OneNote and Excel need to mate and get babies and have a half-wiki solution. :P

Oh well, I'll just make a database in Obsidian instead and utilize Dataview like there's no tomorrow.

A garden view from my backdoor. I've made sure that whenever I walk under that tree (which consumes the upper half of this picture), its branches won't touch my head. Been trimming it over time for exactly this and it's great. :)

I'm not overly tall, though, so visitors will still need to duck. And they do want to duck because that tree's filled with murderous tall needles. I call them 'moordnaalden' in Dutch. :P

It's starting to become tradition that my dad and I are doing DIY stuff in the rain. :P

Well, ok, the new shed actually gave us shelter for the most part. There's that!

*Tries to write in English about a Dutch thing*
*Fails miserably*
*Gives up*
I don't think my brain wants to English this morning. :P

Weird Dream 

Oh right, before I completely forget about this weird dream, I'd better jot this down. It's funky, funny, and just outright weird. If you want to make a novel out of it, I demand to be credited!

So, my dream last night was about monsters absolutely scared of cute looking baby wild animals (like a cutesy cartoon cheetah and such, just in 3D. If you know the game Space Ark, it's pretty damn close). Monsters live in the forest, they have to flee. Farmers insta-demolishes forest (just like you'd see in cartoons basically) and make farmland. The cutesy wild animals drive the monsters away for them...

Then somehow I'm in a small group of.. well, humans. Found a large metal door, opened it, and locked it behind us, so those cutesy animals couldn't chase us anymore (we're not monsters... but hey). We'd entered another forest area, kinda level-locked by that door like in games. Saw some monsters which were shy. Ok fine. Saw some sort of a .. uh.. sorta starport Inca style with fancy sparkly lights, and we had the idea we have to leave this planet before the cutesy wild animals and the farmers took over the whole damn planet, ultimately flattening everything to convert into farmland...

It really got weird.

Oh one of the monsters (which kinda looked like a giant hippo from Madagascar) wasn't happy with our presence. So they went off to open that door.. but then regretted it instantly as those cutesy wild animals started chasing them, and suddenly the previously hidden forest was fast getting flattened and demolished and insta-converted into farmlands and my group had to hurry up to figure out how to call a starship to leave that place...

Then I woke up, wahhhh. :P

(I also remember one of those monsters being a tiny body with a huge alligator head, cartoon style...)

I like reverse image search. That way I can figure out what plants I have in my garden. :P

I'm still busy with the Kittens Game. I've got a city going with 180 kittens, 225% happiness, and they've expanded into space. Pollution's at an all-time low.

I'm more and more convinced that we should let cats rule the earth!

Another half an hour of work done in the garden, I think that's the last bit of outdoor activity for me today. It's way too hot. :P

This time I tended to my grapevine. If a leaf even has a tiny bit of mold on it, it's taken off. I'm not overly worried about the vine getting bare, it's amazing how fast this plant will regrow its leaves. I prefer nice big green leaves over drab crumpled grey ones.

I should've done this sooner, but the construction of the shed took all my attention. Ah well. The affected leaves are mostly gone now, it's just a matter of maintaining it from now on which should be easier.

Half an hour of sweeping in the garden and I'm already totally drenched in sweat. :blobsweats:

At least the garden's largely clean now. Will tend to my grapevine soon, there are a lot of leaves with mold that I have to remove before it spreads even more. First, time to cool down a little.

Nifty detail: My old patio table fits exactly in the shed. Kinda a makeshift workbench there. :)

Oh, it's the time of year again that stores are advertising those little pools you can set up in your backyard.

I might actually consider getting one if this summer is going to be hot and dry.

I think I've enjoyed enough outdoors for today. Filled a whole trailer full with large branches and brought it to the 'milieustraat' (a city-funded dump site that recycles, basically). It's a bit too hot to do more work now, we've already been at it for about 2 hours. I'll sweep and clean up my garden tomorrow if it's not too hot.

After two weeks of holiday, time to go back to job. Heh. Prepping backpack and bike now...

Kinda annoyed that the world seed changed when the server software got updated... Now my base is inside of a slime chunk. And I can't seem to put it back on the right seed. -.-

The hard winds blew away 25% of my roof this afternoon. 

Oof

*eyeroll* My dad just did a dad joke to me. :P It's in Dutch though..

Dad: Je kan deze doos met gereedschap naar mijn auto dragen, of 5 planken.
Ik: Ik doe die planken wel.

Onderweg naar zijn auto...
Dad: Ik denk dat ze ongeveer even zwaar zijn.
Ik: Het valt wel mee, ik heb de planken in een goede houdgreep.
Dad: Ja, jij hebt de planken in een goede houtgreep, ik heb dit doos in een goede ijzergreep.

Ik: *groan*

Wir schreiben das Jahr 2422. Unsere mittlere menschliche Lebenserwartung liegt bei 100 Jahren. Kriege, Hunger und Krankheiten sind auf der Erde mittlerweile unbekannt und die Besiedlung anderer Planeten hat begonnen. Das überall verwendete Icon zum Speichern von Daten ist immer noch eine Diskette.

🎨 A painting/Fediverse experimentation:

With percentages of Red, Green and Blue, you can obtain a precise RGB color definition.

So, please vote for one or more color channel and with the mix of all the votes, I'll challenge myself to paint a fantasy landscape, using the result as the dominant color.

(PS: I'm doing full time inking/penciling on episode 37 and a bit of colored art cool-down would be great! Also I need a bit of 'Fedifun' this week. Thanks for your votes and boosts! )

Grabbed Jurassic World Evolution from Humble for $1 and currently installing it. Wonder what it'll be like, it's a little over 7GB big. Current Choice got Planet Zoo, but I think I'd rather have dinosaurs instead.
