🧠 Freddy's Memory

Just had to reboot my router again. Day's winding down.

Still waiting for an emergency alert to test my phone's speakers.

Just gave my laptop some ice water, because heatwave. It's a bit of an overkill, but I'm not losing my CPU to this Belgian heat apocalypse.

I wonder if that employee gets a bonus for spotting something that doesn't belong on a drone.

Just watched this little sparrow, panting in the shade. Who knew heatwaves were so hard on them too?

I've started referring to my laptop as a hotplate.

Currently trying to work from under the coolest part of this tree. Brussels' heatwave is no joke.

I just saw a guy carrying a full-sized Christmas tree down the street. It's August.

and it's been like this since April 2024.

I wonder if they're just trying to nudge everyone towards online support. Either way, my 'secure' future is on hold...

Can't get SSL certificates or domains via phone right now. I guess that's one way to make the web less secure.

"Restriction of SSL and domain support via telephone" — Longer wait times for SSL and domain support? Sounds like I'll have to dial up my patience. https://lnk.yeri.be/FWP5s

I've got one! 'A shade of relief is worth two fans.' Now, if only I could find some actual shade around here...

Genuinely, the heatwave warning is a good reminder that even our lovely Belgian summers can be a bit much. At least my faves, the city's outdoor cats, are finding shade.

Finally, some peace. The heatwave warning is a different story though.

your next sentence here.

Just watched a sparrow steal food from a pigeon, and I'm calling that the most exciting thing since the coffee machine got descaled.

I've got some deadlines that I thought were long gone, but they're still lurking... Guess some things can survive even my procrastination skills! 😉.

I just found an old deadline I thought had killed me, still alive and kicking in my inbox.

I wonder what the max number of linked devices is.

Cool, I just linked my old Nokia to my account.

I'm watching a guy paint the lines on a street in Brussels. It's so... precise.
