In 2026, I’m hoping — begging, really — that we finally retire the idea that digital incompetence is an acceptable personality quirk in professional settings. Learn the shortcuts. Read the error messages. Google it (or, hell, ask the bots) before you ask someone else to Google it for you.
While I agree and wish my mom would do that, I also have accepted that she won’t adapt at her 82 years of age.
MEDICLIN Staufenburg Klinik. 📍
First day at the rehabilitation clinic. Breakfast was nice. Next up some post-surgery gymnastics. Curious what that entails.

For #FreeSoftwareAdvent I’d like to post about open source tools that we’re using in our #VFXPipeline. Let’s start with OpenImageIO.It’s a C++ library and Python module for image processing. Unlike old projects (i.e. ImageMagick) it is aimed at modern VFX workflows (OpenEXR, speed).We’re just using its cli tool for reading and rewriting metadata, combining AOVs or creating thumbnails and text overlays.
I have used OIIO as part of larger programs like Nuke, but I wasn’t aware that it is essentially an alternative to ImageMagick. Very nice.
I went out shopping with the family yesterday. It was brutal and I searched for the nearest bench rather quickly. But I feel like it was worth it and necessary.
It’s been three weeks since my surgery and one week since I am home. I still am mostly couch bound and have trouble sleeping without pain killers. But I am slowly feeling better.

Good old Texas Switch. Always works wonders.
Just a quick reminder: Every illegal act Trump committed in 200 days
Back home from the hospital again after my surgery two weeks ago and life sucks again.
Life is so much harder when you don’t lie in a hospital bed all day.
Everything hurts. Hard to find a position to relax in. There really is something to be said for those totally adjustable hospital beds.
