This dates back to July 2017 when Loïc and I attempted to run the Tour des Dents du Midi. I had an early fall and made us bail out at kilometer 30. Oli picked us up and offered us a moment of hospitality I don’t forget.
Almost 10 years after, we give this tour a second try. I feel excited and anxious.

It might come handy to quickly have setup a bucket that notifies a lambda function on any operation, like for example putting a new object.
It’s a mix of
aws_s3,aws_lambdaandaws_iamdefinitions that altogether deploys this in a matter of seconds. The only precondition is to have completed the AWS CLI setup.With this minimal folder:
. ├── lambda │ ├── index.js │ ├── lambda.zip │ └── package.json ├── s3.tfAnd in less than 100 lines, you’ll have all this ready:

Give the digital world a break.
We’ve had a wonderful time up there, a marmots dominion.

I’ve lately done my own exploration of what is possible with one single
divelement and a couple of CSS rules (see Ici c’est Fribourg and note 3156).As I was playing with the
linear-gradientfunction it occured to me that you can actually use it to paint single pixels. Simply use hard color stops and you can actually draw an entire line of pixels, each one in a specific color.So. Would that be possible to draw an image using this technique?

sal does its job reliably and I’m happy to see the sparkline on runboyrun.ch being updated daily. I find that seriously cool.
About a month ago though, I’ve received an update on the Strava API terms that in short means for sal a Strava subscription becomes mandatory. Strava did an amazing job in providing this API for personnal access free of charge for a long time. It’s fair enough to me that they decide at some point to change that strategy.
I found cool that in this communication there was a redeem code for a 3-month subscription trial. I’ve used it and have until September to see what I’m gonna do with my setup before it starts charging me. I might refactor the entire thing, slightly, to avoid subscription costs. Those are not high, but to keep enjoying a frugal life I have to stay picky about what I subscribe to.

I was very excited to see this beauty strolling Munich recently.
When I was a lad, I’ve been scheduled for an orchiopexy. I had to stay at hospital and that’s the first stay at hospital I remember. After the operation, my mum came with as a present a model car of this Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing. Mine was red. Until this day, I remember my fascination.
