#introduction time (never to late, huhu)

Hi, my name is BlackSponge, I go by Gaël in the physical life but for some reason people have trouble pronouncing it.

I am a linux nerd who likes doing things with computers, mostly programming and sysadmin but sometimes, when in an artistic mood, I also like taking photos and making videos.

I am also a god damn weeb and I enjoy cooking, so you can be expecting all of that here

Hello, I want to give my mom some visibility because she deserves it. She is an independent artist and writer, she paints and draws, write songs and novels. She wrote and illustrated children books, released a CD (you can listen it for free on soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/evina-mueller), published a novel and now she is selling custom hand drawn umbrellas. 🌟

If you can just have a look at her shop it will be very nice : https://www.expressifs.com

Boost appreciated! 🙏

Spotify is recommending me a playlist called Life Sucks, don't really know how to take that

Are involved in the process (all hosted on my server) : Gitea, Drone CI, local docker registry, NextCloud.

If anyone who likes stupid automation and latex as much as I do is interested knowing, I might have setup a very stupid build pipeline which allow me to git push, wait a bit (~30s) and see the pdf refresh it self my viewer without any latex built locally

I have been sorting stuff on my non work computer tonight and that brought back memories up to 5 years ago.
Now I feel all nostalgic, empty and lonely, not exactly how I wanted to be on this Saturday evening

Back to programming, it took me a while but here we are again.

Asakusa, Tokyo, 2018

Speaking of typhoon I found two photos of the same spot I went hiking twice above Kobe. The second one has been taken a few days after a massive typhoon hit Osaka.

Let's continue this journey through time, now with a selection from Shinjuku Eisa Festival 2018. This was just before a typhoon hit Tokyo.

I was sorting some photos from two years ago today (never too late) and had some fun with black and white.
