Good morning noisers and a happy new month to you all! Finally it's the weekend and time to see my son again for a few days. So I will spend some time on the motorway today. I probably won't be noisy again until this evening. Anyway, I'm still in morning mode at the moment – Coffee and noise. This #sunrise was a few days ago, today I have overslept it, which is also nice. Enjoy your day!
@Cryptozeug in October 2021
We are back in the house. The ride today was even reasonably pleasant, no traffic jam today. The break at the rest stop was quite relaxing in the company of the sparrows. They live there and are pretty fat, the snacks of the many drivers are apparently a good source of food for them.
Good morning noisers! The sun is still hiding but we are already preparing for our trip into the forest. It's mushroom season and we want to find a nice meal. - Mushroom identification book - ready - Snacks and drinks - ready - Pocket knife - ready - Battery for the camera - ready I think we're ready to go. With a bit of luck, we'll report back this afternoon with a great find, or empty-handed, we'll see. Enjoy your weekend!
The forest spat us out again and apart from lots of mosquitoes, frogs and a tick, we also found quite a few #mushrooms. A few of them are even edible. So we won't have to go hungry tonight. I am planning a mushroom pan with fried potatoes. You can be curious whether that will work... Don't worry, we won't eat all the mushrooms in the photos, but they are all worth seeing. I can only recommend such a trip into the forest. Fresh air, relaxing colours and silence.
Well, that was delicious – mushroom pan with fried potatoes. A simple meal that nevertheless takes time to prepare. - Pre-cook the potatoes with salt, then cut them and fry them in the pan with onions, marjoram, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper. - Clean and chop the mushrooms, fry them in butter, then add the onions, salt and pepper. At the end, deglaze with water and add some vegan sauce powder. Bring to the boil and it's ready.
Good morning noisers! Don't worry, we are still alive after our mushroom meal yesterday. But it's Sunday, so long sleep, long breakfast and only late time for noise. Here's another curious tree mushroom we saw on the hike yesterday. We left it there, of course, because we don't have to eat everything we find. The fruiting bodies are about 5mm in size, one pink, one green.
What a lazy day! Somehow relaxing. Nothing interesting to report today, sorry. I think I'll indulge in a bit of Netflix and then finish Sunday. See you next week noisers, enjoy your evening!
Good morning noisers! Is it Monday already? The weekend was gone like nothing and suddenly I'm back in the office with a lot of work to do, as always at the beginning of the month. Well then, coffee and go! Have a good start to the week!
My #Tezos baker XTZMaster has decided to introduce new policies for baking. Now there is a 15% delegation fee and a minimum of 100 XTZ for baking. As a result, I have not received any rewards for a week. The mail support was very quick in replying and explaining the changes to me. I should either increase my amount to 100 #XTZ or find a new baker. I guess that's what I'll do now. I should still get the missing rewards from 6 cycles, let's hope for the best.
I just had fun with my son's toy kaleidoscope. It looks like it works with the camera too. It could make some nice psychedelic pictures in the future... You're never too old for toys. 😁
The funny thing about Facebook's "time out" is that they announce it on Twitter.
Good morning noisers! It's a grey and rainy Tuesday here in Central Europe but the mood in the office is actually quite good. I'm keeping my head above water with coffee and the thought that we'll soon be halfway through the week. The damp weather also has its good sides, for example the snails are showing themselves in all their glory. The autumn atmosphere is slowly setting in and I will try to take some nice photos even without the bright light. Enjoy your Tuesday and…
The sun is missing to make everything shine. Therefore, things have decided to shine by themselves in autumn. Green, orange, red, brown, everything there, even gold. The little golden snail was my highlight today. It was sitting about a metre up on the ivy, quenching its thirst. This sight was new to me. All in all, it turned out to be quite a pleasant day. I am slowly beginning to like #autumn.
Good morning noisers! It has come to this, that I have no time for noise because of all the work. But real life comes first... Nevertheless, I would like to use this short break to wish you a good day. It is one here, the sun is shining and it almost feels a bit like summer again. It looks like we are in for a weekend of enjoyment and I can almost sense it on the horizon. Let's hope for the best!
A natural wonder in the neighbourhood – Saxon Switzerland – die Sächsische Schweiz Saxon Switzerland is a small but beautiful sandstone mountain range in eastern Germany. The area is appreciated by locals and tourists alike for its beauty and is always inviting for hiking and climbing. Climbing has a long tradition here and is very demanding because of the porous sandstone. No one would take me to one of these walls. Two years ago we did a long hike in the national park,…
Good morning noisers! The new day brings a new interface at Alien Worlds. The older ones among you will remember this "game". The new site looks quite tidy and feels faster than we were used to. Mining is also very fast, almost faster than pocketaliens. I think the update is an improvement. If we now had the opportunity to mine an NFT again, the game would almost be fun again.
It's time for your weekly #free #PC #game at Epic Games. Today it's pretty special and certainly not for everyone. - PC Building Simulator (Single Player, Simulation, 2019, The Irregular Corporation) Build your own computer service! The game might be quite helpful if you want to learn how to build a PC in a playful way. A skill that can often be very helpful, because if you can build it, you can fix it.
The other day I told you that my #Tezos baker has introduced new policies and I no longer receive rewards because I have not delegated enough #XTZ (https://noise.cash/post/5k3g9w6b3mj9). When I asked the support team, they quickly and kindly told me about the new rules. They were also public long enough, but I didn't notice them. So I had to change the baker in the end. Support promised to send me the rewards for 7 cycles after the change as a gesture of goodwill, and that's…
Good morning noisers! Finally Friday, finally sleeping as long as the grumpy old man needs. I've been feeling sick for the last two days but after a long, restful night it seems better today. Time to devote myself to the pleasures of life, to housework.... Time to clean up the mess in my flat. During the week, I regularly lack the energy to do this after work. So then: coffee, noise and off we go. Have a great Friday and a good start to the weekend!
Ready for the evening It hasn't happened for a long time, but this weekend I'm going to spend with friends again and not just alone in front of the computer. The test looks good and I feel fit again. So don't wait up for me, it might get late. I'll be back home at eight, but maybe in the morning. Enjoy your Friday (evening) and stay negative!
Good morning noisers! I am just recovering from the last night with a cup of coffee and at the same time preparing for the hike that is planned for today. It might be one of the last late summer weekends, so we want to spend some time in nature again. As always, if I see something interesting, I'll show you tomorrow. But until then, it's internet break for now. Enjoy your weekend and make the most of it!
Good morning noisers! Yesterday I promised you a glimpse of our hike. It was really worth it, the weather was fantastic, not a cloud in the sky and very pleasant temperatures. In my town there are some small castles, parks and vineyards on the hillside near the river, some of which are open to the public. They stand like little fortresses on the hillside and form a romantic backdrop for relaxing hours. You can almost forget where you are here. In some places it feels like…
Good morning noisers! As expected, these were probably the last warm days here at the weekend. When I opened the windows just now, I was hit by icy air. So it's about time to get the thicker clothes out of the wardrobe. Nevertheless, I wish you a nice Monday. Have a good start to the week!
You may have noticed that I've been a bit quieter lately. I'm lacking ideas for interesting noise at the moment and of course I don't want to steal other people's content, as some here still like to do (shame on you!). But maybe autumn also increases my desire for solitude. Sometimes everything is said already. And sometimes every thought is just one too many. Don't worry, I always read your answers and often understand them, but sometimes I don't have the words to respond.…
Good morning noisers! I'm for 5 hours at work already and there was time for only one coffee. Scandal! Now it's time for a little break, a coffee, a cigarette (don't start smoking!) and a "good morning" to all the noisy people around. Have a good day and don't get stressed as I am!
Cointiply has a new mini-game until the end of October. You can try to collect 13 #pumpkins by spinning the slot machine. For every 10 coins you earn through offers, you get one spin. For the first pumpkin you get 10 Coins reward, for the last one 1,300,000. Apparently the game is only available in the app, I haven't found it on the website. Have fun with it, get the coins!
I read about this new #discord #scam and now I got it for myself and want to warn you. It's a DM on discord that congratulates you for winning two NFTs. The first link seems legit, the second one leads to atomichuD and you surely don't want to go there. Keep your eyes open and don't click every shit that appears under your mouse (if you use one)!
Good morning noisers! Today is a big day for Trekkies, because William Shatner aka James Tiberius Kirk will be going into space at the age of 90. It will be a while before the Enterprise is functional, but 106km above the Earth is a start. That's the altitude his New Shapard capsule is supposed to reach. Watch it live in 3 hours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsYXbN9W3bs I wish a good flight and a healthy return for all involved. 🖖 Source of info and images: Blue Origin…
Happy birthday, traffic light man! 60 years ago today, the Ampelmännchen (traffic light man) with a hat was invented in the GDR (former socialist East Germany). With its rounded yet sweeping shape, it was also intended to inspire children and remind them to obey the traffic rules. It certainly worked for me. A few years ago, a female figure was added, but unfortunately I haven't found it today. Therefore, for once, the picture of her comes from Wikipedia.…
What I don't like at all is throwing away older electrical devices and replacing them even though they still work. At work, a new laptop was to be bought because the existing device had become very slow. After a quick look at the component workloads, it was clear that the HDD hard drive was permanently at full capacity. So I bought a new SSD, cloned the system, installed the SSD and voila: An almost new computer that reacts extremely fast for its age. Small cause, big…
Thanks to the pumpkin game I noised about I decided to do some surveys again on Cointiply. I finished one of them after ~40 minutes and should earn more than 30k coins. All I got was this message and that makes me a little grumpy right now. Thank you for wasting your time...
Good morning noisers! This made me smile this morning – a work of art by my son. "Die Miezekotze" – The cat-vomit / vomit-cat Exactly my humour. Maybe he gave you a little smile with it too. Have a great Thursday, the weekend is already waving....
It's Zombie time – better: free Zombie time! Today we have a classic #PC #game for #free in the Epic Games Store - Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse (coop, singleplayer, 2005 by Aspyr) As far as I can remember it was a quite funny game back in the days. Not sure if I would say the same today. But hey, it's free, grab it while you can! And as always, have fun!
Good morning noisers! It's another one of those days that I'll spend mostly on the motorway. But at least I get to see my son again and that makes me happy. The preparation is going on, the first coffee is on its way into me and I'm slowly waking up. I wish you all a good start to the weekend. We will noise each other again this evening.
So, here we are again. The drive was bearable today, pretty full roads but at least no traffic jams. And even at the rest stop, with a bit of luck, you can find a little beauty. Autumn greetings from the Autobahn! Now we have to do some shopping and then the quiet part of the day can start.
Good morning noisers! The plan for today was to go to the river and fly a kite. Of course, today the windy days are over and I'm afraid the kite won't fly. Let's be surprised if the weather still changes, it would be a pity if it doesn't work out today. But first: coffee! A cup or two to be human again....
Since the original plan of flying kites unfortunately failed due to lack of wind, we took a walk on the peninsula in the river and at the harbour. A special attraction for me is always the statue of the load carrier, which you have seen here several times. Today I decided to take a portrait photo. Unfortunately, many animals didn't show up today, they are probably all on autumn holiday. Nevertheless, an hour by the water is always nice and relaxing.
Onion rings - a quick afternoon snack Yes, it's not healthy, but it's delicious. Plus, it's quick and easy to prepare and costs next to nothing. - Cut onions into rings - spice an egg with pepper and salt - roll the onions in the egg and then in flour - Heat oil with marjoram and fry the rings in it, ready. The remaining egg can also be fried and is quite tasty, even if it doesn't look like it. Enjoy it!
Good morning or afternoon noisers! Since the day started, it has brought some surprising, unexpected and worrying twists and turns. Things that I shouldn't have to talk about here and that I now have to process. A lot of noise in the head that needs to calm down. It's good that today is Sunday, otherwise it would all become too much.
I have no idea what Bitplaza is because I'm not much of a shopper. But if I were, I would like to pay there with BCH instead of LTC. If you feel the same way, vote for BCH here. There is still time to make a difference. https://twitter.com/BitplazaMobile/status/1449356220868009994
Good morning noisers! Although, it's not a good morning. We have the craftsmen in the house here at work, a new floor is being laid in the basement. You can't imagine the noise that is everywhere. In the floor, in the walls, in the air. I think I need ear protection because it's going to go on all week. Concentration is almost impossible. Not even the coffee in my office cup helps today. The Sunnyboy-cup was a gift from my colleagues and it always makes me smile but it…
A few days ago I started collecting the pumpkins in the Halloween Special at Cointiply. I won the first ones quite quickly, but it's getting harder and harder to get a hit and for the last two days I've had no luck. The idea is still good and the game is once again attracting more attention to Cointiply. However, I have now earned far more through the offers than through the pumpkins. I don't think I'll have collected all 13 by the end of the month.
Finally at home, enjoying a few hours of peace and quiet with a glass of wine. Possibly two, I don't want to rule that out. The view of the moon is not as good as it was in summer, but at least he shows himself between the clouds. It looks like a pretty cold and spooky night. Those who have read my insignificant diary entry up to here may be happy about the current Cointiply promo code. 99 coins for MONDAYSNAP Have a nice evening or whatever you have right now!
Good morning noisers! I think it's been a few days since the last #update here and it's been enough time to get used to it and form an opinion about it. Of course I see the advantages. Less jealousy among noisers is one of them. Fewer spam attempts is another. In fact, I've hardly found any nonsensical replies since the update, at least on my posts. Still, I would appreciate it if we could at least still see the merits of our own posts. That has always helped me quite a bit…
So, just picked up my flu shot for this year and I don't think I'll regret it. The side effects were severe last year, so it could be a bumpy evening tonight. But it's still better than lying in bed for 2 weeks and not being able to make some noise.
(Surprising) Habanero Report I was surprised when my 2 chilli plants flowered again a month ago and are now bearing small pods again. It is all the more surprising to see new flowers again. The plants hardly have any leaves left but are flowering as if there were no autumn. I am really curious to see how long they survive the dark season. Sorry, not the best photo but you get, what I mean.
If I could make a wish for a feature from @noise.cash It would be nice to be able to easily return to my own older noise without having to scroll through my posts again and again, thus burdening the server. A datepicker would help. I am aware that it is not easy to integrate such a feature into existing structures. But I am also sure that the professionals in the background can find a solution for it, if it is wanted. I know it's a lot to ask, but that's what we're here for.…
Good morning noisers! Yesterday I had a flu vaccination and today I am happy to say that my immune system is working well. So well, in fact, that everything hurts today and I find myself unable to work. So I took a day off and am giving the old, grumpy body the time to recover. I slept through the sunrise today but yesterday's was very impressive and I would like to share a small part of this work of art with you.
Today I had some time for nostalgia and took a look at the photos from my South American trip. The weeks in Ecuador were some of the most impressive experiences in my life. One of the towns I visited is Baños de Agua Santa at 1800m altitude at the foot of the active volcano Tungurahua. The mountains are not only breathtaking because of the altitude and the constant possibility of a volcanic eruption gives a certain permanent creepiness. The photos show the city from above…
I'm playing around a bit with fake HDR and getting to know my software better. The effect is quite amazing. I already posted this image some time ago (no.2) and now I have processed it completely differently. Yes, the colours are extremely exaggerated but I like it. This can create really beautiful moods with suitable motifs.
Good morning noisers! I'm back at work and feeling better again. The first autumn storm of the year is on its way to us right now and it could well be dangerous today. The car has been hit several times by falling branches and there are rubbish bins all over the road. I hope that nothing else will happen and that I can still take a few atmospheric autumn pictures. Have a nice Thursday and stay safe! Noise you in the evening.
Large Explosive - a mistake? I may have made a mistake yesterday. In order to push my TLM income a bit and because I heard a rumour that NFT could soon be dug up again, I bought the Large Explosive tool. Before that I was mining with 2 drills and a Gasrigged Extractor between 0.1 and 0.3 TLM every 25 minutes on a Dormant Volcano. The first mining with the new tool was also quite successful with 0.8 TLM. After that, unfortunately, it went rapidly downhill. The average is now…
The weather is slowly calming down. It was actually a normal (the first) autumn storm, just a bit much wood on the roads. There was even some sun now and then, so I managed to get almost all the colours of autumn in one photo. Not the most beautiful picture of all, but one of the most colourful. 😋
I almost forgot about it. It's time for you weekly #free #PC #game reminder! Today we get a realy strange game in the Epic Games Store. - Among the Sleep: Enhanced Edition (horror, adventure, 2017 by Krillbite Studio AS) We play first person as a two years old kid having a nightmare. Definitely very special... As always: Have "fun"!
Thanks to @EnergyB0x I am now the proud owner of two hundred quadrillion FART (2000020000001500 💨) Thank you so much for the kind contribution! 😂 I have absolutely no idea what to do with so much hot air but I think to hodl is a good idea for now.
Good morning nosiers! Do you know what a "Mieterhöhungsverlangen" is? It's a German word for a letter from the landlord asking for consent to increase the rent of the flat. In my case by 15% or €55 more per month. As you can imagine, this is not what I had in mind... That's why I'm welcoming you a little later today. I am writing a letter with offers to the contrary. I'm curious to see who will prevail in the end. 😎 Have a nice start to your weekend! And be happy if you own…
Close to my workplace is the Saxon State Winery "Schloss Wackerbarth" with its steep vineyards. When you imagine how hard the work is on these slopes, it's no wonder how expensive the wines are. Definitely not in my price range, but the area is certainly beautiful to look at. And a short photo break during the work never hurts...
Thanks to @k1ll1van1ll1 I became aware of a kind of airdrop. Unfortunately, the post cannot be renoised, so here is the direct link. https://noise.cash/post/1g39vvpw In short, if you convert BCH to smartBCH on wagon.cash, you get a random amount in $CATS as a cheque. All info in the linked noise. I got 81.78 $CATS. Better than nothing. Sorry, the picture is meaningless. You know, just click.
Good morning noisers! Days like today are extremely rare. I have absolutely no plans for the day and no tasks to do. Just absolute rest and maybe some housework here and there if I feel like it. In any case, there is always a chore to do: Making coffee. Enjoy your weekend and slow down!
A good old tradition at Christmas time is the burning of incense candles with different wintry scents. Usually the cones are placed in small incense houses, but I have a small pipe for this. The scent in the flat reminds me of childhood and spreads a good feeling. That's why I burn incense all year round. Add a good cup of mulled wine and all is right with the world.
The sparrow does not care where it is fed. Or is he smart and waits where there are many people? Perhaps he just has a sense of culture.
Good morning noisers! As already announced, I have spent a pretty lazy weekend so far and experienced correspondingly little. But I have rediscovered some beautiful photos and enhanced them a little. Join me on a short walk through #Paris to a famous signpost placed above an underground toilet. Yes, even something like that can be important on a city tour! 😉 Enjoy your Sunday and get some rest, if possible!
Happy birthday, @MarSou ! My best wishes to the celebration of the day – for both of you. Stay as you are, powerful, friendly and sometimes a bit mad! The world needs people like you. Have fun on your surely big celebration today! I'm sending some (living) flowers and party bumblebees to back you up. 🍾🎉🎇
But sure, with pleasure more of it! If it helps to teach the algorithm quality, we're happy to repeat it every day.
I love cheese! Solid, liquid or gaseous, if there is such a thing. 🤔 Today I made breaded Camembert with cranberries. Apologies for the fast food porn but this was too delicious not to share.
Good morning noisers! It's a typical Monday morning. The night was over far too quickly and work has started far too early. I can't really get away from the weekend yet and am correspondingly grumpy. I just found out that work starts an hour earlier tomorrow and I can hardly hold back my joy. I wish you a better start to the week. It feels like it's already time for the weekend...
This is a Covid-19 antibody test. With its help, the level of antibodies in the blood can be detected, i.e. the possible existing protection against a severe Covid disease. The test is interesting for vaccination supporters and opponents alike, as a high number of antibodies can indicate a successful vaccination or a disease that has been overcome. Out of curiosity, I took such a test today, half a year after my vaccination, and got a pretty good result. So my protection…
I always liked going on holiday to the #Netherlands when there was still time and money for holidays. I love this country for its nature, culture and free thinking and it always felt like a little liberation to cross the border (in that direction). Unfortunately, I had neither a good camera nor enough enthusiasm to take good photos. Some of them have turned out well and I have subjected them to various pixel tortures today. As diverse as the Netherlands. I'm sorry if it…
With the Cointiply promo code YOUDESERVEIT I say good night for tonight.
Good morning noisers! The day started very early today, much too early for my liking. I've been at work for an hour now and it's still dark outside. There's some maintenance work to be done and that can only be done when the shop is closed, so at night.... On the other hand, I have an early closing time today, which isn't bad either. Have a nice Tuesday. Cheer up, the week will soon be over!
I was a bad noiser today! An bad, boring, uninteresting, tired noiser with no meaningful contributions to the overall situation. And antisocial to top it. Well, there are days like that. Maybe tomorrow will be better, or sometime when I've finished my arguments with the landlord. Until then, I'm grumpy and silent for now. 🤐
I think this was one of my first attempts at macro photography. Not very macro yet but the direction is right. Mussels and a tiny crab on the North Sea coast.
Good morning noisers! Today is another day when I know exactly why work is called "work". It's almost 11 a.m. and I'm just having my second coffee light. It's an annoying invention of mine that I always make when I've forgotten to buy ground coffee again. The preparation is simple: use as much water as usual, but only half the coffee powder. The result is a thin, light-brown brew that has no effect beyond the placebo effect. But at least it is hot, better than nothing. Have…
That made my day! Earlier there was a big letter in the letterbox, stuffed inside, crumpled and quite thick. First I wondered what I had ordered again, then I remembered that I was waiting for something. A few days ago I had a conversation here about home-grown #chillies and we decided to send each other seeds. And now lots of fresh chillies and a necklace of dried ones are arriving here. I am just thrilled. I've never been to Portugal and didn't know anyone there before…

Something is different today. What might it be? Right, I don't start the day with a good morning noisers! Why? Well, it's getting on my nerves and I'm sure it's getting on yours too. Further, mornings are rarely good, just an unwelcome interruption to the night. And of course it's not morning everywhere when it's morning here with me. So have a good time and enjoy the day or night. I will, with me the weekend starts in 4 hours.... ;)
It's Thursday so it's time for your weekly #free #PC #game. This week it's again a horror game and again a child's nightmare. This time you'll be bending the psysics to get to your destination. It seems to be very well done and is quite up to date. - DARQ: Complete Edition (Horror, Riddle, Adventure, 2021 by Unfold Games) The video looks promising. Have a look! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz69syeEUPY The game is available for free from Epic Games until next Thursday. As…
We just got back from the furniture store because I'm looking for a good new gaming chair. Unfortunately, it was a waste of time. If any of you are convinced about your chair, I would be happy to receive recommendations. The chair should be of high quality and ergonomic and may also cost a little more.
Hellfire in a glass Along with the fiery chilies, @MarSou also sent me a processing tip. So today I cooked the chillies in olive oil, mashed them up a bit and then poured the liquid heat into the jar. I think that should be enough heat to get me through the winter.
What a nice way to start the day. Two new CryptomonKeys have decided to move into my wallet and they are of course very welcome. 🍌😁
Today we finally managed to fly the kite. The weather was perfect. Sun, not a cloud in the sky and enough wind for the kite. My son had a lot of fun and a few minutes in the fresh air is also good for me, I guess.
I hope that this nonsense with the time change will soon be abolished. Ok, one hour more sleep is nice, if it wouldn't be one hour less in half a year... And the argument about saving energy is also out of the question in a time when the earth is awake for 24 hours. For me, we can keep winter time and start right away in spring.
Falcon and mouse Today we could watch a falcon hunting at the motorway service station. Shortly afterwards we saw what it was looking for. The little mouse was hiding in the bushes but we saw it anyway. The falcon certainly did too, but it was unsuccessful until we left. Good luck, little mouse!
