The Craft of Latte Art When I started drinking more milk-based coffee beverages, I used to always be in awe when I got a cup with latte art on it. So it won't come as any surprise that since I purchased my first espresso machine, I have been attempting at doing it myself. I must say: the journey has not been the easiest.

In just about a few weeks, I will be able to commemorate - if I want - my 5th anniversary in The Netherlands. The Netherlands: the country where I came to study, and where I decided to continue my life. But how did I end up here?

Bike Thieves: The Sequel Last year, I shared that someone tried stealing my e-bike and that they later managed to damage the battery. Yet, they did not steal anything. Well, I've now got a much juicier story: my normal bike has been stolen while parked at the central station's new bike parking.

Taal Is Zeg Maar Echt Mijn Ding Taal Is Zeg Maar Echt Mijn Ding is mijn eerste boek van Paulien Cornelisse. Het is eigenlijk het eerste "volwassene" Nederlands boek dat ik lees, laten we het zo zeggen. Het gaat over taal en dingen die mensen zeggen, niet per se expres, maar dingen die gewoon voorkomen.

How Searching This Website Works I have been wanting to write about how the search on this website works, but I haven't had the patience, or the will, to write about it. It's also not as if anyone asked me about it, so it's not as if it was a priority. Now I feel like it's the right time - is there any? - to finally write about it.

The Standart Magazine I've rarely bought magazines in my life, let alone subscribe to them. Recently, however, I learned about the Standart magazine, a print magazine that focus on the world of coffee culture. I felt compelled to try it out, and, luckily, they have a trial subscription.

Oh, zen. I should try. I’ve tried Arc before and I think they’re quite similar.

Tracking Train Rides With Viaduct https://hacdias.com/2025/07/19/tracking-train-rides/

I should make it a mission to ride all of the Dutch rail network, now that I track my trips with @viaduct.world

thank you :D

@viaduct.world hi 👋 I noticed the dates in the exports do not have a timezone. Yet, they seem to correspond to the local time, even if it is not UTC. Is that right?

Ah, I found it somewhere buried in the statistics page. I think it'd be easier if it were possible directly on the new trip page, just like adding a journey.

@viaduct.world I have been trying out viaduct (amazing until now), but I can't seem to figure out how to create tags. Am I doing something wrong?

My Current Espresso Setup Around a year and a half ago, I wrote about my espresso setup at the time. This setup has remained almost the same during the last year, except for a few things here and here. More recently, we upgraded our coffee machine, which prompted me to write an updated post and spill the te- coffee ☕️.
