We spend our Sunday at the Opel Zoo near Frankfurt and 
junior had an absolute blast there. I swear, he was running
every minute we were there! 

The zoo in itself is absolutely worth a visit, it has big
enclosures with plenty of space for the various animals and
has a really nice, family friendly atmosphere. 

My "digital detox" or "smol august" is going good so far: I
mostly spend time offline or getting some updates via 
gopher or RSS, spend time reading more paper books... so 
far so good. It helps a bit that i have plenty to do 
recently and that we finally found a way to get junior 
somewhat consistent to bed before 9 pm. He is now in an age
where he starts to like having stories read to him, so we
do that (mostly german and vietnamese fairy tales) and it 
works! 

The DevTerm is now working fine again (with the R01 core)
and has not killed an SD card in nearly a week... i think 
this is a good sign, but i have an image of the proper set
up system and regular backups for my user data at hand... 
just to be sure.

This week it is my turn to work from home during the summer
break of his Kindergarten. It is.. challenging. Now and 
then you get this thought in your head: "It's too quiet..."
And every time this happens something HAS happened. But i
think i can be grateful that everything runs relatively 
smooth the last 1,5 weeks...
