The Long Walk
Reading Time: < 1 minute Today I walked for six hours and covered 28 kilometres. I will write more tomorrow. Now I will recover.
The Lure of a Walk to a Walk
Reading Time: 2 minutes There is a good chance that tomorrow I will go for a walk along the Toblerones from Prangins to the lake side and on to Nyon. For this walk I have the luxury that I can walk to the starting point before doing the group walk. The issue is that the walk to the starting…
Walking in Linear Circles
Reading Time: 2 minutes My walks are more often than not circular. I walk in a clearly defined loop across several villages before heading home. On weekends, and days such as yesterday my habit of walking in loops is scuppered by the habit of normal people to walk with dogs. I wouldn’t mind so much, if they kept their…
Self-Hosted Problem
Reading Time: 2 minutes Yesterday I was already out when I noticed that I forgot to restart the audiobookshelf instance on my server before the run. I could either go home, start the server, and run, or I could just go for my run and use the normal app instead. By normal app I mean using Audible’s app rather…
SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner and Others
Reading Time: 2 minutes In 2007 I bought a copy of [SuperDuper](https://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html) that I used to backup my laptops for a while. I bought the licence for fourteen GBP in 2007 and it is still valid to this day. That’s less than a GBP per year of use. The tool is simple. It allows you to backup your mac’s…
Creux Du Van Xero Xcursion Test
Reading Time: 2 minutes During the 30,000 step walk at the Creux Du Van on Sunday I was wearing the Xero Xcursion shoes. For almost the entire walk they felt comfortalbe. These are light, thin soled shoes that are minimal. This means that you feel more of the ground, and the soles will take the shape of the floor…
Creux Du Van Meetup
Reading Time: 2 minutes It has been at least four or five years since my last meetup. A few years ago I went to meetups with people from Geneva and before that to Glocals events with people from Lausanne and Geneva. I stopped meeting people from Lausanne because I was working night shifts as a deicer and I stopped…
Bouquetins grazing

Five Hundred and One Days Later
Reading Time: 2 minutes I have written a blog post a day for five hundred and one days. My legs are achy from a twenty minute run yesterday and I am writing this from a 2016 Mac Book Pro running Ubuntu 24.04 on an external SSD. I am running it this way because I wanted to test whether the…
Migrating Audiobookshelf From Instance to Instance
Reading Time: 2 minutes Yesterday I switched from Ubuntu on the Pi5 to Raspberry Pi’s version of Debian. I experimented this because I had just moved the data from one file system to another so it seemed like the right time to switch from one OS to another. ## ExFat to Ext4 The first step was to move my…
