Dec 26 2004 #tsunami still causes me anxiety. I didn't experience it by myself but I spent my honeymoon in Khao Lak #Thailand in 2003 and I was able to imagine how it felt to be there. So many people lost their lives. Our previous President (Niinistö) survived. #Finnish #Musician Aki Sirkesalo and his #family died in #KhaoLak. #memories #deaths I didn't even know what tsunami was before that day. 🙄🥺 Did it affect you?

In our #embroidery club, we often receive material leftovers from estates. These mysterious scraps had everyone shouting for me: 'That's something for you, you make art out of it! Doesn't it tell #stories like a #book?'

Indeed, it's from an old woman who became too old to #stitch. Did she cut her work? Why is it cut like this? Why were these scraps saved in a box? Did she play with them, hated them, hallucinated #memories? #Art begins with listening. @textilearts

This album instantly takes me back to our prized original D&D set which we managed to get in New Zealand somehow. Every time I hear it I am writing our first campaign again and drawing up maps. Such a time.

The ocean near Thessaloniki for #meermittwoch

I was there for a conference and immediately fell in love with the city and the sea, which is also characterized by the huge port.

Also, I drank way too many Greek frappés...

Fun Fact: At the end of 2008 / beginning of 2009, I bought a mini laptop — an Acer Aspire One, on sale because no one wanted them. Windows didn’t run on it for even a minute, but every other OS did. Including a version of "Hackintosh", which actually led me to get a MacBook Pro a few months later (which my parents are still using). It ran quite well.

But the OS that worked best and longest on that little guy was PC-BSD. I truly did everything with it. When I was flying around Europe during the most hectic years of my life, it was my trusty companion - always ready, always in my backpack. I have a special memory tied to it that will always make it dear to me, but it’s a private one 😃

Oh, I almost forgot the Fun Fact: its hostname was always "acerone" - from Acer (Aspire) One, of course. But in Italian, "acerone" sounds like "big Acer", and considering its micro size (9 inches), it was truly ironic.

Crucial Track for May 2, 2025: "Livin' On Love" by Alan Jackson

Since @beardedtechguy and I were talking about memories when it comes to music, I'm going to keep that going with today's song which is Livin' On Love by Alan Jackson.

Earlier, speaking of FediMeteo, it reminded me of my grandfather (the reason is explained in the post where I describe the project: it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26).

And this is his accordion, which my grandmother kept safe for years, knowing how much it meant to me as a keepsake of him. When I was younger, I could play it a little as he loved to teach me how to play it, and now I want to get back to it, at least enough to play a few tunes.

In memory of the times when, as a child, he would play it for me to cheer me up and to celebrate.
