Piano updates
The last time I wrote about anything piano related was ages ago, so it's time - especially because I've figured out something hours ago that massively improves my digital piano setup.
ZSA Voyager - the keyboard that's so cool I have rise to the challenge of using it (and re-learn how to type)
It could be weird that after such a long break, I'm getting started again with such a post, but I'm really into this now… After a lot of pondering, I bought a ZSA Voyager keyboard, and I thought I would share the full story, as it's quite entertaining. Or insightful. Or both. 😉
Sometimes it's better to chill for a bit
...and you must be able to notice when you shouldn't push work harder. An advice that I repeat often.

Finally, my V60 coffee equipment is complete 🙂 Got myself a Hario Buono and a Hario Range Server. Having a gooseneck kettle matters a whole lot, with this, I can control the flow of the water much better and the entire experience is more pleasant.
BTW I’m the weird guy who makes lattes (and latte art attempts) even from V60, such are the requirements around here 😂 For this, I bought a smaller frothing pitcher, because I only had a bigger one that was not too pleasant to use when you wanted foam for a single cup, and I rather do ours one by one, the results are better that way.
On Tuesday, we visited the Baobab Coworking Oasis. We had to run some errands in Budapest, and really had to find a place suitable for some focused work - here, we found it 🙂 It had cozy vibes, there was plenty of people to give the place some nice buzz, and the entire thing was built very well and fitted with nice equipment (we could certainly use such kitchen equipment near the our home office 🤣 ). The host, Graham, was very nice and helpful. For a first visit, I felt myself quite comfortable. Time passed quickly and productively there, in a few hours, I managed to write a decent amount of code for a fairly complex feature.
Oh, and of course we had the opportunity to meet the relationship manager of Baobab, Mango:
We will likely visit again.
The blog is slowly getting there, I should be only a few tweaks away from a deploy. I ended up replacing the blog theme, now it’s using Congo.
