☀️ Back out in the Mallorca sun for another few hours of tanning my little body. It’s going to be 29C again all afternoon. But at least I have the pool for cooling down.

Svalbarðseyri Lighthouse (Svalbarðseyrarviti) in North Iceland might not be one of the most majestic lighthouses in Iceland but it is certainly one of the cutest that I've been to.

Hello people! I've been on the Fediverse for couple of years now, so here's my re-#introduction
I'm Ari, better known by my tag APZ and this is my #pinball repair, #arcade and #retrogaming account. I mostly post about playing and repairing pinball machines, but I also work on #retrocomputing with all the classics.
An IT guy by day, I moonlight as a pinball arcade owner here in #finland with my partner @quester. This is purely a hobby of mine, I do this to keep my sanity and to keep pinball alive for the next generations of players. At the moment I own a bit over 30 pinball machines from 70s to 2020s.
A lot of what I do involves #electronics, #CAD for now obsolete parts and #3dprinting and tabletop #cnc to recreate them.
I love to #travel, usually to meet like-minded arcade collectors. I have a strong preference to #repair stuff instead of throwing it away. I'm a #linux user since mid-90s, having been part of #foss movement most of my life. I also edit arcade related videos.

Atop The Methodist Church

Perched on a spire at the front of Chepstow Methodist Church sits a seagull. You perhaps wouldn't notice her unless she was pointed out to you. I can't guarantee she'll be there tomorrow, but, you never know.

It was an isolated area, not far from a crowded park. Everyone wanted to see the waterfall -- which was, indeed, well worth taking time to see -- but few wandered downstream, where the landscape was also worth seeing.
But when you're willing to be one of those few, you discover what the many never do.

He had been walking steadily, purposefully, intent upon getting a certain number of miles under his feet, exploring as much landscape as he could before he needed to turn back and reach camp before nightfall.
But then he stopped, just stopped, to immerse himself in fully looking at his surroundings.

May you find time today to be in a beautiful place, one in which you are undisturbed by surrounding noise, so that you can fully focus on what you see before you.
Because nature is timeless, and she has much to teach us, and she starts by arresting our attention, drawing it away from the distractions that do little but worry and harass us.

Hi everyone,
I feel like a re-introduction is long overdue!
My name is Anna, and I'm an assistant professor of Algorithmics at the Delft University of Technology, specialising in combinatorial optimisation, symbolic AI, constraint programming, propositional model counting, operations research and reasoning under uncertainty.
I'm a nerd, a feminist and a traveller, not always in that order.
In my spare time I like to hike and go geocaching. I try to go swing dancing a few times a week. I am a Trekkie. I want to learn how to draw. I am an Indomie and Obsidian enthusiast. Based in the Netherlands, I miss Belgium, Canada and Singapore.
Since a job in academia somehow always is personal, I have chosen to mix professional interactions with the more personal ones on this platform. At least for now. Obviously, my opinions do not necessarily reflect those of my employer yadiyadiyada.
Hope to keep interacting with you all!

Ignore this post. I need to pin my bio hashtags in a post because the bio links frustratingly break out of the advanced web view in this Mastodon build and they're my shortcut way of browsing posts. Hoping they fix this in a later build.
Although I've never been there and I'm not a fan of the cold, I've always had a particular fascination with the Scandinavian countries.
I'll probably have to fix that.

A recent comic on the US giving international tourists the Big Brother treatment
They had seen the bay many times during the day, while sailing through its waters, and it was beautiful.
And then they decided to sail at night, under a full moon, and the experience was magical.

The beauty of the human spirit is that it is imaginative, creative, resilient and stubborn. This means that when things don't go our way, when our expected plans don't turn out the way we expect, we do not need to stomp our feet in frustration or fall down on our knees in despair.
We move on. We make new plans. We look around for different options. And we keep moving forward.

The beginning of the day is bright, promising, alert, as we think of the many things (I hope pleasant) we have to do.
But evening is quiet, easy, slow, a time to reflect upon what we have accomplished, and to relax into a state of rest.
Nature does this every day with sunrise and sunset, and when we follow her lead, we do so as well.

Around where we live, summers tend to be hot and dry; come August there may be a ripping thunderstorm that brings much desired water, but for the most part, the rains wait until autumn.
And how we wait for, and love, those autumn rains!
