Alte Dokumente aus noch älterer Software, neue Anforderungen und verführerische Zufallsfunde in dem Bereich, in dem beides aufeinanderzupassen scheint. Manchmal verkürzen sich Wege, manchmal haben kürzere Wege ihre eigenen Herausforderungen. Geschichten von Problemen, Lösungen und goldenen Hämmern.

(Another coffee. A first meeting canceled, a first service shut down for now. Data moved elsewhere, documentation workflow, a feeling of achievement and still ashamed in light of small steps. 8am, slowly on.)

Too, xsnow has seen an upgrade today and I thoroughly wonder what it might be about. Also, briefly remembering the days when we used to write e-mails limited to plain text with at most 68 chars per line to include every kind of technology attached to this particular network and so much has changed ever since.

Still resisting sleep, might have (again?) discovered about the tildeverse. And even being not completely sure what's to this, it still reminds me of my very first web pages back in university days, with my ~login being the first anchor thrown out into that world next to the ever-loading Netscape spinner and pages keeping oddly defined typography centered on pages in front of 256 colour GIF background textures resembling seashores and sand. So much for nostalgia.

(Safe to say Jira and Confluence never really were tools sparking joy in daily work life, so it's surprising to say: Moving to the cloud variant of both has made this experience even less pleasant than it already used to be.)

Fan on medium speed today, more a habit than a need by now. Warmth of the office did retreat to just a couple of rooms and it gradually gets easier to move or think, again. Also, fitting random urgent issues into a packed stack of tasks. Wondering how much it will be able to pile up. The demotivating feeling of still spending energy on systems that are on its way out.

(Vierte Herausforderung: Weiterziehen mit dem Nachmittag, wissend um die neuen alten offenen Enden. Viel verschoben, wenig vollbracht, immer noch nicht ansatzweise zufrieden mit sich, dem Tag, der Form. Durchatmen unter aufziehender Dämmerung. Noch immer im Schwung.)

Close to 5pm. Complexity and side effects and the challenges of managing changes required by other changes breaking things. Unpleasant realities. And a hazy sun.
