I damaged my motorcycle by sliding out of a round about. It was so slippery in the round about, some other motor cyclists said it must be diesel on the wet asphalt, because they slid a bit too. So now I got a bit of repairs to do. Blinker light, rear mirror, and GPS mount broke.

What is the point of suffering through species dysphoria? It is uncurable and it just makes already challenging situations worse. It is like hiking a mountain, but your back pack is loaded with rocks. It brings no advantage to the journey nor at the end of it.

A question for the audio book listeners out there; How do you get anything out of audio books? When I read a book, my imagination builds, visualize, and play out the events in the book. When I listen to audio book my mind can not stay focused on the story at all.

It is very hard to not have my mind wander onto whatever pops up that is not related to the book. It is a bit annoying, as I would like to listen to audio books while driving or doing chores or gardening. Not just when I can take the time to sit down and read.

It was a very different experience to walk through rain in 38C. The rain had no cooling effect at all. It was like a steam bath with very high humidity, and the light breeze did not help either. Tokyo-area is miserable in July.

Motorcycle is fun! Spent Saturday on the small roads between Norway and Sweden. πŸ₯° Also, the suggestion to remove the top box made wonders for stability.

I suspect it is not normal to cry myself to sleep because my longing to be a dragon is so strong..? Sometimes I just want to find a way to remove the dragon part of me to be rid of the pain, but would it be anything left of me if I did?

I am not a fotball person, but the second half of the game between Norway and Brazil was intense. @_@; I wanted to go to sleep, but could not because my pulse was too high. At least now I know the mood will be good in the office tomorrow πŸ‡³πŸ‡΄πŸ˜ŠπŸ‡³πŸ‡΄

So if there's a software place that isn't infected by this AI BS and wants to hire a very good and experienced dev with a wide history of professional and hobby work, that can do many things well, please let me know. I may need a new job very soon and would be quite glad.

Norwegian Dragonkin Gathering 2026 is at an end and we were 19 critters sharing an awesome time together in a cabin on Blefjell. Weather could be better, but the time with friends was precious. πŸ₯° Thank you all for coming and making NDG 2026 an unforgettable experience. Next NDG will be the 15th NDG!

The NDG group did a 2 hour long horse riding at Langedrag today. We were fortunate with the weather and the horses were very well behaved. Eventually we got rid of the goats...

Moonfang wyvern Moonfang vern Moonvern ... Why is it 4am? still a work in progress

I got a motorcycle for my birthday. It feels a bit top heavy, but it is very stable on dirt and bumpy roads. The bike could probably do offroad quite well, but I have not had a chance to try that yet. Now I can finally join my friends on motorcycle trips to the mountains πŸ₯°

I finished Outer Wilds - Echoes of the Eye a week ago and I have become obsessed with the lore of it. @_@ So many emotions going through me still, and I wish I had somewhere to let it out without spoiling it for anyone who has not played it.

I accidentally nuked my Zigbee network when reflashing my coordinator. I wish I had kept a backup of it @_@;;; At least I have good excuse to clean up the naming a bit. >^-^<

I have had an art block for 15 years, not being able to bring any of my attempts to completion. Finally I have managed to push through it and got something done! I decided to not worry about details and work on getting shape and shade looking decent this time while getting familiar with Procreate.

This animation went a little viral online so we decided to show it off here as well! It's a Dragonborn variant of Tiamat from D&D and Karsus of Netheril. It was a test animation made to see if we could animate something as a team if we wanted to. We think it came out great!

From now on, I should focus on myself and my friends rather than being the bitch that gets everything done in the company. I miss doing creative things and chat with friends, so that is what I will do.

Species dysphoria is tearing me apart. I had dragon dreams all night and the feeling of waking up from it felt like being stabbed in my heart. I spent a good 40 minutes crying in the car on the way to work because of it. This is not normal or healthy.. :(

A likely cause could be extreme pressure at work, constant business trips, and very high expectations from very many people in my organisation. The feeling that if I cave in, a lot of people would be let down is nibbling away at my conscience. I miss simple engineering life.
