For the first time in my life I won a prize: a digital radio receiver Denver DAB-18.
That happened thanks to the Met het oog op morgen (which roughly translates as “With a view to tomorrow”) podcast, which I’ve been listening to for about a decade now. It’s double useful because you learn the news and improve your Dutch at the same time.
This nightly podcast is being made by the NPO and published around midnight, so I’d usually listen to it the next day.
As of today, Ymuse, a GTK-based MPD client, is officially available in the free software store Flathub.
This has already been requested a while ago.
Ymuse version 0.20 Volodymyr is released.
Ymuse is a client application for the Music Player Daemon.
A new bugfix release 2.3.8 of the Sound Switcher Indicator is out.
This version fixes two serious issues in the indicator.
The Dutch weather is not to be trusted, especially not on the Fool’s Day.
Seriously, can you imagine a heavy snowfall covering trees in full blossom?

A minor Ymuse update codenamed 0.19 Ukraine 🇺🇦 is released.
Ymuse is a client application for the Music Player Daemon.
It’s happened. That what everyone was so scared to bring up but nonetheless inevitable. You. Are. Gone.
There was nearly no joy left in your life in the last year and a half. Not after you lost your beloved husband and, unexpectedly, your eldest son.
You have never been outside since. Not that you wanted it anyway. You couldn’t sleep, you lost weight, and you were suffering from pain in the leg you broke almost two years ago.

It’s time for a traditional upshot post again; we’ve all had a crazy year with all that pandemic bustle. And as the year nears its end I realise one gets imminently used even to crazy.
When it comes to my blog I haven’t been particularly active, so here is my year’s roundup.
