Welcome ... I'm Kristof

I've been a passionate software developer for almost 30 years and currently a tech-savvy IT manager. In my spare time, I tinker with things like this blog, because creating software never lets you go. Here is more about me ...

Crochet Vitamins

My sweetheart is crocheting again, and when she does, it’s usually a major endeavour that takes several weeks. This time is no exception. A friend of hers wants to gift her daughter a very special Advent calendar featuring crocheted fruit and vegetables, but she doesn’t really know how to crochet. The problem is… a calendar like that has 24 little doors ;)

Look at these beauties … Just one is missing.

Unbelievable Game and Victory

7:1

It’s been exactly seven days since I got to experience a little miracle, and I’m writing about it only today because I simply didn’t had time this week ;)

All SVWW fans were hoping that the new coach, Jochen Seitz, would get the team back on track and that the new signings would fit in well within the squad. But what they all conjured up on the pitch last Saturday not only makes us forget the poor start to the season, but also has us dreaming once again of promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga…

On track again

3:0

English weeks in the 3rd Bundesliga. Away at Ingolstadt on Sunday, at home against Aachen on Wednesday, and away again in Regensburg on Saturday. The new manager, Jochen Seitz, seems to have made really good use of the long international break, as the team was already 2 goals ahead in Ingolstadt, then conceded an own goal and a counter-attack, before scoring two more goals in the last minutes to make the final score 2:4. Hats off to that mental strength!

On Wednesday, Alemannia came to Wiesbaden and we were able to witness this newfound desire to score goals at close range.

We are being played against each other

That’s pretty much the best text published following the election of the German far-right party to the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt a few weeks ago.

Thomas Garden

Late September

The last few days of September, and summer is showing one last time what it’s capable of this year: 28 degrees Celsius. People are flooding the city in T-shirts, the parks are packed, and scooters are rattling through the streets. Oh, how I’m going to miss this…

It’s much the same in Thomas’s garden. All the insects are determined to make the most of the summer before it’s irrevocably over for this year. At least, that’s what we all assume, but climate change brings its share of surprises. Maybe I’ll post something similar in a month…
