We tend to go on lots of small trips with interesting destinations rather than long holidays in one place (like a beach for example). My girlfriend has a gift for picking out interesting spots. Yesterday we visited Theo Jansen’s Strandbeest Mortuarium which is located in a hangar in the Dutch city of Delft.

A few weeks ago my friend Ilja rekindled my interest in learning the Go programming language. I first heard about Go many years ago. What piqued my interest is that it appears to be a simple yet powerful language, like C, but with some modern features like package / module management and garbage collection. I like how it produces a single binary (like C) and that it has cross platform capabilities built into its compiler and toolchain. Its concurrency features in the form of so called goroutines are praised as well, but I have not yet had a reason to look into that.

Today, after weeks of prep work and unfavorable weather, I finally finished installing a Meshtastic node on the roof of our building.
