All things me.

posted this note on and tagged it with Achtung Perfection

”Time is a train”, and I’m about to get left behind by it and miss my deadline for Achtung Perfection. So many things happening with the family right now that I’m not going to go into here but it’s making it really convinient for me to procrastinate and maybe even give up but tonight I sat down and did some editing. So many vocal takes to sort out! In the end I’m sort of back on track. I need to get some more work into it, record some more guitars and then actually focus on the mix but if I can get two more nights worth of work I will have something decent by the end of the month.

I would love to have an integrated note taking and task management system. I would like to be able to write tasks [ ] like this anywhere in any note and have a single place where I can view all tasks. I also need to be able to use due dates. That last part is where Amplenotes just fell flat. It seemed to be just what I’m looking for but it doesn’t have due dates.

Too bad, it looked so promising.

Does anybody know how to export my iTunes Music purchases (non-DRM) as .wav or .aac or similar? I want to listen to it outside of the Music App.

18th of July

Linn, the kids and I are currently out with my dad’s camper van. This is the first night this time and we are at ”Furuvik”, an amusement park that we really like.

Last year we did the same thing and back then it took a while before it became a nice experience. The first night, and even more so the morning after the first night, it was really not a nice experience. All of us were in a bad mood and everybody where angry with each other. This year it seems much better.

We took quite a short trip in the park today and headed back too the camper early instead. We ate some food and some snacks, Linn and I have some wine and Ebbe made a new friend. All in all we all had a great evening. Now I’m sitting outside, writing this in my notebook and once I’m done I’ll go inside the van to sleep. Hopefully the others are asleep already. At least in theory they should be.

Quite literally reaping what we’ve sowed, making mojitos out of the mint in the herb garden.

Yesterday Ebbe and me finished to Wind Temple in Tears of the Kingdom. In my opinion it was a really exciting dungeon, being just hard enough to be a challenge, while not impossible and it made me feel clever in the end.

Also since I really like flying with the glider the boss battle was amazing.

A recipe for a Tequila Sunrise cocktail

Fill a highball glass with ice and pour tequila and orange juice into it. Careful put the grenadine into the glass without stirring or shaking. The grenadine is ”the sunrise”.

As I searched the liquor cabinet the other day I realized that I had a surprising amount of tequila, so I decided to make Tequila Sunrise’s. They turned out really well.

According to the [Thread’s] own data privacy disclosure, Threads can collect information about a user’s health, finance, contacts, search history, location, and other sensitive information via their digital activity. The app can also forward data to third parties about a user’s sexual orientation, religious and political beliefs, race and ethnicity, body, and employment status.

Why Twitter Rival Threads Isn’t Available in the E.U. (time.com)

This seems like a lot of data to collect for a text-based social network. Perhaps the fact that it’s not available in the EU at the moment is not necessarily a 100% bad thing? I mean, we constantly whine about the power that big corporations have and how blatantly they disregard the rights and privacy of us, their users.

This might just be one of those ideas that I only stick with for a couple of days but right now I write my blog posts with a pen and paper. Then I transcribe them on the computer when it is time to post.

If I am going to stick with it, I’ll probably need a new and better notebook.
