Hi, I’m Florian!

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

Status Updates

We recently bought a (used) car online. Just got their newsletter suggesting more cars like the one we got. I don’t know… How many cars do people usually buy in a month? 🤔

The lack of updates on this here website is directly proportional to the amount of family obligations and my work work load. I barely managed to post images in the last couple of days. I hope I’ll at least be able to finish the March review post soon. 🤞

On my way to Zürich (via Basel) to meet Claudio. We do this every couple of months to get on the same page and talk shop. Despite communicating every day it’s important to do thi in-person meetings every once in a while. Also: A welcome change of scenery (it has been a while) which should hopefully result in some different photos from the usual.

I originally planned to post regular updates about my Linux experiment. I should not make such promises. But I can report, that I am quite happy with Ubuntu and the ThinkPad so far. I have been using it exclusively to do all of my work for the last couple of weeks. I think, I even might like the keyboard better, than the MacBook’s. The webcam is pretty shit, though. Anything photography-related still requires me to use the Mac, and as I mentioned before, this is not going to change any time soon. But all considered, it is nice to know that relying on 100% free and open source software (and a comparatively cheap laptop) will allow me to do my job just fine.
