How can you only live without a shell?

ConEmu with Powershell

Hello, my name is Stephan, I'm in the beginning of my fourties and I'm developing under Windows.This is how I would introduce myself to the anonymous developers. After twelve years with macOS I must occupationally get along with Windows since middle of this year. What is going well now, because Windows isn't more bad than macOS or Linux. And the other are not better. Only different.
You realize, I'm in the phase of denial.

But honestly, what do I really need? An IDE (PhpStorm) and DDEV as configuration software for Docker. And a shell.
And the last one is missing under Windows. cmd.exe and the Windows PowerShell can't belong to iTerm2 with Oh My Zsh. And also after several months I'm crying after my shell under macOS. I have by now found a replacement with ConEmu and Oh My Posh but a PowerShell really does not feel so good in comparison to zsh. But there is also the Quake mode with ConEmu.

Spidergawd in Bielefeld

Spidergawd in Bielefeld

Bielefeld realy exists and what I've always said: concerts in small clubs are the best. And the concert with Spidergawd in Bielefeld last friday was such one. I was stumbled upon a video of Spidergawd through a tweet from webrocker that fascinated me much. A little bit of desert rock like Kyuss, a insane drummer and an alto saxophone. What a combination!

The whole thing remembers me at the time when I have spotted Dog Eat Dog the first time and have always the firm opinion that Metal/Rock and a saxophone are a well but far to rare combination. And such a alto saxophone has a much wider sound width (from a ship horn to the very top) what makes the whole thing even more exciting. The Norwegians have shown a lot of fun two hours long and pulled the unfortunately lazy crowd on their side. Outstanding! And now you are listening to my favourite song. A thousand times. And after that you buy all of their albums, okay? Thanks.

I am stuck

I am stuck

I am a little bit ashamed to have to admit, that I am stuck in a computer game. And that for quite a long time. But the chapter in castle Brunwald in Indiana Jones III is wrecking me up. And it annoys me too. So now that I have decided to put the game aside and dedicate to another game. Let's see. I think it will be a Sierra game.
