Looking forward to your article about simplicity. :-)

On 12th October 2023 the United States will celebrate World Standards Day, as specified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This pretty muchs sums up the American consencus on following global standards. At least there's ASME I reckon…

I thought so too. But we couldn't find the moorhen in the animal classification book we had at hand. Glad that you confirm. :-)
In my experience the "Eidechsen" can be found in rocky terrain where there is also greenery around. The rock radiates the heat which they seem to enjoy. These sandstone walls with little crevasses are perfect. I basically never see them around here and just know of exactly one tiny spot where I discovered two lizards this year. They were immediately hiding in the grass.
My mate's shots of the grasshoppers: https://wf.isobeef.org/i/e8df08a4-645e-11ee-8223-038caf2a765b.jpg and https://wf.isobeef.org/i/f98d9e96-645d-11ee-9e39-c3d3a859e767.jpg
It's hard to judge the size, but even for kindergarden children that hideout looks rather small. Alternatively, forest owners or rangers could have created shelters for small animals to attract a variety of species and hence create a more healthy and robust environment. So, I reckon it's part of a forest program, since you said these things are everwhere.

We came across two grasshoppers, one of which even climbed my leg to escape my mate's photography. Really awesome. The other one crawled over my hand to get away of the photo shooting. Its hooked feet tickled a little bit. That was the first time I got this close to these little creatures. What a truly wonderful experience.
And I was super happy to see the lizards again. There were plenty of them, but I find them quite hard to spot. And they almost always vanished immediately.

That's what I was thinking right at the beginning. Humankind is lost, there's no hope.
So far, I still feel healthy, no signs of the plague.

tt is incorrectly counting unread messages. There's currently one unread one, but it says 0. When I mark it read, the counter goes to -1. It certainly worked a few weeks back. I probably should work on version 2.
This evening I had to go for a quick stoll after suffering from terrible seating conditions in this meeting room. I met a few friends on the way and shook their hands. Then it occurred to one of them that this was a bad move, he's home sick with a sore throat and a positive corona test. I watched like a hawk to not touch myself with that hand and sanitized the crap out of me when I got home. Let this cup pass from me. On the truly positive side, however, I saw a squirrel, the rest of the sunset (I missed the best part in the forest), six deer on a paddock and a bat flying over me couple of times. Good yield.

This meant the older kids of all the sections could finally leave their mates and join the next sections. Each section comes up with some kind of an entry exam each year. What you can see in the photos is the scouts ("Jungpfadfinder", or short "Jupfis") who are wearing blue colored neckerchiefs and explorers ("Pfadfinder"/"Pfadis") in green. The old cubs ("Wölfinge"/"Wös") joining as new scouts had to guess the type of both yummy and nasty blue dyed liquids. Banana juice, cucumber water and the like.
The explorers welcomed their new members with a quiz of green things. Somebody started with the name of something green. The next person then had to find another term of a green-colored item that started with the same letter the previous thing ended in. E.g. grass, slime, emerald, dill, etc. If someone couldn't think of a thing within fifteen seconds, they had to choose left or right and whatever another person behind them was secretly holding up in the air was then mixed into a cup as penalty. In the end they all had to savor this yucky gnat's piss. Apparently, kids love such kind of torture. :-D
No slug was harmed by the campfire. It was professionally rescued before the wood shavings were set on fire. Saussages and buns left over from yesterday's party were put to good use. Also marshmallows and stick bread. All in all, a great fun day.

Unfortunately, we cannot watch the sunset from the scout yard as it is located in a valley. But I timed the way home just perfectly.
Next week I have to sort through a thousand photos of two cameras from just this weekend. I'm already hating myself because I was one of the photographers. And a third source of pictures will be added. Örks.

Today was our yearly scout meeting. Three glass bottles in total didn't survive the afternoon and evening. After the general meeting some of us went to the scout church service next door and then we had a nice barbie with friends and the general public.
ftruncate syscall hung forever and hence the process was caught in an uninterruptible sleep. This was the first time I ever witnessed kill -9 not to "work". But I learned a bunch of new stuff. I never dug this deep into the guts before.Some of you probably know that
/proc/$PID/syscall tells you the current system call the process is executing. And /proc/$PID/stack returns the kernel stack trace. Awesome stuff!That's a wonderful article on that matter: https://tanelpoder.com/2013/02/21/peeking-into-linux-kernel-land-using-proc-filesystem-for-quickndirty-troubleshooting/

The latter one perfectly fits this sign: http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-08-aln/IMG_20230807_140853.jpg (probably a sunset, though ;-))
I had to chuckle at this one: http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-07-iceland/IMG_20230802_112551.jpg
Which brings me to the art pictures. Interesting museum visits. Mostly funny and neat ideas, but also some weird ones. I immediately liked that one (again, obviously): http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-08-aln/IMG_20230825_200517.jpg All these chairs look really cool, great photo, mate! Perfectly fits into the art category itself: http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-09-nyc/IMG_20230829_162111_HDR.jpg
That one is a good mix of nature and art combined, with a touch of ugliness, that brings its own beauty, though. It's a bit hard to describe, but I hope you get what I mean: http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-08-aln/IMG_20230827_114645_HDR.jpg
NY has some really ugly spots, that's quite a contrast. I especially get that feeling when looking at this brilliant shot: http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-09-nyc/IMG_20230830_114320_HDR.jpg It portraits the shabbiness perfectly. I'm very glad I don't live in a concrete and glass desert but rather a town. However, I have to admit, the views from the skyscrapers aren't so bad.
Thank you very much for sharing all of them! <3 I certainly had a blast going through them.
We had waffles with apple sauce for lunch at a closed ski hut out in nature. It was very peaceful, nobody around, just birds and critters. After resting a bit we tried out the scout camera. Today's mission was to get a bit familiar with that equipment. All the pictures were taken with that DSLR, a Nikon D5200 with a 18-105mm lense. Quite a heavy rig compared to my small digicam. Looking at the pics on a big screen, we gotta keep practicing. This lense is certainly not made for macro shots. We have another one that's probably suited for that, but I didn't want to bring the whole bag. And more zoom would also be nice for all the birds. But we don't have a larger zoom lense.

Finally, we encountered an old train from the Märklintage (Märklin days). This weekend they pulled out old locomotives and wagons and had extra tours between Göppingen (where Märklin, the model train manufacturer, has its headquarter) and Geislingen/Steige. Tons of people all along the tracks everywhere.

When I went to the scout meeting this evening, I first saw a colorful sky, then a shooting star above our camp fire and finally a fairly new starlink chain of about 15 satellites or I don't know how many. There is only photographic evidence of one of these events.
