so I can add links easily via iOS Shortcut.
Slowly getting there. Bit by bit.
