All things me.

Every now and then I try to set something up in Home Assistant but every time I do it feels so clunky. Still, I want to wrap my head around it and get it working because I really like the idea of it.

If I’ve managed to get things working the way I want, when I connect my phone to the charger tonight, all my lights will turn off. Fingers crossed!

The first snow fell early yesterday morning. Here’s a photo of the patio late last night as it was starting to pile up. We’ve officially entered winter.

A quick slice-of-life photo, cooking dinner while catching up on some YouTube videos.

A photo of a starry sky above a lake.
Yesterday Linn and I decided to take a spontaneous sauna visit. It was a fairly quick visit to be able to also do all the chores necessary of a Sunday but it was totally worth it. Very relaxing and a *fabulous* night sky outside.

Spent most of yesterday outside, working on the carport with lots of help from Sverker. It’s not done done, but it’s reach a stage where it’s done for the season. Once spring arrives I’ll do more work on the roof.

Never got around to posting this yesterday. My home office desk, full of little index cards to plan out a university course for the spring semester.

A photo of a lecture room. There's a digital mixing console, a laptop computer and an external display in the center of the image.
Two different lectures in two different courses today. Been a long time since I’ve done that. Years ago that was what a lot of days looked like but these days I do a lot more administrative work. This photo is from lecture #2, on sound for tv studio productions.

Pretty much the same photo today as yesterday. The only difference is that today I used Resolve a lot more than Pro Tools. Also meetings.

Today I worked from home for the entirety of the day, prepping for lectures and doing admin. Got some quality work done before lunch but then it got harder to focus as I also had electricians here, working on electrical wireing to the carport, Ebbe needed to be picked up from school and so on.
