A Personal Note

This Update is one day delayed, because I spent the Sunday evening in the hospital with my wife for a check-up. All is well, I am not a father yet, but this may well be the last Weekly Update where this is the case ;-)

I hope that I'll be able to continue the updates without severe hickups, but there has to be some streamlining: I am dropping the video collection script, as it gathers too much irrelevant videos; from videos about fishing because of the "Sailfish" in "Sailfish OS", to all that AI slop. Just to put a number: The raw file I started with for this update contained 139 links to videos.

So if you find or make some relevant video content, that has been published during the week or and has not been included in the Weekly Update, please put it (and other relevant content) in the pad :-) Also, linmob.net is open for relevant guest posts. Thanks in advance!

Thanks

Huge thanks to Plata for the nifty set of Python scripts that speed up collecting links from feeds by a lot.

If your project's cool story (or your awesome video or nifty blog post or ...) is missing and you don't want that to happen again, please just put it into this pad for the next one! Since I am collecting many things there, this get's you early access if you will ;-) If you just stumble on a thing, please put it in there too - all help is appreciated!
