My foot
This is the price you pay for getting some exercise at the weekend! I managed to do this whilst walking for 27 km during a hiking trip just outside of Berlin.
More planes
Some more photos I took at the Berlin airshow earlier in the year …
Hocus pocus solution
I can prove that hocus pocus scammy herbs sold by some dude making a profit in his shop works. Next time you have a cold, just walk into the herb shop, buy ANYTHING (the shit they sell is this good), then go home, follow the instructions on the label, and wait two weeks. I can […]
Luftballons mauerfall
Berlin celebrated 25 years since the Berlin wall fell, by launching 8000 lighted balloons from an 11 km section of where the wall originally lay.
Mountain climbing in Berlin
I cycled up the fierce Teufelsberg mountain in Berlin last night.
Eurofighter
This crazy looking aircraft is the Eurofighter. The most advanced fighter jet currently in use publicly within European air forces. I took these pictures at the Berlin airshow earlier in the year.
My manly slippers
My tootsies were getting cold during the evenings, so I decided to buy some slippers to keep them warm. I decided to get some manly looking ones to impress the ladies. They’re super awesome and super warm 🙂
Nom nom nom
More F16 pictures
Here are some more photos of F16’s at the Berlin airshow earlier in the year.
F16 Fighting Falcon
My bedroom back in the 1980’s was adorned with multiple models of the F16 Fighting Falcon, an American fighter jet which capture my imagination after watching the overly cheesy movie Iron Eagle.
WordCamp Norway
No I haven’t been visiting Oslo recently, but I forgot to post these pictures of the crazy looking statues found in Frogner park in Oslo.
My new apartment :)
I learned a valuable lesson recently. You should never agree to move into a new apartment without seeing it first, no matter how temporary the arrangement may be!
YouTube’s selling videos?
Since when has YouTube been selling movies? Is this news, or did I just stumble across something new? EDIT: I tried buying a movie, but it doesn’t seem to accept any of my normal methods of payment (various Visa cards). So I’m guessing this is some sort of malfunctioning test that YouTube is running.
Home made protein balls
I decided to make homemade protein bars this evening. I mixed up some rolled oats, dried cranberries, vanilla flavoured whey protein and chopped almonds. Then I got some peanuts which i turned into peanut butter and mixed that up with chocolate, honey, almond milk and some apple sauce which I nuked on high for 45 […]
Don’t shop whilst hungry
I was hungry whilst shopping on Amazon.de. A week later, 3.5 kg of peanuts arrive on my doorstep.
WTF Berlin?
One minute it’s sunny, nekminit …
Berlin Mauerweg
I cycled the entire length of the Berlin Wall. 160 km’s later, and I feel a tad wrecked, but it was definitely worth the effort 🙂
Berlin Mauerweg
I decided it was a good idea to cycle the entire length of the Berlin Wall (Berlin Mauerweg). 160 km’s later, and I feel a tad wrecked, but it was definitely worth the effort 🙂
Peacock central!
I went on an awesome hike in Berlin today to Pfaueninsel (Peacock island). It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Random JavaScript question
Solved! Special thanks to @Japh and John Blackbourne for figuring out where I went wrong 🙂 I’m trying to abstract some strings from a JavaScript file, but I can’t get it to work. I’m hoping some kind soul somewhere out there on the interwebz can tell me what stupidly obvious thing I am missing. The […]
Laterjet procedure
Almost three years on, and my shoulder feels great. My left arm will never have a full range of movement, but it is at least stable.
Abandoned amusement park
I stumbled across an amusement park called “Spreepark” which has been abandoned since 2001.
Messerschmitt Me 262
The Messerschmitt Me 262 was the world’s first fighter jet, and I got see one at the Berlin airshow.
Dresden
My friend Anna and I visted Dresden. I’d heard great things about the architecture in the city and was not disappointed.
Rain!
This is why you should always take wet weather gear! A beautiful hiking trip turned into a sodden set experience at the end.
View from the top
Some photos from once we reached the highest point of our hiking trip in Sächsische Schweiz.
Flying turtle

Some photos of the beautiful scenery in Sachsen, taken during my recent hiking trip there.
Strausberger hike
I went on an awesome little hike trip in Strausberger, just outside of Berlin.
Crazy choppers
So apparently choppers can be acrobatic, who would’ve thought! I saw these Apache helicopters at the Berlin airshow.
Fat Ryan after running 6 km
I’m fat and out of shape. This is what I end up looking like when I attempt to get rid of the lard by doing an evening run.
Hiking in Sächsische Schweiz
Some more photos from our hiking in trip in Sachsen. These are from the trip up the hill.
Mikoyan MiG-29
I saw a Mikoyan MiG-29 at the Berlin airshow. These days, they’re old and not considered cutting edge anymore.
Sächsische Schweiz
I agreed to go to “Sächsische Schweiz” for a hiking trip. “Schweiz” is German for “Switzerland”, so logically, I assumed I was going to Switzerland.
Sachsen waterfall
We saw this beautiful waterfall on our hiking trip in Sachsen.
Statues in Oslo
No I haven’t been visiting Oslo recently, but I forgot to post these pictures of the crazy looking statues found in Frogner park in Oslo.
Ma nu room
I’m staying in a totally sweet new flat in Berlin. I found out about it from an old acquaintance from my years at Corstorphine school, Caroline van Zyl.
Time to lose the fat!
I realised on Saturday that I am officially a fatty! That gut isn’t being poked out in this photo, that’s just what it looks like when I’m standing.
Wing walking!
Ze Germans put on a terrific show, including this crazy nutter who decided it was a smart idea to stand on the wing whilst doing a pushover!
Hiking in Berlin
In Berlin, hiking means to go for a walk in the “wilderness”. In Berlin, “wilderness” refers to the bushy bits between the buildings.
Hiking in Berlin
I experienced hiking Berlin style today. In Berlin, hiking means to go for a walk in the “wilderness”. In Berlin, “wilderness” refers to the bushy bits between the buildings 🙂 We took the train to the outskirts of town, then meandered our way through the suburbs, into some beautiful small parks with lots of bush, […]
The gods
Those gods you name, are mere false idols. The real gods will strike down thee with furious vengeance and anger. Thy kingdom come; Thy pasta will be done; as it is at Dominoes. Amen.
Ruined business model
In reference to my business being ruined: I had a business which was obliterated by WordPress including it’s functionality in core (it was menus). My plugin became mostly irrelevant overnight, as the implementation in core was much better than I had in my own plugin. I saw that as more of a failing on my […]
New Google Maps “Digital Timeline”
Comment by yours truly: I think this will be very fascinating in 40 years time. It will be fascinating to look back on where I currently live, even if it is bulldozed and upgraded in the in the mean time. It could be particularly fascinating to look back on your neighbourhood from when you were […]
Afternoon at Scheissmeile
Skating at Tempelhof
Awesome time was had skating at Tempelhof airport in Berlin today 🙂
Obstdöner party
We had an obstdöner party at Sara’s place 🙂 An obstdöner is a fruit kebab, and they taste amazing!

Cherry Court Lodge
I have vivid memories from my childhood. One thing I remember most, is having dinner at Cherry Court Lodge where I recall having frogs legs for dinner.
