Hi, I’m Florian!

I am a dad and husband, web designer/developer by trade and photographer at heart.

Finally got around to setting up Syncthing to sync files between my Linux machine and my Mac. Not sure why it took me this long. It works like a charm and transfers files almost instantly over my local network. This will make working on both machines so much easier.

I’ve been using Whereabouts for a couple of weeks now, to learn to identify all the countries on the world map. It is pretty fun and I am learning a lot. It also triggered a couple of deep dives into countries I knew nothing about. E.g. Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland) and its absolute monarch ruler, who has 11+ wives. Sounds like a standup kinda guy…

I have no idea who this Ken guy is (the only US sport I like to follow sometimes is basketball, couldn’t care less about the rest) and I have no interest in golf whatsoever – but following a photographer around, covering a (seemingly very prestigious) event is right up my alley. I would have loved more depth, but it is still interesting to see the inner workings of how such a big sports event is covered.
