@lyse Crazy – and nice. 😅

I kind of miss the audible feedback of home computers, too. When the drives were active, you knew the machine was doing something. 🙃

(I still have hard disks, not just SSDs, but they’re so quiet these days that you hardly hear them anymore.)

@eapl.me I wondered how you ended up with “Augenheilkunde”, but apparently the german wikipedia redirects from “Augenarzt” (that’s the person, an ophthalmologist) to “Augenheilkunde” (that’s how you call the field, ophthalmology). 😅

Finding a specialist doctor in germany can be difficult. Not just eye doctors, but all of them. And when I *do* find a new doctor, I expect to have to wait for several months until I get an appointment. According to this statistic, there are only about 8.4 ophthalmologists for every 100'000 people in this country (in 2020). What the heck, isn’t that a bit low? 😂

You still get help in cases of emergency (afaik, they are even required by law to help you *if* it’s an emergency). Luckily, that’s not the case for me. Technically, I can wait. Still annoying. 😅

wife is out of town so had to adjust the running schedule a bit. doing it on the treadmill today and realized it has been a while. i did notice the watch thought i was going faster than i was (kept quoting an 8:15-ish pace) when really i was locked on at 9:40. adjusted the distance to reflect. interesting how much it looks like the heat and humidity play a factor on my HR though.

I made the mistake of not going to see an ophthalmologist for many years. Now my old doctor has nuked me from their database – and they don’t take new patients.

In fact, none of the ophthalmologists I called so far take new patients. 🙄 Might take a while until I find one … 😩

(Dude, “ophthalmologist”, what a word. In Germany, we call them “eye doctors”. 😂)

@lyse Well, thanks. 😅 In special situations like these it pays off to have control over what the camera does. Auto-focus, for example, would have killed everything. (And then I botched the manual focus in some shots, haha. 😅)

I saw a couple of these UFOs. 😅 Planes were crazy/desperate enough to approach the airport. They were flying right into the heart of the thunderstorm. Next day, I read reports that passengers couldn’t leave their plane, because everything was flooded at the airport. 🤷

@movq Haha, that's how it always works. I also got the best lightnings when I did not film. :-D

These are some truly amazing shots, mate. Very impressive, well done! They do not compare to mine. So many other levels. Even a UFO in 6387. ;-)

I read something similar the other day for BaWü. Muuuuuch more recorded lightnings this summer than in previous years. Not as crazy over here, though. Your numbers clearly win by far, that's for sure.
@movq Holy cow, a white wall indeed. I just went for a walk and it was humid like crazy. Yikes!
@movq Good™ old™ times, indeed.

Reminds me of a guided tour in the computer museum at University of Stuttgart when Clemens Krause told us that back in the days, the operators could hear what the machine is doing. For example they recognized by ear that the end of the tape is about to be reached soon, so they then could walk over and prepare a tape change or the like. Pretty awesome. :-)

Motivated by @lyse’s thunderstorm videos, I tried to get some shots of today’s storm. I sat there for an hour. What a frustrating endeavour. 🤣 It takes so much patience and, as soon as I *wasn’t* taking a shot, there was a huge flash again. 🤣

@lyse Well, I can’t say I’ve had much to do with IBM software. 😅 Except of course the “home stuff” in the 1990ies, PC-DOS and OS/2. Little bits of database stuff later on, but let’s just say it was … “convoluted”.

I would have loved to work at that company during times like these, though:

Big machines. And you could actually understand what they’re doing and how they work. I hate that that is impossible these days.
