My name is Robert and I am an Apple System Operator and Evangelist at a university in the middle of Germany. My tasks there include the procurement, administration and configuration of Apple hardware as well as supporting students and lecturers in the use of Apple products. After a considerable hiatus, I’ve returned to the world of website creation in 2023, with a particular focus on implementing designs using HTML, CSS, and a touch of JavaScript. Since May 2024, I've also been trying my hand at being a YouTuber with my mate Rine. This page serves as a form of documentation, where I showcase techniques to internalize them and have a reference for future use. I typically write the content on the go from my mobile phone but format it and add links, etc., when I’m seated at a computer. You are welcome to contact me via one of the channels below. However, I prefer to communicate by email.

Unfortunately, work on the Webring has also come to a standstill. But hey, I made a video with a mate on the…

With EchoFeed I have now found a workable solution to throw my posts into the social media. In the meantime, I had relied on micro.blog, but I think I'm better off with EchoFeed, as I'm only interested in distributing my content to Bluesky and Mastodon and don't need an additional blog that presents the same content. EchoFeed is also significantly…
